Latest contract details:
Texans released QB Matt Leinart.
The move clears $1.75 million in salary. Leinart spent two seasons with the Texans, but only made it into two games. He became expendable following 2011 rookie T.J. Yates' late-season emergence as Matt Schaub's long-term backup. Leinart drew little interest from old college coach Pete Carroll in free agency last year. It might be time for him to take up another profession.
