Amid the considerable changes to the Texans’ setup this offseason, they will move on from their punter of the past two years. The Texans are releasing Bryan Anger, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).
Anger, who signed with Houston during Bill O’Brien‘s short but memorable stay as GM, has played nine NFL seasons. The team will save just more than $2MM in cap space by moving on.
Known primarily for being a former third-round pick, with the Jaguars having taken him in 2012, Anger has played in Jacksonville, Tampa and Houston. He cleared 46 yards per punt in each of his two seasons with the Texans.
Too much anger surrounding that franchise for him to survive.
Isn’t 46 yards per punt pretty impressive? Not sure this is smart money being saved.
That was due to bad management
Anger management?
It isn’t enough to have havoc in the QB room? Do the Texans really need trouble on special teams too right now?
He is a good punter.
