Here we go. A significant development for the #Texans, per me and @TomPelissero. https://t.co/g9fz9Gzr2O

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson reported to training camp Sunday in order to avoid a $50,000 daily fine, but Tom Peliserro is reporting that he still wants to be traded and the franchise is set to oblige.
Per Peliserro, Houston is now willing to listen — and have been for some time — to trade offers for Watson, and the price will be steep.
The Texans reportedly are expecting at least three first-round picks, and the Eagles are one of the few teams with the assets to make such a deal a reality.
The NFL hasn’t placed him on the exempt list since his civil cases won’t go to trial this year and Watson could still face league suspension once his issues have been resolved, but the sweepstakes for one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks has officially begun.
