The Facts: Multiple people in and around the Texans organization believe Watson has played his last snap with the team, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. One source told ESPN's Sarah Barshop that the Texans have had internal conversations about possible trade partners and what their quarterback position would look like in the future without Watson.
Diehards Line:
Watson is still upset with the Texans over, among other issues, the process they used to hire general manager Nick Caserio, according to multiple reports, leading to widespread speculation that Houston could trade the star quarterback this offseason or be faced with the real possibility that he could decide to withhold his services and not report if he isn't dealt. It's still early in the offseason, and Houston just hired Caserio and don't even have a head coach, but the Texans know they have a problem with Watson. There is a growing consensus within the NFL, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, that Watson will force his way out, and the Texans believe he will command a high compensation package in a trade.
