Even though there is a Super Bowl in 10 days, the NFL news cycle has been dominated this week by Deshaun Watson and Matthew Stafford. Two quarterbacks who, at fault or not, went a combined 9-23 last season. Each quarterback has reportedly told their teams that they aren’t interested in continuing their careers with those respective franchises, which appears to be opposite of the case with the Rams and Jared Goff.
In LA, it ‘s the team that’s saying “It’s not me. It’s you.”
In Houston, the word on Thursday is that Watson officially requested a trade from the Texans “weeks ago” per Adam Schefter, and that the hiring of new head coach David Culley will do nothing to change his mind.
