It is looking increasingly unlikely that Deshaun Watson is traded before the Nov. 2 deadline.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Texans are prepared to keep Watson on their roster past the deadline despite interest from the Miami Dolphins. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the Dolphins and Texans remain interested in a deal, but the complicated nature of Watson's legal situation makes completing a trade difficult.
Watson is facing 22 civil lawsuits for alleged sexual assault and misconduct. Houston police are also investigating allegations against the Pro Bowl quarterback.
The lack of clarity surrounding Watson's future is the main impediment to a deal, as the Texans have steadfastly refused to trade him at a discount.
