Top 10 cap hits for Houston Texans in 2025 after free agency

[ASFN Admin]

The Houston Texans have done most of the work they plan on accomplishing in free agency. The two-time AFC South champions under DeMeco Ryans already made headlines after trading away five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders.

But not all has been bad. Houston shored up its defense with the additions of defensive tackle Shedlon Rankins and do-it-all defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson. They also made smaller signings like wide receiver Braxton Berrios, fullback Jakob Johnson and offensive tackle Cam Robinson.

With those moves, plus the extensions of All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr and Pro Bowl defensive end Danielle Hunter, the Texans currently have (as of Thursday) just under $29 million in cap space. Currently, a total of 12 Texans have a cap hit of at least $5 million in 2025.

Let's have a look at which players have the 10 biggest cap hits in 2025.
