Watson is in a heated battle with Texans management after demanding a trade request.

Earlier this week, the team said they have “zero interest” in trading Watson, and new coach David Culley said he expects to coach the 3-time Pro Bowl quarterback.

Watson reportedly became upset with the organization due to the process of hiring new General Manager Nick Caserio, which involved controversial team employee Jack Easterby, according to Sports Illustrated.
