Houston Texans‘ star quarterback is currently unhappy with the team. Rumors have it that the 25-year-old Deshaun Watson is considering requesting a trade.
The three-time Pro Bowler has been upset after the team hired Nick Caserio to become their new general manager. It was not the hiring that bothered Watson but rather the lack of communication from the team.
The quarterback had just signed a four-year contract extension worth $156 million in September. The QB had recently met with the team owner Cal McNair about possible candidates for the then-vacant general manager spot. This gave the impression that the organization would consult with the players about any hirings before finalizing a deal.
Instead, the team went on to hire Caserio without talking or telling the star quarterback. Furthermore, the team did not even finish getting a list of candidates from the 25-year-old. To add more to it, Watson found out about the hiring on social media.
