The last time we talked about the whole Houston Texans GM fiasco we were lampooning the Texans for their firing of a general manager after two seasons in charge, failing to find a suitable replacement, and almost getting hit with tampering charges before finally relenting and handing control over to to a head coach, who, of course, has done exceptionally little to deserve all this power aside from winning internal front office battles with his general managers.
However, at the center of this fiasco was a story about a very special relationship gone awry between the Texans’ executive vice president of team development Jack Easterby, and his former employers the New England Patriots.
