Texans hire ex-Patriots staffer Steve Cargile as senior personnel executive

The Houston Texans have made another hire.

The Houston Texans are adding a few new names to the front office.

According to KPRC2 Sports, the Texans have hired former New England Patriots director of pro scouting Steve Cargile as a senior personnel executive and assistant director of pro scouting.

Internally, Houston also has promoted DJ Debick to director of pro scouting as the replacement for the director of pro scouting Ronnie McGill, who wasn’t expected to return following the 2023 season.

Cargile played 16 games in the NFL at safety between five teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, and Cleveland Browns after going undrafted out of Columbia. He spent time under Caserio and Bill Belichick in New England before a position shift this offseason with the latter’s departure.

Debick, a fellow John Carroll alum like Caserio, first met the Texans general manager when hired as a scouting assistant in 2016 in New England. He was promoted to area scout in 2018 and followed Caserio to Houston in 2022.

Prior to his promotion, Debick served as the Texans’ assistant director of pro scouting.

The Texans return to NRG Stadium for the start of NFL training camp on July 18.
