Houston QB Deshaun Watson Asks To Be Traded

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has asked to be traded, according to media reports Thursday.

ESPN reported that Watson, who signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension in September, made the trade request after he was reportedly unhappy with the process used by the Texans to hire new general manager Nick Caserio early this month.

The 25-year-old had career highs this season in passing yards, touchdowns and completion percentage and set single-season franchise records in touchdown and passing yards.
