Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago. Their new head-coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson’s thinking.
Schefter said that the request came several weeks ago, so it never mattered to him whom the Texans hired as their new head coach.
