The Houston Texans are reportedly close to reaching a deal with the Miami Dolphins regarding a trade involving quarterback Deshaun Watson prior to the NFL Trade Deadline on November 2.
The Houston Chronicle‘s John McClain reports the two teams have discussed the trade, which could be made official, “this week.”
Texans Wire and Locked On Texans beat reporter Coty M. Davis reports he’s “hearing” that the trade “could be a three team deal” that would involve Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being sent to the Washington Football Team.

The former Clemson standout appeared at the Texans’ training camp session and is currently listed on the 53-man roster as of Wednesday.
