Denico Autry An Obvious Cut Candidate
1 day agoThe Athletic's Mike Jones lists Houston Texans defensive tackle Denico Autry as an obvious salary cap casualty this offseason after starting just two of the 10 games he played in after signing a two-year, $20 million deal last year. The 34-year-old veteran did not live up to expectations and recorded only 13 tackles and three sacks in 2024. If the Texans were to cut him with a post-June 1 designation, they would save $9 million on the 2025 salary cap. It's a move that seems likely to happen since the Texans are projected to have barely more than $3 million available in cap space when the new league year begins in March. Autry was suspended for the first six games of 2024 due to performance-enhancing substances and then served as a depth option on the defensive line behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.
