Rashad Butler in line for big payday

Texans LT Rashad Butler will be in line for a big payday if he excels in replacing suspended starting LT Duane Brown.

Butler signed a one-year $1.176 million tender this offseason, and would become an unrestricted free agent this offseason under the new collective-bargaining agreement. Butler joins fellow Miami alumni RT Eric Winston and C Chris Myers on the Texans' offensive line in a tough matchup against DeMarcus Ware and the Cowboys' defense in an important Week 3 game.

Butler, who made his first NFL start in place of suspended Duane Brown, was obviously overmatched against the perennial All-Pro. But Butler wasn’t to blame for any of Ware’s three sacks. He was only beat on one of them, and quarterback Matt Schaub held the ball too long on that play. Houston inexplicably left a tight end alone on Ware on another of his sacks.
