Texans release Zach Cunningham


Recommended Posts

With Logan Wilson being sidelined for a few weeks, he would be a nice fit.

Sure tackler who I believe led the league in tackles in 2020.

Great size at 6'3" 238 lbs.

 

From nfl.com

 

Cunningham inked a four-year contract extension with Houston in 2020 worth $58 million.

The Texans restructured his deal this season, dropping his base salary in 2021 to $990,000, so he could be a claim target on the waiver wire.

The Texans will be left with a $12.83 million cap hit in 2022.

No thanks...  This is not a meat puppet we want in our locker room... assuming he would show up.  Sounds like Squeeler material.

He also had disciplinary issues. According to the Houston Chronicle, he was benched for one quarter in Week 2 for violating team rules (reportedly a recurring lateness issue) and was deactivated for Week 13 for violating team rules again (this time he reportedly missed the players' Sunday morning COVID-19 test).

#Texans HC David Culley on cutting LB Zach Cunningham: "We've got standards. I didn't feel like those standards had been met consistently. This is about the team, it's not about any individuals." Was it a tough decision? “Wasn’t tough at all."

The Texans have standards?  Who knew?
