How the Houston Texans went from contender to reset after trading Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns

HOUSTON -- In August 2019, the Houston Texans had four superstar players on their roster: Deshaun Watson, J.J. Watt, DeAndre Hopkins and Jadeveon Clowney.

Now, it's been more than two years since Clowney was traded, and all four are gone. Clowney was the first to be traded, prior to the start of the 2019 season, and Watson was the last, going to the Cleveland Browns on Friday. Watson requested a trade this offseason before he was accused of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior in 23 civil lawsuits.
