Just hours after the announcement of the NFL suspending the Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair for 3 games. Their management is not willing to accept the NFL’s judgment. Starting with their GM Nick Caserio, Houston has publicly called out the NFL’s Vice President of Football Operations, Jon Runyan. His letter to Al-Shaair didn’t sit right with Caserio, as he threw expletives at their way of designing the punishment.

Speaking to the reporters, Caserio didn’t mince his words and called Runyan’s letter, “Quite frankly, it’s b——-.” Well, those weren’t the only words Caserio spoke trying to offer his views about the NFL’s decision to suspend their linebacker. He simply went on a rampage by pointing out big issues that the NFL must sort out in their way of delivering justice.

He starts off by pointing out the biggest issue in that letter, which doesn’t sit well within the organization, “I think one of the biggest issues that we sort of take umbrage with is. I would say as a team and an organizationally is the picture that has been painted about Azeez.” Caserio could be referring to part of the letter where Runyan wrote, “Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL.”

However, Caserio was in total disagreement with the NFL’s statement about Azeez. Instead, he praised the 27-year-old for his commitment to the program, “Nobody embodies our program more than Azeez. What he’s about, what he’s been through. You all know his story. There is not a more selfless individual, more about the team, who has earned the respect that represents everything that we want this program to be about.”

But looking at his history of fines, it doesn’t seem like Azeez has been learning any lessons until now. And even after getting punished, he instantly appealed the decision.

Azeez Al-Shaair challenges NFL’s suspension amid history of violent conducts

There was a section within Runyan’s letter to Azeez Al-Shaair that read, “Your continued disregard for NFL playing rules puts the health and safety of both you and your opponents in jeopardy and will not be tolerated.” This wasn’t the only time in Jacksonville that Azeez has been flagged and fined for dangerous tackles this season.

Just go back to week 2; Azeez was captured punching Bears running back Roschon Johnson in a sideline tussle. Although he received a $11,817 fine for that unsportsmanlike conduct, he didn’t learn his lesson. Within a gap of 10 weeks, Azeez was fined again, this time for pushing Titans RB Tony Pollard out of the bounds. Now, this landed him a $11,255 fine while taking us to our current incident involving the Texans LB.

But unlike each of those incidents, Azeez, this time, decided to issue an apology moments after controversy broke out regarding the violent nature of the tackle. Taking to X, Al-Shaair wrote, “I would never want to see any player hurt because of a hit. I put on them especially one that’s deemed ‘late’ or ‘unnecessary.'” Seeing that his apology didn’t work while the NFL put him on a 3-game suspension. Azeez has opted for retaliation. As per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Al-Shaair will appeal this suspension in front of officers appointed by the league.

And if that appeal doesn’t work, then the Texans fans could see him return only when they take on the Titans in week 17. He will sit out the Texans’ high-profile clashes against the Dolphins, Chiefs and Ravens in the following weeks.
