Texans Seeking Six Players, Draft Picks For Deshaun Watson

Sep 12, 2021 4:22 PM

The Houston Texans have sought a package of six players and raft picks from teams interested in trading for Deshaun Watson.

Whether the package consisted of one player and five draft picks or two players and four picks, the Texans were unwilling to budge from their trade price for Watson.

Sources previously told ESPN that the Texans are prepared to keep Watson on their 53-man roster for the entire season, even though they will have to pay his $10.5 million salary.
