Watson says he has been trying to be patient throughout the past few weeks

The relationship between franchise quarterback and team is fractured. Heres where Watson could land, what deal it will take to get him, and what Houston does next.

Even if a trade demand is made, with Watson willing to waive his no-trade clause, the asking price will be unprecedented.

Jan 18, 2021 Maybe, just maybe, things are trending in the right direction for the Houston Texans. On Monday, they announced that they had concluded interviews for their vacant head coaching position with Eric Bieniemy of the Kansas City Chiefs, Leslie Frazier of the Buffalo Bills, Matt Eberflus of the Indianapolis Colts, and David Culley of the Baltimore Ravens.  Of those four, the biggest name is of course Bieniemy, who is currently serving as the offensive coordinator at Arrowhead Stadium. ...

Although Watson has yet to officially request a trade from the Texans, our SI crew is all over the realities and the mess made by Houston management here, and it seems a real possibility the disgruntled quarterback, pushed by incompetent and dishonest management, has played his last snap for the team that drafted him No. 12 overall in 2017. This buzz has given rise to the oddsmakers beginning to seriously take bets on where Watson could land next — if indeed he is traded. According to Sports...

Around the NFL: News, notes and thoughts on what’s happening around the league Nick Falato takes us around the NFL Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images Here we are, entering the conference championship games in the year 2021. Just a few short months ago, there was a ton of uncertainty around the likelihood of the season’s existence, but remarkably the NFL didn’t have to miss a game due to COVID-19. The divisional round was entertaining. The Bills advanced to the conference championship...

Jan 18, 2021 Demonstrating yet again that nobody involved in the Houston Texans organization has the pulse of the fan base better than Deshaun Watson, the quarterback - embroiled in a team controversy not of his making - is calling for passionate fans to cancel their scheduled Monday protest march against the idea of trading the star player. "I’m hearing there is a march planned on my behalf in Houston today, Watson wrote on Twitter on Monday. "Although I am humbled, I ask that whoever is or...

While actual good football teams prepare for something the Houston Texans have never had the pleasure of preparing for before, a conference title game, the drama from inside NRG Stadium continues to take center stage. Deshaun Watsons anger toward the organization doesnt appear to be going away anytime soon, as the latest news has him ignoring the Texans phone calls (which makes it awfully difficult to give input on a new head coach): "Deshaun Watson is not returning calls from the organization....

Why the Broncos have to call about Deshaun Watson If you don’t have a quarterback, you try to get one. It’s that simple. As we sit and wait for George Paton to make a move as the new general manager of the Denver Broncos, it’s become clear to me how big a difference there is between a quality candidate and good hire. It isn’t cautious aggression, or reckless caution. It’s a process that leads to a desirable result. Everything else is talk. Which brings us to a brewing storm that cou...

It was fun this weekend to settle in and watch eight functional NFL playoff teams compete, drama free, playing the highest level of the most popular sport in our country. For that, I thank the Packers, Rams, Bills, Ravens, Chiefs, Browns, Buccaneers, and Saints. However, like any good party, eventually it ended, and we are forced to wake up to our Monday hangover that is the Houston Texans. And what a mess they are! Not a glorious mess, though. There are glorious, dysfunctional messes that are...
