After a comprehensive search of some top options to run Houston's new offense, the Texans have made a decision.
According to reports, the Texans are hiring Rams pass game coordinator/tight ends coach Nick Caley.
Caley has spent the last two seasons with the Rams, and seven years as a Patriots assistant prior to that.

Though this decision was reportedly DeMeco Ryans' to make, it clearly didn't hurt that Caley's time with the Patriots overlapped GM Nick Caserio's tenure in New England.
Caley's experience with the Patriots and Rams' systems should give him the ability to run a complex offense to help CJ Stroud get back on track in 2025.

Houston Texans eye rare opportunity with Pro Bowl talent up for grabs

With the Texans suffering so many injuries at the receiver position last year, they have to make WR a priority this offseason. Rams WR Cooper Kupp is on the trading block and the Texans just hired former Rams pass game coordinator/TEs coach Nick Caley as OC.
Would Kupp be a perfect fit for the Texans (already knowing the Rams playbook), or should the team be concerned about his age and injury history?
Plus, what should the Texans do with Stefon Diggs?
