The dream is over.
Last week Brian Gaine was fired around this same time. Today was the day the Texans were expecting to have his replacement in place. Houston interviewed Martin Mayhew and Ray Farmer, then turned their eyes on the guy they really wanted, Patriots executive of player personnel Nick Caserio.
Then the Patriots filed tampering charges because the Texans may have reached out to him before the position was open. These charges have been dropped because the Texans are no longer pursuing Caserio, as reported by John McClain.
Texans withdrawing pursuit of Caserio. Pats dropping tampering charges.

And apparently, Caserio has a clause in his contract that permits him from signing with other teams.
Seems Nick Caserio has a clause in his contract that says he can’t interview with other teams. If so, I hope he got millions for that clause.

Now what? That’s the next question. I really don’t know what. Houston may pursue New England’s director of college scouting Monti Ossenfort, or former Patriots has been Scott Pioli, or recently ruined by Jon Gruden, Reggie McKenzie. Really who knows. All we know is the Texans first option is no longer an option.
UPDATE:
Apparently, Caserio was their only option, the only man they wanted. They will not even pursue hiring a general manager. Instead Bill O’Brien and Jack Easterby will team up and run the team’s scouting department this season.
