Most NFL observers projected the Deshaun Watson trade saga to reach its conclusion before the NFL trade deadline. But the latest news on the Houston Texans' plans points to a potential season two of drama with its maligned quarterback.

According to the latest report from ESPN's Adam Schefter, Houston is fully prepared to keep Deshaun Watson on the roster past the NFL trade deadline on November 2.

Although many in the Texans' organization want to turn the page and move on from Watson as soon as possible, Houston is ready to reopen trade discussions centered around the quarterback in the offseason, according to league sources.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio has been unwavering in his stance and determination to get full value for Watson and, to date, has been unwilling to trade him for anything less than what he believes Watson is worth.

It's worth noting that Texans owner Cal McNair has reportedly expressed his desire to move on from Deshaun Watson as soon as possible. But he's still giving GM Nick Caserio the final say on the matter.

The rumor may very well be coming from the Texans themselves, in an attempt to create a sense of urgency amongst the teams vying for their star quarterback.

With the NFL trade deadline just days away, no name will be under the spotlight as much as Deshaun Watson.
