Deshaun Watson Has Officially Requested a Trade

Well that was fast...

For anyone who thought the hiring of David Culley as the Texans next head coach was enough to keep Deshaun Watson in Houston the answer is no.  And there was no waiting around for an answer.

On Thursday morning Adam Schefter reported that Watson has officially requested a trade and the hiring of Culley has not and will not change his mind.

To complicate things with the situation even more, Watson has not spoken to new general manager Nick Caserio and executive Jack Easterby at all.

Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago. Their new head-coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson’s thinking.

I said things in Houston were going to start being a lot of fun.  Well, here we go.  It doesn't get much more fun than a star quarterback forcing his way off of a team.
