Breaking: Texans have found their new GM

The Houston Texans will reportedly hire Brian Gaine as its new general manager.

He will replace Rick Smith, who has taken a year-long leave of absence.

Gaine joined the Bills this offseason as vice president of player personnel.

Though the Texans cast a wide net, Gaine was the favorite from the start.

He previously worked in Houston from 2014-16, the last two of those seasons as director of player personnel. He has a good relationship with coach Bill O’Brien.
