ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Penn State HC Bill O’Brien had his contract amended, which reduced the price of an NFL buyout from $19.33 million to $6.48 million.
Schefter adds that a Penn State official informed him that O’Brien’s rep even approached the school about further reducing his NFL buyout.
O’Brien was a popular name last year and that was after a tumultuous first year at State College. The Texans reportedly have him on their list of targets for their current head coaching vacancy and that list is likely to grow even further in the coming weeks as more jobs are available.
