Yes, you read that headline correctly.
During his radio show today FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd reacted to the Houston Texans firing Head Coach and General Manager Bill O’Brien. His fix for the 0-4 team? Trading Badger legend and future member of the NFL Hall of Fame J.J. Watt.

When you listen to his reasoning it actually makes some sense, as the Texans have dug themselves a deep hole with bad contracts, bad trades and more and now don’t have a first round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
But the fact they’ve gotten to the point that trading Watt is being suggested by radio hosts is hard to believe, as the former Badger is in his No. 10 year with the team, is a five-time Pro Bowler, five-time First Team All-Pro and has recorded an unbelievable 98 sacks, 23 forced fumbles, 492 total tackles and 270 quarterback hits.
It’ll be interesting to see what Houston does going forward, but were they to trade the Badger legend it would be extremely odd to see him in another uniform.
