It's Time For a Cappy Hour| Why Nick Caserio Must Go ALL IN on the Offense

On today’s Locked On Texans, we ask the big question: What do the numbers say about the Houston Texans’ future? The salary cap situation is about to open WIDE up. Houston has major opportunities to create cap relief through restructures — and thanks to Nick Caserio’s contract structure (six of seven major deals on 3-year terms), the Texans have real flexibility. But here’s the truth: that money MUST be invested in the offense. According to Over The Cap’s Offensive Spending vs. Output (2025), Houston had a low cap hit and a BAD offense, finishing with a -0.02 EPA per play. The only teams worse in that low-spend/low-output category? The Saints, Jets, Raiders, and Titans. That’s not company you want to keep. This puts two things in perspective: 1️⃣ Just how dominant Houston’s defense really was in 2025 2️⃣ Why the Texans can’t operate like this anymore Should Houston go all in? YES. The risk is NOT greater than the reward. This team is too close to getting over the hump to play conservative. Plus — Ear to the Streets: What are Texans fans talking about TODAY?
