I saw a post over the weekend that said the Texans were going to be $50 million under the cap next year...
Was that accurate?

I am extremely curious what the "dead money" for 2008 would be.

Right now there is no dead money in 2008. There won't be any until the team takes advantage of the June 1st cut rule allowing them to spread some of the cap hit to this year and next.
$50 mil may be very possible because there are only 27 or so players signed thru 2008--HPF.com has it at about $38 mil right now.
Being under the cap is meaningless if you have a bunch of people becomming UFAs. Infantry said there will only be 27 players signed through 2008. That means we've got 25 more to sign.

if we do have a lot of money next year I hope we don't be the Titans of this year, sitting with a bunch of money, releasing good players and not signing new ones.
The reason we would still owe money if we traded is because signing bonuses are spread over a couple years.
Anyone study who is going to be a FA next year?
Maybe Texans can be PATS of this year next year in FA's. Heard PATS just picked up WR Kelley Washington of Bengals! Can you say RELOAD
Think the colts have a yellow stain in front of their pants now. Can't wait for the draft!
maybe getting a head start for the big $'s that Deangelo Hall will want when he becomes a free agent. If Nate Clements can get 80 Million, what do you think Hall can get?

Leach, Vonta
I'm confused - I thought I had read that Leach was currently visiting other teams. Am I totally confused, or did we sign him to a 1-year contract or something?
I thought Leach was a bright spot last year, so I hope he gets re-signed.
On a trade, all unprorated signing bonus accelerates to the year of the cut--there is no dead money in future years.
If we traded Carr, we would still owe him four million for this year. Thus meaning we are paying for another player that is not on our team. We would not owe him anything next year, unless we CUT him after June 1st. Then we could prorate his cap hit over this year and next year. I do not see us just cutting DC. The NFL also has a clause about injured players' cap hits, but I do not have all the details.
