If there is one team in the NFL that has been in the news for a lot of the wrong reasons this offseason, it’s the Houston Texans. While they continue to try and find the answer at the quarterback position with Deshaun Watson demanding a trade before all of his off-the-field drama came to light, the Texans continue to seemingly get in their own way and have a tough time pleasing a lot of fans.
In many ways, they sound a lot like the Washington Football Team, which has been continually in the news for less than ideal reasons over the years and is still searching for a franchise QB.
Now there is another way that the two teams can be alike, with former Washington quarterback Alex Smith potentially landing with the Texans.
The #Texans still haven’t engaged in trade talks, but they continue to get calls about Deshaun Watson. And if it becomes clear Watson won’t be there — via trade, holdout or otherwise — don’t rule out Alex Smith landing in Houston. @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/q1yPLMBOTU

Houston makes sense for Smith, especially if he desires to continue playing or starting. The Texans signed Tyrod Taylor this offseason, and with the future of Watson anything but certain, it wouldn’t be a shock to see Smith come in and work to secure a starting spot.
