Houston Texans president Jamey Rootes has resigned after more than 20 years, the team’s latest move in an off-season of upheaval. Rootes was hired in 2000 as the Texans began preparations for their expansion season in 2002. The Texans also face uncertainty on the field with star quarterback Deshaun Watson requesting a trade last month. While with the Texans, Rootes created Lone Star Sports and Entertainment and served as its president. I want to thank my teammates as we could not have had so many successes without their hard work and dedication to the team,“ he said.
