Nick Caserio is staying with the New England
Patriots as the Texans withdrew their request Friday to
interview Bill Belichick's right-hand man for the vacant general
manager post in Houston.
New England, in turn, dropped tampering charges, according to
multiple media reports.
The Texans formally requested permission to interview Caserio,
just as they did in January 2018, when the Patriots denied the
request and the Texans moved on to hire Brian Gaine, who was
fired on June 7.
Caserio, 43, has held his position since 2008 as the top
personnel man for Belichick, who has final authority on
personnel decisions.
--Former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow II will be retried in San
Diego County on eight charges that left jurors deadlocked
earlier this week.
On Monday, Winslow was found guilty of one count of felony rape
as well as misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and lewd
conduct, and he was acquitted on another lewd-conduct charge.
The jury, however, couldn't agree on the other eight charges,
which included six felony counts, and Judge Blaine K. Bowman
declared a mistrial. The new trial is scheduled to begin on
Sept. 30.
--A day after the Patriots announced they acquired tight end
Michael Roberts from Detroit, the Lions tweeted that Roberts
"reverted back to the team's roster, per trade conditions" and
subsequently was released.
Roberts, entering his third season, was a fourth-round pick out
of Toledo in 2017. The 25-year-old has 13 receptions and three
touchdowns in 23 career games.
--Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers was suspended for one
game without pay due to a violation of the NFL's policy on
substance abuse.
The discipline is related to Gathers' arrest on Aug. 31 in
Frisco, Texas, on suspicion of marijuana possession. He pleaded
guilty to a misdemeanor in March and avoided jail time.
