Every year, right before the trade deadline, the rumor mill cranks out hundreds of potential trades between NFL franchises. Some are totally far-fetched, some based in concrete reality, but more often than not, most never come to fruition.
This year, with the 1-6 record, the firing of head coach/general manager Bill O’Brien, and the total mess O’Brien left the next GM in terms of a lack of draft capital, smart contracts, and cap space, making up rumors about potential Texans trades is like shooting fish in a barrel. Wideout Kenny Stills has been mentioned repeatedly as someone who would get traded, but actual evidence to back up this rumor has yet to surface.
