Following discussions regarding a potential trade, Deshaun Watson will remain with the Houston Texans until the next offseason, NFL league sources have revealed. This news came just two days before the NFL’s trade deadline.
While faced with much opposition by those who wished to see Watson’s departure from the team, Texans general manager Nick Caserio has remained intent on only parting ways with the player upon receiving a deal that he believes reflects Watson’s true worth. The Texans are, however, reportedly open to resuming trade negotiations during the next offseason.
Texans owner Cal McNair would ideally like to see Watson traded before Tuesday’s deadline, however, he resolved to leave Caserio with the discretion to make a final decision.
Watson had been linked with potential moves to several teams during the offseason, including the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers. While Watson desired a place in the Dolphins’ team, Miami stated that he would have to resolve his ongoing legal issues before a move could be sealed. Watson also reportedly waived his no-trade clause for the Dolphins and is believed to not have done the same for the Panthers.
