What was rumored last night...
...has become fact this afternoon.
#Texans hired former #Colts VP of Football Operations Jimmy Raye III as their assistant GM, source said. Only the 7th assistant GM in @NFL.

Although Raye was presumably hired to replace the departed Brian Gaine, it’s interesting to note that Raye’s title in Houston is “Assistant General Manager” while Gaine’s was “Director of Pro Player Personnel.” Whether the Texans hire or promote someone to Gaine’s old job, or whether Raye simply has subsumed the same duties under a new description, remains to be seen.
