The likelihood of Nick Caserio staying with the New England Patriots in 2020 has increased.
Rumors floated around last summer that Caserio was prepared to depart from New England and take a general manager position with the Houston Texans. The situation got messy and Caserio remained as the Patriots’ director of player personnel.
Houston went into 2019 without a general manager, and they still haven’t filled the position. But, it looks like they’re sticking with the same recipe and keeping the group that they have currently, according the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson.
The report also said that former Patriots character coach Jack Easterby will continue in his de facto assistant general manager role.

Similar to Josh McDaniels, the likelihood of Caserio staying with the Patriots has dramatically increased. McDaniels and Caserio play fundamental roles in the organization and New England will be a lot better off with them in the mix.
