The Cap room per team will be available after the start of the 2016 league year at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 9.

For those that don’t know, the salary-cap refers to a set amount of money that each of the NFL’s 32 teams is allowed to spend on player salaries for any given league year. According to the infographic, the Houston Texans are sitting at $157.18 million, which ranks them last in the AFC South, 13 in the AFC, and 24 in the NFL in individual club salary.

Being ranked in the bottom half of the league in salary-cap means that the Texans will be restricted this offseason. The team has been reported to be on the prowl for a new starting quarterback to replace Brian Hoyer and experts say that the Texans are interested in talking with both former Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III and Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler. With the Texans and general manager Rick Smith working with a tight budget, expect the team to be relatively quiet this offseason with only one big contract signing.
