Ahman Green could be odd man out

After getting a look at Chris Brown's contract, he's almost a lock to make the Texans roster. He could be the favorite to start and I suspect Ahman Green's roster spot is just as precarious as someone like Chris Taylor.
Green got a $5 million signing bonus last year, so the Texans would have to eat $3.75 million of that bonus on the cap if they dealt him. But add up Green's big salary and roster bonus ($4.3 million) and they would actually save cap room (and real $$) if they cut him before Week 1. In the end, Green's contract won't save him if he isn't performing.

I disagree. The Texans would be taking a huge PR hit if they dumped Ahman Green one year after signing him to a large deal. Kubiak loves Green. If Green is healthy enough to contribute, he'll be the starter. Brown was brought in as a misguided insurance policy. If there's one thing that shouldn't be associated with Chris Brown, it's the term "insurance".
