The Facts: The Texans still haven’t engaged in trade talks, but they continue to get calls about Deshaun Watson. And if it becomes clear Watson won’t be there -- via trade, holdout or otherwise -- don’t rule out Smith landing in Houston.
Diehards Line:The Texans added Tyrod Taylor in free agency and Taylor is familiar with new Texans offensive assistant Pep Hamilton from their time together with the Chargers. But Smith, currently available as a free agent after earning Comeback Player of the Year honors for a stint with the Football Team, worked with new Texans HC David Culley in Kansas City. ... At this point, there's still much to figure out about Watson's future with the club (and perhaps also his 2021 availability in general). We'll continue to watch for more.
