The Houston Texans won’t be as aggressive in free agency following back-to-bak promising years on the market.
At the end of each season, teams rollover any unused cap space from the current year and add it to the next season’s total. Following the 2024 campaign, Houston is rolling over just over $4.82 million according to Jason Fitzgerald of OverTheCap.com.
That’s roughly in the same range as contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs ($3.1 million), Miami Dolphins ($3 million) and Los Angeles Chargers ($4.9 million).
The Texans could trim some fat to free up cap space before the start of free agency, but after the rollover, they’ll enter 2025 with $3.9 million in cap space. That’s 25th overall and the last of teams remaining in the net positive of cap space.
Houston has 22 in-house players scheduled to become free agents in March. Expect the Texans to bring back a few key players and then look to fill some needs during free agency ahead of drafting more talent in April.
The Texans hit the field on Saturday to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round. Kickoff from Arrowhead Stadium is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
