Lots of moves... for mostly back-end roster players and special teamers looking for an opportunity. Sadly necessary since depth is a major issue, and a switch in defensive schemes to Lovie Smith's Tampa 2 means all new personnel is needed (ugh ugh ugh). In sum, these transactions to me mostly represent the GM and coaches attempting to re-build the locker room culture.
So yes, many of these guys are going to be "Easterby types", which doesn't sound great but the reality is that departures of team leaders like Watt, McKinney, etc. leaves a power void. It's important that the Texans do have the right guys in place to bring along the young players. Several of these players have strong connections to not only Easterby/Caserio, but also David Culley, Pep Hamilton, James Campen and others.
