However, it might not be that simple. According to the Houston Chronicle, the Texans don’t see the former Alabama star “as an adequate replacement for Watson.”
The Houston Chronicle reported that it’s more likely Watson would be replaced with a top draft pick than with Tua.

While I think Tua is a hell of a guy and has a bright future, I agree 100% with this assessment. He’s not even close to being the same caliber of player right now.
Going from Watson to Tua would be a gigantic downgrade for the Texans and a huge upgrade for the Dolphins.

Let’s not forget that Tua struggled so much at times during his rookie campaign that he needed to be benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Do you think the Texans ever thought about benching Deshaun Watson? Hell no.
