HOUSTON – The Texans have restructured veteran tight end Dalton Schultz’s $36 million contract for salary-cap reasons, according to a league source.

Schultz will still make the same $11.508 million in 2025 through a simple conversion of his $11 million base salary into a signing bonus that lowered his salary-cap figure. He is still due $11 million in 2026 under the three-year extension he signed a year ago.

The Texans are under the NFL salary cap limit now, but they may restructure other deals to create more financial flexibility. Other existing deals that are candidates for potential restructures: defensive end Danielle Hunter ($11.5 million base salary) and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson ($7.75 million).
