re: Deshaun Watson for Tua and additional compensation?

I think the majority of the issues is that Jack Easterby is running the show, and the only person that likes him is the owner.

Supposedly they were set to hire the Steelers’ Omar Khan and Easterby & Caserio/Easterbys agent got in Cal’a ear and talked him out of it.

From the ESPN article:

Khan and ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick, who are both minority candidates, were the two finalists before Texans owner Cal McNair changed his mind, ignored the recommendation of the search firm he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do weeks of work and hired former New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, sources said. Multiple people in the Texans organization, including quarterback Deshaun Watson, were upset with how Houston's search took a sudden and unexpected turn, hiring a man that Korn Ferry did not include on its list of candidates. Watson is said to be furious over the decision, and others are as well, with some saying that there will be employees who wind up leaving the organization during the offseason.
