Per sources, Texans QB Deshaun Watson met with recent Texans head coach David Culley last Friday. In that meeting Watson reiterated that he wishes to be traded and informed Culley he has no map of playing for the Texans over again. No change from Watson’s pause. He remains dug in.
The Cardinals will likely be hoping they rating the most attention-grabbing out of Watt love they did with Hopkins. The 31-year-aged posted 52 tackles (14 for loss), five sacks, 17 quarterback hits, an interception, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a touchdown last season, playing in all 16 games. He used to be regarded as one of many few engaging spots for a Texans team that went factual 4-12.
