The Facts:
Schaub, whose trade to the Texans will be officially announced today, has signed a six-year contract worth $48 million, including $7 million guaranteed. He will make $20 million over the first three years. If the Texans want to keep Schaub for the last three years of the deal, they will pay him the $10 million option bonus in March 2010.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Chronicle staffer John McClain noted, the Texans wanted Schaub bad enough to pay a heavy price. In addition to swapping first-rounders and sending Atlanta a second-round pick this year and next, the price also includes the $8 million option bonus paid to David Carr last March. ... Obviously, Gary Kubiak, general manager Rick Smith and owner Bob McNair believe Schaub will be worth it.
