The offseason has officially begun for 20 of the NFL's 32 teams, which means decisions on free agency are looming. Thanks to Over The Cap, here's a complete list of the current players on the Houston Texans' roster who are scheduled to become free agents in March. Note that these players are not ranked by value to the team; OTC ranked 'em by average salary per year under their current contracts (which are expiring, naturally).

2. Brooks Reed (OLB)--Unrestricted Free Agent
3. Ryan Pickett (NT)--Unrestricted Free Agent
