Texans Owner Hints at Potential Trade Deadline Moves
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Houston Texans find themselves in an intriguing position. With a playoff push on the horizon, the team is being eyed as a potential buyer in the trade market. The question on everyone’s mind is whether the Texans will make a move to enhance their roster for the second half of the season.
McNair’s Perspective on Trade Discussions
Texans owner Cal McNair recently addressed this topic, expressing a measured optimism about the possibility of acquiring new talent. While he acknowledges that discussions are ramping up across the league, he emphasized his trust in the team’s leadership. “I think with the deadline coming up, you’ll see teams start communicating more,” McNair noted. He has faith in general manager Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans to make sound decisions that could benefit the franchise.
McNair remarked, “Nick is always very active trying to make the roster better, whether it’s in February and March or here we are in November. He’s always working with coach [DeMeco Ryans], always trying to make the team better.” This confidence in the leadership team suggests that if an opportunity arises that aligns with the Texans’ strategic goals, the organization will be ready to act.
Building Momentum After a Slow Start
Despite a rocky start to the season, the Texans have shown signs of improvement, currently holding a 3-4 record. McNair highlighted the team’s recent performance, particularly after their victory over the San Francisco 49ers, which he believes has put them “in a good spot.” The focus now is on maintaining that momentum and solidifying their position as a contender in the AFC.
The upcoming trade deadline could be pivotal for the Texans as they navigate the second half of the season. With McNair’s support and the proactive approach of Caserio and Ryans, the Texans may very well look to bolster their roster in the coming days, aiming to make a significant impact as they vie for a playoff spot.
