Cmartin Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The Houston Texans released starting safety Danieal Manning on Monday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Last week, the Texans asked Manning to restructure his contract, a move that would reduce his salary and cap numbers and allow him to stay with the team. Manning's agent told KRIV-TV last week that the safety was willing to take a pay cut but not to the level at which the Texans were requesting. Manning, who turns 32 in August, was scheduled to make a base salary of $4.5 million this season, with a cap number of $6 million, in the final year of his contract. He initially signed with the Texans before the 2011 season, a four-year deal worth $5 million a year with a total guarantee of $9 million. Last season, Manning started six games before he suffered a severe knee injury after hyperextending it during the Texans 38-13 loss to the Rams on Oct. 13. He is expected to be ready for the 2014 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 This is unlikely, Idzik will never overpay. (Overpaying in Idzik's world typically means "anything about veteran minimum"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Manning's play has declined since he inked that deal and he's coming off a pretty bad leg injury, not to mention that Houston's secondary coped well enough without him. My guess is Idzik would value him very low and Rex would have to sell him on a one-year revival deal like he did with Landry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Over 30 seems to be off limits amongst Jets fans we are going with the youth movement here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Jets going (getting?) hard after Manning? For a guy going hard after so many free agents, and still signing no one since David Garrard, it seems he has Whiskey Dick GM Syndrome. Doesn't he realize that if Geno Smith turns into Russell Wilson/Peyton Manning this season he'll have failed to give him the final pieces in advance? What a loser. Whiskey dick loser who can't get it up despite leaking to the media with claims that he's going hard. GM equivalent of a bald guy with a bad toupée. I see right through this.
