The Houston Texans raised their asking price for quarterback Deshaun Watson once they "caught wind of the growing possibility that the 22 civil lawsuits would be settled," according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
The three-time Pro Bowler is facing 22 lawsuits stemming from allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Ten women filed formal complaints with Houston police as well.
The lawsuits and complaints have made it difficult for the Texans to finalize a trade involving the star passer ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
The Houston Chronicle's John McClain reported the Miami Dolphins had struck a tentative deal with Houston regarding the compensation.
