DeShaun Watson officially requests trade

The drama surrounding the Houston Texans and quarterback DeShaun Watson continues to progress, as the star player has now formally requested a trade from the team, according to multiple media reports including NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Watson is, according to reports over the past few weeks, upset with the direction of the Texans and feels betrayed when he was led to believe his inputs would be included in the team’s search for a new head coach and general manager, but that he was ignored throughout the process. Watson has a no-trade clause which he would have to waive if a deal were to be made - a fact that allows him to ultimately pick where he lands should a trade happen.
