At one point, Watson was an extremely hot commodity with teams lining up to be a trade suitor for the star quarterback. Watson’s appeal has taken a turn for the worst for obvious reasons. However, he still has a no-trade clause, which will make the situation difficult for Houston.

It remains to be seen how this situation in Houston will be resolved and if any team is willing to take on the baggage that Watson will bring. Houston has remained adamant that it doesn’t want to trade the star quarterback, but that could quickly change if it sees the scenario to do so that would improve their team and end the Watson era.
