Nick Caserio is officially a member of the Houston Texans as their general manager.
The former Patriots director of player personnel officially signed his contract Wednesday and according to ESPN's Adam Schefter it's a big one. The deal is for six years and makes him one of the three highest-paid GMs in the league.
Six years is a lot of years, but not all that surprising given the issues Houston has with the salary cap and draft capital, so job security was likely needed. But the money is a bit surprising considering he's a first time general manager and looking at the Patriots' recent personnel moves, they have been less than.
Caserio is one of the hardest working personnel men in the league, so he deserves to be paid, it's just maybe a stretch to immediately put him among the top three in the NFL.
Meanwhile, New England will certainly have its work cut out in terms of replacing him.
