Packers Interested In Trading For Will Fuller

Oct 28, 2020 1:34 PM

The Green Bay Packers have expressed interest in trading for Will Fuller of the Houston Texans.

No deal is imminent at this time as the Texans aren't interested in conducting a fire sale. 

Fuller has impressive per game numbers at wide receiver but has struggled to stay healthy since entering the NFL in 2016.

The NFL trade deadline is on Nov. 3.

Jack Easterby Will Serve As Houston's GM For Remainder Of Season

Oct 8, 2020 9:02 AM

Houston Texans executive vice president of football operations Jack Easterby will handle general manager duties for the rest of the season.

"We will start a search for the head coach and a GM on a permanent basis," owner Cal McNair said. "And at that time, Jack [Easterby] will switch back to the job he had before, which is in football ops."

McNair, who fired head coach and general manager Bill O'Brien on Monday after the team got off to an 0-4 start, said he plans to go back to the way the franchise has been "structured traditionally," with the roles of head coach and general manager held by separate people.

Bill O'Brien On Job Security: All I Can Control Is What I Can Control

Oct 5, 2020 1:51 PM

The Houston Texans have fallen to 0-4, which has led to speculation about the job security of Bill O'Brien. O'Brien controls the roster and the schemes they run on the field.

“After the game, I try to keep that stuff between me and the team,” O’Brien said, via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. “I don’t have any control [over job security]. All I can control is what I can control.”

A report before their loss to the Vikings on Sunday indicated O’Brien was taking on a bigger role after ceding duties to offensive coordinator Tim Kelly in the offseason.
