Thanks for your support!
Not really worried about it. He's a shell of the player he once was. To be honest I'm more excited about an expanded role for Zach Cunningham. PFF had him as our highest graded player against the Jags. He's a ballhawk.
How does this affect his pay and our cap? Is that treated like a savings to us? Is he still paid?
9.5 million (9.3 in cap hit this year) in dead cap space. How could his contract been so lucrative (and detrimental to the Texans) after 2 knee surgeries and one (now two) PED suspensions? This is a guy who has made the pro bowl once in his entire career and that was his rookie season. Every has been mediocre FA with injury and PED history should be banging on Rick Smith's door to be let in.

Not sure how pay wold work for suspension
I am sure this isn't Rick Smith's fault. Someone told him to give the contract to Cushing.
I am a fan of Cushing. Hate to see him go out like this.

Cut him.
Don't you remember, someone else will be enjoying our demise come next draft?Well this seals our first round draft pick! Maybe we can trade down to get more draft picks!
At least we got that going for us!

Not so fast. I do have one question though.Cut him.

Will Brian Cushing be ready for the playoffs?
Why is everything falling apart in 2017? No Duane Brown. No Brian Cushing. We may go 2-14 and get the 1st overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Which the Cleveland Browns, not us, will enjoy! As well as the #33 pick overall.
Our only hope now is Deshaun Watson starts every game and plays well despite a porous offensive line. Perhaps we can win 8 or 9 games. That's all wishful thinking on my part. If we win 5 or 6 games this year that may be all we can ask for.

The only good thing to happen is we'll clean house right? Rick Smith will finally be fired along with Bill O'Brien. We can start fresh this off-season with a new front office and head coach.Same reason it fell apart in 2013. Piss poor planning.
