Why it's important the Texans get back to a healthy percentage of homegrown players
His fellow NFL general managers would tell the Texans' Nick Caserio it's imperative to find a franchise quarterback.INDIANAPOLIS — The Houston Texans could have easily called themselves the Houston Mercenaries during the last two seasons of general manager Nick Caserio’s rebuild.
A substantial disparity is revealed when analyzing the Texans’ roster. Drafted players accounted for only 30.2 percent of the team’s total snap shares in 2022, a metric even more telling when it’s considered that only 17 of the 74 Texans players who logged a snap last season were drafted by the franchise.
Once the Texans return to harboring a healthy number of homegrown players, Caserio will reap both the benefits of rookie contracts and their complications. Take a first-round player like cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., whom the Texans selected No. 3 overall in 2022. He’ll carry a $7.8 million cap hit this season, according to Over the Cap, which ranks fifth-highest on the team. But that’s still less than half the average annual price of the top-five cornerback salaries in the league .
“There’s no wrong or right way,” said Adofo-Mensah, who joined the Vikings in 2022 after spending two seasons as vice president of football operations with the Browns. “I think you obviously want to make sure you build in the draft, because the access to the best players, the players with the ceilings, is typically in the draft. Free agency does happen, and there are some players that shake free in free agency. But now, every team wants that guy. Now it’s a competitive market.
