Report: Ryan Mallett files for termination pay from Texans

No longer employed by the Houston Texans, Ryan Mallett has reportedly filed for termination pay from his former team.

The Texans terminated Mallett's two-year, $7.005-million contract in October after he missed a team flight for a road game in Miami. He was eligible for $1.47 million in termination pay for the remainder of his Paragraph 5 base salary under the NFL collective bargaining agreement, and he's elected to file for it, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Mallett's already been paid $1.029 million by the Texans for the first seven weeks of the season, along with $437,500 in per-game active roster bonuses.

In six games with the Texans this season, including four starts, Mallett completed 120-of-226 passes for 1,187 yards, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions.
