What to make of the Houston Texans second interviews with Mike Kafka & Ejiro Evero
ROUND TWO
24 January 2023
The Houston Texans have scheduled second interviews with Giants OC Mike Kafka and Broncos DC Ejiro Evero. Will the Texans hire one of those guys? And what does it mean for Jonathan Gannon, Shane Steichen, and DeMeco Ryans?
Keep in mind, Gannon, Steichen, and Ryans can't interview this week due to NFL rules. But the Texans aren't meeting with Kafka and Evero if they weren't impressed during the first round of interviews.
Be sure to check out the video above as the guys break it all down!

For the Houston Rockets, it's already been an exciting offseason, with the team trading for NBA superstar Kevin Durant earlier this week. The Rockets also inked extensions with big man Steven Adams and head coach Ime Udoka in recent weeks.
Apparently the action isn't slowing down as the Rockets have reportedly agreed to a contract extension with guard Fred VanVleet.
Senior ESPN NBA analyst Sham Charania is reporting that VanVleet intends to sign a 2-year, $50 million contract with Houston.

Charania is also reporting that VanVleet has a player option for the 2026-2027 season.
In 60 games, VanVleet averaged just over 14 points and 5.6 assists per game last season.
This is a team-friendly deal for the Rockets that gets them below the luxury tax line, helping them avoid the repeater tax. It also opens up the full $14.1 million mid-level exception to add more talent to the roster. For VanVleet, it's more total money and an extra year of security.
