“#Texans holding Deshaun Watson hostage after JJ Watt release<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Texans succumbed to JJ Watt\u2019s request for a release. Where does that leave their other disgruntled star?<\/p>\n

With Watt officially set to move on to greener pastures, that leaves Deshaun Watson as the lone difference-maker left on an increasingly barren roster. Watson has made it glaringly clear that he wants out \u2013 but the Texans organization has made it just as clear that they have no interest in trading him.<\/p>\n

Reports last week stated that while teams have been calling about the star quarterback, Houston hasn\u2019t budged on their stance that they will not move him. If they stay true to that position and he plays for the Texans in 2021, he will have next-to-no support.<\/p>\n

Other than Watson, the only Pro Bowl players left under contract in 2021 are Laremy Tunsil, Benardrick McKinney and David Johnson. They don\u2019t have a first-round pick in 2021 after they traded for Tunsil, and are without a second as well. Will Fuller, Watson\u2019s top receiver in 2020, is a free agent, and was suspended for the second half of the season after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.<\/p>\n

Their new coach, David Culley, has never held a coordinator position in the NFL, though he has spent nearly three decades in the league. Their new general<\/a> manager, Nick Caserio, is also entering his first full season in that position.<\/p>\n

Team owner Cal McNair is facing increased criticism as the Texans\u2019 body count piles up. Still, he remains committed to Watson as the situation deteriorates around him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of misinformation out there, I\u2019ll leave it at that. Today we want on focus on J.J. Deshaun is our quarterback, he is a Texan, and we expect him to remain a Texan, and we\u2019ll leave that,\u201d McNair said, via ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watson, to his credit, has remained calm in the face of the chaos, wishing Watt well on Twitter<\/a> after his release.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalute to one of the Greatest of All Time @JJWatt I app<\/a>reciate you for all the work you put in and more importantly the person you are,\u201d Watson wrote<\/a>. \u201cAny team in the league will be better the day you out on their jersey! 1OVE my brother! MORE Glory.\u201d\n <\/div>\n
