The Houston Texans are finding salary cap savings where they can.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Pro Football Network, the Texans have released tackle Marcus Cannon, saving the team $5,202,941 against the salary cap per Over The Cap figures.
Cannon was one of a handful of former New England Patriots players who found new life following Nick Caserio to his general manager role in Houston. The former 2011 fifth-round pick from TCU played in just four games for the Texans in 2021, starting in all four of them. The theory was that if Cannon manned right tackle, the Texans could kick Tytus Howard inside at guard while Laremy Tunsil played left tackle. Injuries to both Tunsil and Cannon forced Houston to move Howard to left tackle.
