Saturday’s excellent SI.com article that looked into a chaotic couple of weeks for the Texans reports, among other things, that quarterback Deshaun Watson “just wants out.” He quite possibly does, but he has not officially asked for that to happen.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Watson has not specifically requested a trade, yet.
Although it’s moving in that direction, Watson realizes that using those words will take the situation past the point of no return. This means that, for now, it’s not past the point of no return.
