The decision will spare the Texans a guaranteed
$10.24 million for the 2021 season, ESPN reported on Thursday.
Conley, who is slated to make $1.892 million in 2020, per
Spotrac, was acquired by Houston from the then-Oakland Raiders
in October for a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Conley, 24, had 50 tackles, one interception and 13 passes
defensed in 14 games last season with the Raiders and Texans. He
has notched 94 tackles and four interceptions in 31 career games
since being selected by the Raiders with the 24th overall pick
in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Conley is expected to serve as a starting cornerback this season
for Houston, which saw two-time Pro Bowl selection Johnathan
Joseph sign a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans on
Wednesday.
Penn State cornerback John Reid was selected in the fourth round
of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Texans, who ranked 28th in the
league in total yards allowed and 29th against the pass.
