Patriots File Tampering Charges on Texans Over Nick Caserio The league will open an investigation br against the Houston Texans. The Texans are reportedly interested in hiring br Nick Caserio as their general manager. Caserio has been the New England Patriots br director of player personnel since 2008. Houston fired their general manager, Brian Gaine, on June 7, one day after New England's br Super Bowl ring ceremony. The Texans EVP of team development, br Jack Easterby, attended the ceremony br along with Caserio. Easterby, the former Patriots development br director, was hired this offseason by the Texans. If Houston still wants to hire Caserio, br one potential solution could be to br surrender a draft pick to the Patriots.
