Best way to handle this is to pick one star WR, do a $$$ investigation of his gloves, and then suspend him 4 games.
After years of letting gloves get stickier right under its nose, NFL may now look at whether they're too sticky

I don’t blame him. Cal McNair ruined the Texans roster, cap, ran off good personnel, wouldn’t listen to anyone other than Jack Easterby, and blew off all complaints about him. Cal McNair chose Easterby over Watson, and it was extraordinarily stupid, sad, ugly and disrespectful.
Deshaun Watson hasn’t spoken to new Texans general manager Nick Caserio nor executive Jack Easterby. Watson is moving on and waiting to see where his NFL future takes him.

Young people don’t get it other than basic troll face stuff or vintage costuming. The move ruined careers. It hurt people. Last time I saw Bum give a speech, it was about the special connection the Earl teams had with Houston. In the context of today, this is dishonorable.

Respectfully, the Texans party? Cal McNair trusted an incompetent person to be head of football ops, then GM. He rewarded poor work by giving Easterby a key role its future and ran an odd GM/HC search despite having most of a season for a fresh start.
I feel bad for all of us.
Talk about spoiling Texans party with new coach hire, it’s leaking to national media by people close to Watson he’s made an official trade request. I feel bad for new coach David Culley on what should be best day of his career.

Who has O’Brien not had friction with? If you have trouble with lots of people around you, maybe it is you.
As shocking on the surface and unpopular as the DeAndre Hopkins trade is, multiple sources noted throughout past year that friction existed between him and Bill O'Brien that could ultimately lead to his exit. And it did today. How they pivot from this will be interesting

The main issue is Cal McNair has made it clear by actions/words he cares more about Jack Easterby than anyone else: More than players, longtime people who are trying to look out for the team and his interests, staff, fans, $, winning. Makes you question his judgment in his role.
One league source connected to the Texans' HC situation said Saturday: "It's gone from the least desirable head coaching job to the most undesirable head coaching job in the NFL. That's a fact. That's how that job is now looked at by everybody."

Nothing like being "honest and forthright" and "doing the best for the Houston Texans" while rewarding Easterby with an "important role" in the franchise despite reports that "the vast majority of the franchise (85-90%) did not trust the person brought in to improve the culture"

This is extreme understatement. I’ve watched the Texans closely since before they had a name, wrote about them since 2006. Most bizarre NFL story ever. By words and deeds, Cal McNair cares about Jack Easterby over everyone. Everyone has to work around that or leave or get fired.
Last week the Texans dismissed director of football administration Kevin Kracjcovic and equipment manager Mike Parson and his staff, amongst others. The organization is being remade and many around the league, including people there, are wondering if it is for the better.
