Texans GM Sounds Off on Controversial Offseason Decision

When looking at the biggest move of the Houston Texans' offseason so far, many would likely point to the team's daring decision to trade away long-time star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a bevy of draft assets.

It's a blockbuster move that ended up catching a few off-guard. As the Texans currently deal with their own offensive line issues from last season, pivoting off the best contributor on the front lines was certainly a strong statement to make in their efforts to try and improve their group for the year ahead.

Of course, the Texans have been met with a bit of criticism being dealt their way as a result, but it's something general manager Nick Caserio seemingly remains fully confident in.

During an interview with SportsRadio 610, Caserio dove into his and the front office's rationale behind Houston's blockbuster move to ship off Tunsil.

“In the Laremy [Tunsil] situation, that was something we weren’t certainly intent on doing, or that we were motivated to do. I think when we just looked at the situation, we felt that it was an opportunity in front of us that made sense. Washington had a need, and then we consummated a trade, and ultimately we felt like that was the best decision for the Texans at that particular time."
