The Indianapolis Colts reportedly reached out to the Houston Texans in an attempt to discuss a potential trade for quarterback Deshaun Watson but the Texans declined, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
It makes sense that the Texans wouldn’t want to deal Watson in the division, regardless of how big of an offer the Colts might have made. Indy is in desperate need of a quarterback after trading away Carson Wentz and it’s apparent that general manager Chris Ballard wants to leave no stone unturned.
Even as shocking as trading for Watson would be, the Texans didn’t give the Colts a chance to make an offer.
Houston has declined Indianapolis’ attempt to speak with Deshaun Watson, per source. Houston comfortable trading Watson – just not in the AFC South.

Watson’s trade market has been heating up following the news that he would not be indicted by a grand jury on nine criminal complaints of sexual assault or harassment in Harris County (Texas).
While Watson wasn’t indicted by the grand jury last week, he still faces cases for the 22 women who have filed civil lawsuits against the Texans quarterback.
Watson is likely to be playing football in 2022 even if he is suspended by the NFL, but it won’t be for the Colts.
