Arian Foster salary + $525,000

Arian Foster salary + $525,000, Arian Foster will play the 2011 NFL season under an exclusive rights free agent tag, which is the NFL's version of an indentured servant. No other teams can negotiate with him, meaning he has no real option other than playing for the league minimum.
Foster led the league in rushing yards (1,616), yards from scrimmage (2,220) and rushing TDs (16) last season.

Having a First-Team All-Pro at a skilled position playing for the league minimum is a huge coup for the Texans. However, they might want to avoid the Chris Johnson situation and offer Foster some security. They would be risking Foster's ability to duplicate his performance, but it seems to be a solid gamble.
