Deshaun Watson was the biggest name expected to part ways with his team come the NFL trade deadline. The Houston Texans quarterback was seen by many to be headed to the Miami Dolphins.

But November 2 came and went, with nothing coming to fruition as Watson still remains with the Texans. According to NFL insider Jay Glazer, the off-field allegations against Watson came back to haunt him once again.

The Texans QB was reportedly willing to settle with the women in order to get a trade to the Dolphins to materialize, but once their camp caught wind of this, they allegedly upped the ante to put the pressure back on Deshaun Watson.

“Carolina? They didn't care if he settled. Miami? It was a requirement for him to settle with the 22 women in the lawsuits. So in the end there, the Houston Texans who were originally asking for 3 ones, and 2 twos, and a player and such. The Dolphins were will to part with that.

But when Deshaun was finally willing to settle, the attorney for those women felt, ‘Okay, we can kind of go after that a little bit more. Everything had to go perfectly for this to happen in time for the trade deadline.”

Regardless of what went down, the end result is still the same. Deshaun Watson needs to wait until the offseason for a potential move away from the Texans as the ugly allegations against him won't go away quietly.
