Houston Texans’ general manager Nick Caserio won’t be leaving the franchise anytime soon. Caserio made this clear while addressing the rumors about his potential departure during Monday’s press conference.
There were reports in recent weeks that the Texans might shake up their front office after the 2023 NFL Draft. The changes would reportedly include Caserio stepping down from his position and returning to the New England Patriots, where he served in various front office roles for 20 seasons.
“Quite frankly, I’m almost embarrassed I have to. I feel sort of like Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Wolf of Wall Street.’ I’m not leaving,” Caserio told reporters. “There’s never really been any substantive discussions of the sort.”
Nick Caserio was hired by the Texans after the 2020 NFL season as part of the franchise’s efforts to return to contender status. Since then, Caserio started a painful rebuild that included a 7-26-1 record in the past two seasons and saw three coaching changes.
There is a sense of optimism around the Texans, however, considering they have a second overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft that will allow them to take one of the top college quarterbacks. Also, the team hired former San Francisco defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans as their new head coach. Ryans is a former Texans player and is highly respected among his peers for his coaching acumen.
