The Houston Texans have a lot of salary cap space for 2024. After the NFL raised the cap to a record-high $255.4 million, Houston will have an around estimated $67.5 million in space this season, per Over The Cap.
This will give Houston a lot of financial flexibility this spring, either to extend or re-sign their players or spend lavishly in free agency. The Texans could even trade for and extend a deal-seeking veteran as well.
But all that cap space doesn’t mean Houston doesn’t have dead money to deal with this offseason. The Texans have about $13.7 million in dead money owed this year to players who either aren’t on the team anymore or whose contracts automatically voided after the 2023 season. That ranks 12th in the NFL, per OTC. That number could also rise if Houston elects to release other players to save even more money.
Here’s how the Texans owe $13.7 million in dead cap money.
