The quarterback is still a Texan and several key teams at the heart of daily Watson...
Some will tell you that Watson hasn't been traded because the Texans have never been able to make a deal.The Texans have also insisted for more than a year that they receive top dollar for Watson, despite the fact that he's facing 22 civil lawsuits and is still dealing with multiple investigations into sexual assault and misconduct.
Could Watson have been traded last season, at multiple points, if the Texans had lowered their asking price a little — or were more realistic during the early months of Watson's hardline me-versus-the-Texans stance? Without a doubt. At one point, the Texans were still trying to convince Watson that he should stick with them and buy into their new culture.
As long as Nick Caserio and Co. eventually receive the same value for Watson that they could have obtained last season, the organization will be able to sell that it"won" the Watson trade. And Caserio must get this blockbuster right, because a rebuilding franchise can reset its entire roster with the lofty draft picks that a departed Watson will theoretically bring to Houston.
But after all this time — all the news, analysis, rumors, speculation, stories, theories, gibberish and nonsense Waston is still a Texan and several key teams at the heart of daily Watson rumors have officially moved on.Seattle? The team that just traded Wilson suddenly needs a new starting QB and it's hard to imagine a 70-year-old Pete Carroll greenlighting an instant rebuild.
