Report: Texans haven't discussed Watson trade internally

The Houston Texans haven't held internal discussions or entertained trade offers for star quarterback Deshaun Watson, a source told NFL reporter Josina Anderson.

New Texans head coach David Culley recently said on the "Huddle and Flow" podcast that Watson is his starting signal-caller "as of right now." Culley explained the situation further on Thursday, saying "we are very committed to Deshaun as our quarterback."

Watson has reportedly demanded a trade due to his frustration with Houston's front office over the process of hiring general manager Nick Caserio and Culley.

The Texans have reportedly ignored all inquiries from potential suitors.

Watson's current contract contains a no-trade clause, giving him the power to reject possible destinations. He's signed through 2025 after inking a four-year, $156-million extension last year.

The three-time Pro Bowler set career highs with 4,823 passing yards and 33 touchdowns in 2020. He's posted a 28-25 record as a starter since entering the league in 2017.

The New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, and Carolina Panthers have been linked to Watson.
