So how did the boldest draft-day trade in Texans history go down? Houston general manager Nick Caserio peeled back the curtain a bit while speaking with the media Thursday night at NRG Stadium.
Caserio revealed "the trade itself was actually consummated with about a minute and a half left on the clock." He also touched on the hectic nature of the situation, from the back-and-forth talks with Arizona while finalizing the deal, to communicating with the league office to make it official.
