Deshaun Watson Request To Be Traded (Pursue?)
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2021 12:36 am
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Deshaun Watson requested a trade before the team hired David Culley as their head coach.
Rapoport said Watson's trade request came last week, though it became public on Wednesday via a tweet from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Watson's relationship with the organization was irreparably damaged when he was not consulted on the hiring of new general manager Nick Caserio. He reportedly found out about the hire the same way we did: on Twitter. Watson, 25, is now in control of where he'll play in 2021, with Robert Saleh's Jets emerging as the front runner. If the Texans play hardball with Watson, they can fine him $95,877 for missing minicamp and $50,000 for each day of training camp he misses. Probably it won't come to that.
