Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson returned to practice on Monday (Twitter link via Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com). Still, it’s not clear whether Watson has a future in Houston.

Watson will never play another down for the Texans, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle (on Twitter). Meanwhile, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link) hears that the Texans haven’t ruled out keeping him. The front office may seek an “Aaron Rodgers type of solution,” according to Robinson. Of course, Watson’s situation is far different from Rodgers’ contract dispute.
The Texans’ position on trading Watson is still unclear. Over the weekend we heard that the Texans are not returning calls on the embattled QB. At the same time, they’ve yet to back down from their sky high asking price of five high draft picks plus quality players. Meanwhile, Watson is still facing 22 civil suits, potential discipline from the league office, and an ongoing legal investigation.
Despite it all, the Panthers continue to monitor Watson and “several” other teams have contacted the Texans about the four-year starter. If Watson is traded/suspended/parked on the exempt list, the Texans will move forward with Tyrod Taylor and third-round pick Davis Mills as their top QBs.
There is no way that I would put my career on the line behind this team. None of the management can grab their butt in the dark.
He didn’t seem to have a problem putting his career on the line 22 other times in the past
Or grabbing butt in the dark..allegedly
People are complaining that they’re asking too much for Ben Simmons in the NBA, I would not give to draft picks and a starter for Watson. Watson is damaged goods. Even if he gets cleared 100% he still asked for Handys and more. He’s a pig and a pervert
Lots of luck with that trade…..
Despite no new news we get yet another daily update on this clown.
It wouldn’t be fair to let Rodgers have all the no new news updates.
One was headed for Jeopardy, the other is headed for Double.
What a mess. Just trade the guy. What is the point in not even returning calls on trades when it’s clear he doesn’t want to be there and you don’t want him there at this point
Honestly, what’s the trade value for a guy that could a franchise QB in the NFL or just as quickly could be a franchise QB in the Texas DOC intramural league?
