I dunno what your problem with Casserio is, but you sure seem to enjoy ragging on him at every opportunity.
I'm just thankful, very thankful that we got rid of O'Brien and have somebody in here now who's got some bona fide experience
in the management of an NFL franchise.
I dunno what your problem with Caserio is, you asked? Well since you asked....
Caserio FUBARS Extraordinaire:
1/7 - Texans hire Nick Caserio.
Jan thru Apr Caserio refuses to take calls from any teams about Deshaun Watson
1/27 - Caserio hires David Culley first opening, last hire. Caserio's first hire is the worst HC hire in 2021.
3/2 - Resigns David Johnson to a $6MM contract
3/11 - Caserio restructures Cooks contract. borrows $2.5MM from 2022, 2023, 2024 ($7.5MM).
Restructure also cancels last year of contract. Cooks contract now expires after 2022 season.
3/20 -Caserio restructures Tunsil contract. By borrowing $10MM from future caps ($5MM 2022; $5MM 2023)

3/30 - Caserio restructures Cunningham 4 year contract.Borrows $5.6MM from 2022, 2023, 2024. Likely cut/traded before 2022 season.
4/29 - NFL Draft. Caserio uses (8) 2021 draft picks and (2) 2022 draft picks to draft (5) players.
7/26 - Caserio trades for Anthony Miller. 10/6 - Caserio cuts Miller
9/9 - Caserio trades Roby to Saints, restructuring contract to eat $8.9MM in salary ($4.8MM in 2022). Value of 2nd rd pick, only gets a 3rd rd pick.
Nick Caserio has created over $37MM in 2021 dead cap money. As a result Caserio had to restructure (5) contracts to create over $35MM in order to sign a bunch of over 30 year olds to 1 year contracts in order to fill the roster.
Caserio has already created over $15MM in dead cap in 2022. Additionally reduced the 2022 salary cap by another $10MM+ from restructuring. 2022 dead cap money needed to trade Watson $16MM, to trade/cut Cunningham $12MM. $15MM + $10MM + $26MM =
Caserio responsible for $51MM in reduction of 2022 salary cap.
Texans only have 27 players under contract in 2022, that's 10 players less than the avg team.
