No, what this is all about is trading a 4th RD pick for an over the hill, 32 year old, who hasn't played ball in 2 years, with a 2 year $7MM a year contract, who was going to get cut by the Pats regardless, is just pure bad decision making. This is just one reason of many why I don't care for Caserio's management style. He has earned my discontent after he got here, not before. All things considered I would've taken my chances at signing Cannon as a FA for less money and no dead money. Being from Texas, Cannon was ready to come home. The Texans could've still offered him $7MM as it is highly unlikely another team would for his current resume. If they don't sign him no harm no foul and the salary cap is $7MM to the good. I would've much rather had Tommy Togiai DL from OSU with that 4th RD pick. To me Togiai makes a lot more sense than trading for Cannon.
Yes, I did have low expectations of having another Belichick clerk onboard. History is definitely onboard with low expectations. All Caserio is doing since he got here is confirming my low expectations of him. He had his chance to do otherwise. It started with Culley, then trading away valuable draft capital, restructuring 5 contracts and borrowing money from the 2022 and 2023 salary caps. This is all Caserio's doing, not mine. I see Caserio's actions as being fiscally irresponsible and putting the team in weaker disadvantageous position, not better. Caserio is sending the message that he really doesn't know what he's doing and that's not my doing, that is his. And it was Bob Kraft that threw Nick Caserio under the bus for 5 years of poor drafts that caused Kraft to spend $200MM in FA to right the ship. Bob is not making this up, the five years of bad drafts was also confirmed by PFF. So it is just not me.
So just to be clear, I now see a pattern here and management will not get any better. It will get worse. It has been cursed with an absence of common sense and clear logical thinking. This is exactly what you've been saying for the last decade. Nothing has changed. Cal didn't make things better, he shot himself in his other foot is what he did. This is typical Cal. The Texans are still the same old Texans but only worse.
