HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans are hiring longtime Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio as their next general manager, a source told ESPN on Tuesday.
Caserio was in Houston to interview with the team earlier in the day. He was expected to fly back home to New England on Tuesday night, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Caserio, 45, has served as Patriots director of player personnel since 2008 and works alongside head coach Bill Belichick as the highest-ranked staffer in the personnel department. Since he earned that role, New England has won three Super Bowls.
