Caserio signed 6 years $30 million. I don't think any Texans player is under contract that long? Easy to understand the player perspective since it resembles the fans, but they're obviously living it; their lives depend upon where they work.

Something will change - - the team will hire a new head coach, and from that, the rest of the staff will be determined.

The players play for the coach, not the GM. So hopefully the new head coach will mend some of those hurt feelings.

Can't think of a worse time though to be a fan of this franchise.

That is my hope too. Any pissed off feelings will hopefully blow over as long as the right HC is brought in (that is truly a Caserio hire) and Caserio/the new HC set the culture.
