Texans: More bad news on the Jack Easterby front
By Cory Kinnan
As the Houston Texans looks to shift their culture to that of a positive one, many hoped it would mean the end of the reign of Executive Vice President Jack Easterby. However, after he usurped power from the search committee and had a huge say in the hiring of Nick Caserio, it appears the opposite will be true.
In fact, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that Easterby will now get more power, and not less within the organization. As Easterby continues to undermine his way to the top, the EVP will now have his hand in the personnel side of things as well. This is anything but good news for the fanbase of the Texans.
From a team intern, to chaplain, now to EVP with his hands on the roster, the reign of Easterby continues to grow.
What could this mean for Texans?

As laid out by Sports Illustrated, Easterby was instrumental in the trade of star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins next season. It appears that Easterby has no issue shipping out players who make their worries public knowledge. And the worst problem of all? Cal McNair enables every bit of it. This does not exactly bode well for the future of superstar Deshaun Watson if Easterby will, in fact, get a role on the personnel side of things.
Houston, however, could look to hire the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs Eric Bieniemy to try to smooth things over with Watson. However, giving Easterby more power puts another massive question mark over the future of the organization.

There is only one way this could end, and a predictable one. For now, however, we just have to sit back and watch it all unfold helplessly. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst, Houston continues to have an Easterby issue.
