The Houston Texans are Moving Closer To The Youth Movement With Cecil Shorts’ Pay Cut – by Patrick Starr, Scout.com

"It is clear Shorts is going to have to prove his worth when training camp arrives. The Texans appear to be ready to start the youth movement but they will want Shorts to make it tough for the younger players when training camp arrives. Timing is always something to pay attention to and, with this move coming around the closure of mini-camp, the staff had a chance to get better looks at youngsters Jaelen Strong, Keith Mumphrey, Braxton Miller and Will Fuller V. Something about what the team saw made them feel comfortable with this move."
