Are they? The whole purpose of all of the restructured contracts is because the file clerk thought he put a competitive team on the field. Why else motgage the future to the tune of over $35MM? The one thing we know for sure about the file clerk, Bill Belichick would be well pleased with the Houston Texans file cabinets.
Do you really think Caserio thinks he was going to field a competitive team? Coming out of TC he was talking about the process, not about winning.

Yep that's exactly what the file clerk was thinking and what he was telling Kyle. You can't take seriously what the file clerk says publicly. The file clerk is programmed with nauseating babble and rhetoric. Caserio is Naive like that.

Duly noted on all this, but what is your take on: How many players were under contract coming into 2021 and what was the team's cap status? Is it possible this is what led to some of the maneuvering? If they had cut the dead weight (Mercilus, DJ, etc.) and not do the restructures this past off season, how would it have affected the team's ability to fill the roster for 2021.

Texans started 2021 season with 54 contracts and $6MM OVER the cap.
If the Texans had made the following moves they would've been $48MM UNDER the cap. They would not of had to resort to mortgaging the future to the tune of OVER $35MM in contract restructuring, $37MM in Dead Cap in 2021 and would've added a 2nd rd draft pick.
| B. McKinney | Release | $7.00m | |
| D. Johnson | Release | $6.90m | |
| Z. Fulton | Release | $3.00m | |
| Du. Johnson | Release | $5.15m | |
| B. Dunn | Release | $3.25m | |
| B. Cooks | Trade | $12.00m | |
| J. Watt | Release | $17.50m | |
| Total Saved | $54.80m |

What do you believe when it comes to Texans mgmt?
Cal says Caserio will be making final football decisions.
Caserio talks about the beginning of the process, not about winning this yr.
I choose to believe them, until I have reason not to believe them.

So are those savings based on their 2021 cap number + any dead money? If so it does look bad but as some have said, the assumption (by someone on Kirby) was that this team was going to be competitive...
How long would it have taken him with no QB, no round 1 or 2 draft picks and no Vikings to bail him out?

Those savings are based on the $188MM 2021 salary cap. I believe that those on Kirby are the only ones in the entire football world that believed they were going to be competitive. Therein lies the rub and the demise of this team.

Only after consulting with Mr. Easterby first. It's a group thing as you well know. It's all about the four seats at the Kirby boardroom roundtable. Cal has told YOU this on a couple of occasions.

Cal also told everyone that Watson would have a say in who the organization hired as a GM and HC……that statement didn’t exactly hold water.
He also said Caserio will be in charge of all football decisions.
Texian doesn't believe Cal's being truthful.
To each their own I guess.

When I look at pictures of Texans Draft War Room and the Texans gameday sideline, I'm beginning to wonder if Nick Caserio is Jack Easterby's spokesperson. Is Cal being truthful when he told you all football decisions would emanate from the the four seats at the Kirby boardroom roundtable?
So let me just be clear. Even though the file clerk came with highest recommendations from Jack Easterby and Bill O'Brien, and has no qualifications whatsoever in running a professional sports franchise. And he is more adept at taking orders than issuing orders. The responsibility for this 10 month fustercluck, dumpster fire, clown show, lies squarely at the feet of Cal McNair. The file clerk is only performing at a level that file clerks can perform. It's the Peter Principle in living color for all to see. Another McNair extravaganza. So all of my frustrations with the file clerk are really directed at Cal McNair. All of the bad decisions that file clerk has made were only made possible by Cal.

I certainly dont disagree with you about this being on Cal. If Cal wanted Caserio he should've paid the price and brought Caserio in 10 months ago. Cal chose not to and the rest is history. Fact is though because of Derrick's actions the Texans probably would've been in this position anyways. Regardless of who the GM/HC is/was.
File clerk making the kind of money Caserio is? (Doubtful, but if true where can I get some of this action? I will be the best darn file clerk you've ever seen.
BTW, Why was Belichick so adamant on keeping Caserio?

Sure is coming off that way.
Well, I had said since the very beginning that we don't know how much of a role Nick Caserio played in NE
But if we're looking at the draft, it's not good.
As for FAs, they only came because of Brady/Belichik.
So I don't blame anybody for not seeing Caserio as a good hire.

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth.
You want to plead - disclosure statement when you can’t prove something, but want to assert something unknown as a fact.
“No one really knows but this over here that no one knows about is a fact.”
Really?
If no one knows about his role, why do you suggest looking to see what he did in the draft?
That’s what you are posting.
What would be a subjective way of posting it?

The simple fact is the file clerk was highly recommended by Easterby and O'Brien which is about the worst recommendation a person could get. That alone guarantees complete instant failure. The one thing that made the recommendation even worse is Game Boy thinking it is a good idea to hire File Clerk as his GM. That's as BAD as it gets.
Where can you get that kind of action? It's a case of being in the right place at the right time when the mentally challenged are passing out money. It's akin to winning the lottery. It's like being the dumbest guy in high school who works as file clerk and marries the homecoming queen because she likes his car.
The truth of the matter is DW4 would be the starting QB today if Game Boy had hired just about anyone else but the File Clerk as the GM. All the weenie wiggling aside DW4 knew that 4 - 12 he just went through was only the beginning with the File Clerk as Jack Easterby's GM. This is much like Archie Manning telling San Diego that Eli would not be a Charger.
Why was Belichick adamant about keeping Caserio? Schizoid Paranoia about Patriot information getting outside of the building. Pure and Simple. As the Patriots soon discovered after File Clerk's departure, they had been in an awful terrible rut for the last decade. (Bob Kraft's own admission)
The Preacher and the File Clerk will be gone before 2025. That's not necessarily a good thing because Game Boy still has the game controller in hand. The next right decision Game Boy makes will be the first right decision he makes.

In that case, what do you think a Director of Pro Personnel does?
Does Caserio have the qualification to be a GM?
If he does, it must mean he had strong say / play a big role in the drafting process with the Pats?
If Belichik made most of the decisionS then what's good of Caserio?

File Clerk set the dinner table. Belichick picked the dinner menu based on recommendations and how the table was set. This is really not difficult to understand. I don't know why some have such difficulty understanding how Patriots dinner was made.

Seriously, do you have an honest answer?
Some of this may be true.
Fact is Bob McNair wanted to hire Caserio before Easterby was even thought about being hired and Cal followed his late daddy's wishes.
Wrong about Derrick ever playing another down for the Texans as long as the McNair's own the team. I dont care if the Pope was the GM, Derrick's fate was sealed with the McNair's. Rightfully so might I add.
Someone needs to photoshop this.

This was based on O'Brien's highest recommendation. Much like how Kubiak highly recommended Rick Smith for the job. We all know just how much we loved that decision and how that turned out. I do believe that O'Brien's recommendation will be the worst of the two.
Besides getting posted on this forum, how is that fact? Prior to his death, Bob McNair had many opportunities to hire Caserio. I've never heard or read about him wanting or putting out feelers to hire Caserio. If he wanted to hire Caserio, why didn't he?

They needed his $17.5MM for salary cap relief. It truly was a mutual parting of the ways.

Get that man a “bro!” (Seinfeld reference for you unsophisticated types.)
Thanks for the new avatar!
I don't believe it because logically it doesn't make any sense. Think about it. Bob McNair had numerous opportunities to hire Caserio. Over the years, we heard of Smith being promoted to another front office position and hiring another GM. So, even if he didn't want to fire Smith, he could have promoted him to EVP of football ops and hired Caserio as GM.
To this day, Caserio has never mentioned Bob McNair or given any indication that McNair ever showed any interest in him. I'm going to call this as BS.
