And to think, just 14 months ago, the Texans had a three score lead on KC in the second round of the playoffs ...
I do not want DW4 traded, but do agree that the fastest way for the Texans to get better is to trade him and get a haul of picks/players. But does anyone have any faith that the Texans can pull off a rebuild from a draft, cap, and/or PR perspective? The Astros let people know they were tearing down and rebuilding, and stressed patience. Different leagues and cap rules, I know, but they handled it well from a PR perspective. The Texans are a PR disaster and can't stay out of their own way. As long as Easterby is involved, no one will trust that they will make the correct decisions.
At the end of the day, the NFL is a copycat, don't think outside the box league where top 5 QB's just aren't traded. So, Casserio is not going want to step out the box and do so. If DW4 is traded, it will be because of Easterby and the return likely will be insufficient.
FWIW, if one sets aside any mistrust and hatred of the organization, cutting JJ and Martin and Duke; restructuring David Johnson; and signing Britt, all are decent moves.
