The Houston Texans are 1-6 on the season and have been at the forefront of trade rumors as the Nov. 3 trade deadline nears. According to an anonymous NFL executive, there's a possibility that Texans blow up their entire roster with five deals.

Via R.J. White of CBS Sports:

“They could make five trades if they wanted to,” said one executive who had been in contact with the Texans. “I'm not sure how far they'll go with it.”

Houston is reportedly ready to move on from their current roster construction and become major sellers at the deadline. They have a ton of veteran players that could be attractive pieces to contending teams.

Despite all these trade rumors, it seems unlikely that the Texans trade away superstar defensive end JJ Watt. Nonetheless, people around the league believe that the 31- year old would prefer to compete for a championship at this point in his career.

Another Texans defender that has found his name in the rumor mill is Whitney Mercilus, who should also become a coveted piece for a team looking to improve their pass rush.

Multiple sources also say that Houston will likely make four receivers available on the market. Those include Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, and Kenny Stills. Tight end Darrell Fells has also generated interest from other squads while running back Duke Johnson could also be on the move.

Those are certainly a ton of names, and it's highly like that this Houston team could look very different within the next couple of days. The Texans reportedly want to collect a ton of draft capital as they look toward the future.

They certainly have some attractive pieces that they could sell to win-now teams who are willing to deal their assets.
