Since Deshaun Watson formally issued a trade demand and then reiterated that demand to the Houston Texans more than a month ago, the franchise has shown no willingness to appease their superstar quarterback. In fact, they ve been defiant in the face of public and private pressure to trade Watson, with both their GMand coach publicly stating Watson is part of the team and they have no intention to acquiesce to his request.
Interestingly enough, the Texans proved on Sunday they are willing to fulfill the trade requests of Pro Bowl players. It seems they only hold the rule of refusing to trade a player who has requested it to Watson.
