(SportsRadio 610) -- Texans CEO Cal McNair is reiterating the team's commitment to keeping franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson on the roster.
With the announcement of J.J. Watt's release after a decade spent with the team, attention turns squarely on the only franchise cornerstone left. Watson, however, has requested a trade from the Texans and believed to be adamant about not player for them in 2021.
McNair wants to focus on Watt, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and likely the best to ever play for the team. But he did address the Deshaun Watson rumors with ESPN's Adam Schefter.
“It’s not the right time to talk about the front office. It’s all about J.J., and honoring him."
“There is a lot of misinformation out there, I’ll leave it at that. Today we want on focus on J.J. Deshaun is our quarterback, he is a Texan, and we expect him to remain a Texan, and we’ll leave that.”
