I don’t know why everyone missed this very important part of the Deshaun article everyone is talking about, so I’ll copy and paste it here:

"With Watson at the helm, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that Houston could be right back in the playoff mix next season, especially if it hires the right head coach. Florio speculated that Watson floating the idea of a trade may have been his way of capturing the attention of the Texans front office and creating a situation in which he will be given input when it comes to choosing a new coach. While Watson is young and only has one playoff win to his credit, consulting him about the head coaching hire would make sense because of the fact that he's the face of the franchise and will be around for years to come if he plays out his entire contract. Watson's mere presence could make Houston the most attractive head coaching opening to some candidates, and a good relationship with the star quarterback would go a long way toward building a strong foundation for success. It is likely that most of the NFL's teams will line up and offer a king's ransom for Watson if they actually entertain trading him at some point, but it is difficult to envision that happening any time soon given how recently he signed a new deal."

Make of it what you will.
