Ian Rapoport breaks down failure of Texans and Dolphins to reach Deshaun Watson trade deal

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network broke down why the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins failed to make a deal for QB Deshaun Watson.

The Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins were unable to reach a deal that would provide Deshaun Watson to start the next chapter of his NFL career in a new city.

Despite that the Texans and Dolphins were negotiating for months, and that the Dolphins are one of Watson’s preferred destinations — a real key given his no-trade clause waiver being necessary to pull off a deal — Houston and Miami couldn’t get it done.

The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport joined “The Rich Eisen Show” on Wednesday and broke down what happened between the two sides and what the future may look like for the Texans, Dolphins, Watson, and the 2022 quarterback market.
