Releasing Fulton clears up $3.75 million in space for the Texans.
Fulton, 29, is a former sixth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2014. He played out his rookie contract with Kansas City before agreeing to a four-year, $28 million contract that included $13 million guaranteed with the Texans back in 2018.
Fulton agreed to a pay cut ahead of the 2020 season that guaranteed him $5 million in 2020 and dropped his 2021 base salary to $3 million.
