  • • Texans reportedly not planning to hire a new GM for 2020-21 season
    Though the Texans failed in their efforts to hire Patriots executive Nick Caserio as their general manager this spring, recent reports indicated that Houston — which has operated without a GM in 2019 — would simply hire Caserio in 2020, when his contract with New England is up.
