Texans GM Nick Caserio Shoots Down Deshaun Watson Future: 'He's Our Quarterback'

Following reports that quarterback Deshaun Watson has been displeased with the Texans' hiring process for general manager and head coach, new GM Nick Caserio doesn't see that affecting Watson's status with the team.

"He's our quarterback," Caserio said, via ESPN's Field Yates, when asked at his introductory press conference about the idea of trading Watson. "I can't tell you how much respect and admiration have for him as a player."

Caserio's comments come one day after reports surfaced saying Watson was "extremely unhappy" with the organization after being told by owner Cal McNair that the signal-caller would be involved in the hiring process for the general manager and coach, but was not involved in Caserio's hiring.
