Insider Calls Texans' Jack Easterby 'A F--king Idiot' Amid Deshaun Watson Rumors

Jack Easterby, a former Patriots team chaplain turned executive vice president of football operations, appears to be winning what amounts to an organizational power struggle with quarterback .

Suffice it to say, some in the organization aren't happy about it.

"The guys I trust, including a guy big in Houston, he wants to kill [Easterby]," a source told Matt Verdame of Fansided. "He goes 'this guy is a f--king idiot. He's got the owner's ear and he's going to ruin the whole organization.'"

Sarah Barshop of ESPN reported Watson has asked the Texans to trade him, citing a fracture in his relationship with the team that has coincided with Easterby's rise to power.
