Deshaun Watson is unhappy in Houston. The three-time Pro Bowler has officially requested a switch and has no plans to play for the Texans again, according to NBC analyst Chris Simms.
“I was led to believe that – that there is no way Deshaun Watson will play for the Houston Texans again,” Simms told PFT Live on Monday. “Someone I trust told me that ‘Deshaun Watson will never play for the Houston Texans again and is willing to stay out of football this year, if necessary’. That’s when I was led to understand this situation and where it is now, and as I said, it’s someone I trust a lot. “
Texas general manager Nick Caserio said the team has no “zero interest” in dealing with Watson.
Meanwhile, former Bengals and Cardinals defender Carson Palmer believes Watson should “stand his ground”.
There is no negotiation deadline to worry about in the off-season, but the NFL Draft, which starts on April 29, looks like an invisible deadline that both Watson and Texans need to keep in mind.
If they are going to trade it for Jets, Dolphins, Panthers, 49ers or any other team, then a deal would have to happen before or during the draft. Texans would want several choices in this year’s NFL Draft if they moved their franchise star.
Watson and the Texans are looking at each other, waiting to see which one blinks first. It doesn’t look like the star defender will change his mind anytime soon.
