Report: 49ers' Mayhew interviewing for Texans' GM vacancy
San Francisco 49ers vice president of player personnel Martin Mayhew is interviewing to replace Brain Gaine as the Houston Texans' general manager, sources told Fox Sports' Peter Schrager on Sunday.
The Texans relieved Gaine of his duties on Friday after he was with the team for only one season.
Mayhew served as the Detriot Lions' general manager from 2008 to 2015. He joined the 49ers' front office in 2017.
Houston also interviewed former Cleveland Browns GM Ray Farmer on Saturday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
The Texans' list of candidates is long, and it includes New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, former Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie, and former Chiefs GM and former Falcons assistant GM Scott Pioli, according to the Houston Chronicle's John McClain.
Houston targeted Caserio last year before Gaine was hired, but the Patriots blocked the Texans from meeting with him, according to McClain. Head coach Bill O'Brien and Caserio reportedly have a good rapport.
Houston finished the 2018 season with an 11-5 record and lost in the opening round of the playoffs to the Indianapolis Colts.
