He started with the Redskins in 1977 as an unpaid intern under Hall of Fame coach, George Allen. Washington hired him as a scout the next season. During his early years as a scout, Charley unearthed free agents Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic, who were original members of the famed “Hogs” offensive line and key components of Washington’s first two Super Bowl teams.
Jacoby was selected to four Pro Bowls and Bostic made one trip to Honolulu the Redskins elevated Charley to Assistant General Manager in 1982 and the club went on to capture its first Super Bowl.

Charley Casserly Houston Texans
Charley took on the General Manager role for the expansion of Houston Texans after leaving the Redskins. In the 2002 NFL Draft, he drafted David Carr, Jabar Gaffney, Chester Pitts, and Fred Weary.
For his remaining drafts for the Texans, (2003 through 2006), the Texans drafted five eventual Pro-Bowlers: Andre Johnson (WR, 2003), Jerome Mathis (KR, 2005), DeMeco Ryans (LB, 2006), Mario Williams (DE, 2006) and Owen Daniels (TE 2006). DeMeco Ryans was also named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2006. Mario Williams, who many criticized for being the #1 overall pick in 2006 (behind college standouts Reggie Bush and Vince Young), made the Pro Bowl in the 2008 season.
During his tenure as general manager, the Texans went 4–12 in their inaugural season of 2002, then improved to 5–11 in 2003 and 7–9 in 2004 before slumping to a disappointing 2–14 record in 2005. During the 2005 season, while the Texans were 1–12, team owner Bob McNair hired former NFL coach Dan Reeves to serve as a consultant to help McNair evaluate his team. After the end of the season, head coach Dom Capers was fired by McNair.
Charley was criticized for a number of personnel moves, including trading second and third-round picks to the Oakland Raiders for Phillip Buchanon in 2005. Phillip Buchanon was a poor player for the Texans in 2005 and was released by the team after the first four games of the 2006 season. In a public interview, McNair criticized the trade for Buchanon, saying that the front office had not done its homework.
