Report: Deshaun Watson unhappy with Texans over social justice and hiring practices, could seek trade

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is reportedly unhappy with his team over their lack of action on social justice, and it could lead to a blockbuster trade that puts Watson in another uniform before next season.

According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Watson’s displeasure with the team is about more than just his lack of input on the hiring of a new general manager. Only four months after he signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension, Watson is reportedly unhappy with the Texans’ “insensitivity” to social justice, and that includes their hiring practices.

Reports about Deshaun Watson's unhappiness with @HoustonTexans are accurate and sources close to the QB say he is still angry about team's insensitivity to social justice, including hiring practices, after the franchise failed to interview Chiefs OC Eric Bienemy this past week.
