League sources told ESPN that Watson offered his input on potential general manager candidates, but the Texans failed to consider their franchise quarterback during the process. The Texans reportedly didn’t tell Watson that they hired Caserio as the team’s next GM. Instead, he found out about the hire on social media like the rest of the football world, per ESPN.
Earlier Thursday afternoon, ProFootballTalk reported that Watson has "quietly broached with teammates the possibility of requesting a trade."
