Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is reportedly open to a change of scenery.
According to reporting from ProFootballTalk, the star quarterback “has quietly broached with teammates the possibility of requesting a trade.” (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

First off, I 100% don’t believe for a second Watson is going to get traded. He might ask for a trade, but the team isn’t dealing him.
There’s no shot in hell that happens. Let me repeat that for everyone. There is no chance at all the Texans dump their franchise QB.

Might he try to use whatever leverage he has in order to get as much help on the roster as he possibly can? Sure, but that’s a lot different than actually getting traded.
When you find a franchise QB, you don’t get rid of them unless there aren’t any other options on the table. Right now, that’s not the case.

Trust me, he’s not going anywhere.
