Houston Texans: 4 bold predictions for the offseason

4. Part ways with Lamar Miller

This might not come to surprise for some fans. After all, Lamar Miller has failed to rush for at least a 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons while also amassing over 1,300 rushing attempts during his career.

If the Texans decide to part ways with Miller by June 1 they will gain a hair over $6.2 million in cap space in 2019, per Over The Cap. Although the Texans are sitting pretty regarding cap space with around $59 million in current spending money, adding an extra $6.2 million would go a long way to resigning homegrown talent and other free agents.

Miller is far from a free-agency “bust,” but his fair results don’t match his four years $26 million contract that ends in 2020.

Running back needy teams with cap space like the Raiders, Jets and Buccanneers could theoretically bring in Miller in exchange for a mid-round pick. In turn, the Texans could use both that cap space and draft picks to continue to shape their roster around Deshaun Watson.
