Didn't the Texans already have a ton of cap space? Do they have like some other big signing lined up besides a potential Romo trade that would necessitate this instead of just cutting him next season?

I hope turning cap space into picks starts happening in the NFL

If the salary cap keeps going up as fast as it currently is from year to year, it will be.

I could dig up some weird poo poo from the 70's-80's when team owners were loving everything up and going bankrupt, but I can't think of anything in the salary cap era.

They just reported on NFLN that it was the second rd pick they wanted and just took Brock to make it happen. No plans to actually start him as of now.

I think they just demonstrated that Brock has no value.

You'd bring him in as a backup QB now and make him try and unfuck his situation, and no one's trading picks for that.

Texans have to eat like 9 million cap hit to get rid of Brock too I think based on his signing bonus.
