As the Texans shopped Deshaun Watson before the November trade deadline, they took a hard-line stance on what they wanted in return: Three first-round picks and some combination of three second-round picks or young players who could make an impact for years to come.
There were reports that multiple teams offered the Texans three first-round picks and two third-round picks with a contingency that there would be some sort of resolution to the 22 civil lawsuits filed against Watson that include allegations of sexual assault during massage sessions.
The Dolphins reportedly made the biggest push, but the Texans rebuffed their offer, opting to try again in the offseason.
