NFL to vote on Cal McNair becoming Houston Texans majority owner

At next week's NFL meetings, league owners are expected to vote on approving Texans CEO/chair Cal McNair as the new principal owner of the franchise, a source with knowledge of the vote told the Chronicle on Thursday. Janice McNair has been the Texans' principal owner since November 2018, after her husband Bob McNair died from cancer. She is one of 10 women who are principal owners of NFL teams. But Cal McNair, Janice’s youngest son, has run the day-to-day football operations and acted on her behalf in meetings in recent years. Becoming the principal owner makes him the official representative for the franchise. The source added that the team is not for sale and that it was Janice’s decision to make Cal McNair principal owner. If approved, Cal McNair would continue to run the Texans as he has the past 5½ years.
