Not so fast.

A day after news broke of Deshaun Watson requesting a trade, new Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio made it clear he hasn’t given up on keeping him in the fold, setting up a standoff with the franchise QB.

“Organizationally, we want to reiterate our commitment to Deshaun Watson,” he said at Friday’s press conference to introduce head coach David Culley. “We have zero interest in trading the player.

“We have a great plan, a great vision for him and for this team and his role on our team. We look forward to the opportunity to spend more time with him here this spring.”

While Watson’s frustration with the franchise has little to do with Caserio and Culley personally, there has been no indication they will be able to change his mind.

The 25-year-old Clemson alum had expected to have a say in the team’s new leadership after a dismal 4-12 season. That didn’t appear to happen with the team hiring Caserio without notifying Watson.

Culley, on his first official day with the team, tried to throw some optimism at the looming ugliness.

“The only thing I knew about this whole situation, at that point, was is that I was being interviewed for this job to be the head coach. And, I did know at that point — Deshaun Watson is a Houston Texan,” the 65-year-old first-time head coach said. “He’s the quarterback of the Houston Texans, and that’s all that I was concerned about and that’s all I knew. And whatever has been said about what he wanted to do or didn’t want to do — all I knew is this: Having been in this business this long — he is a Houston Texan. And I want him to be a Houston Texan, and the reason I’m in this position today is because I knew he was going to be a Houston Texan.”

That positivity may be misplaced. Watson, whose four-year, $156 million contract runs through 2025 with a no-trade clause, has most of the leverage in this case, and is reportedly “dug-in” on being dealt. The Texans can do little more than fine him if he refuses to show up, though NFL Network reported that he’s willing to “sit and lose money.”

Numerous teams are expected to be in the trade market for Watson, who led the NFL with a career-high 4,823 passing yards and threw for a personal best 33 touchdowns in 2020. The Jets could put together an intriguing package spearheaded by the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft — with which the Texans could select Watson’s replacement with Zach Wilson, Justin Fields or Trey Lance.

It won’t be so easy, though. Gang Green likely will have to compete with AFC East foes from New England and Miami, as well as the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers
