Jamey Rootes has resigned as president of the Houston Texans. 

Rootes oversaw the business and administrative side of the organization that became one of the most successful in professional sports, selling out every game at NRG Stadium from 2002 through 2019 before COVID-19 forced limited ticket sales last season.

“I think the organization is in a great place from a business perspective,” Rootes said Wednesday morning. “We’ve got a great leadership team. I thought the time was right for me to do something different.

“I’m young enough to find a new opportunity to create something new.”
