The saga between the Houston Texans and their disgruntled quarterback continues. According to one NFL insider, Deshaun Watson has no plans to make amends with his current team, and the relationship between player and team may not be repairable anytime soon.

"Let's go back to last Sunday," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Saturday during ESPN's NFL Countdown (via Garrett Stepien of 247Sports, h/t to Patrick Tulini). "I tweeted out that one person close to Watson said that if his anger level after they traded DeAndre Hopkins last offseason was a two, this time, it's a 10. And sure enough, what did Deshaun Watson tweet yesterday? 'I was on two and I took it to 10,' validating exactly what everyone thinks and knows.

"He is one unhappy camper and has no plans to be with the Houston Texans anytime soon — if ever."


Watson's latest discontent with the Texans stems from the quarterback being told that he would have input in the decisions leading to hiring a new general manager and head coach. That didn't happen. Watson is also unhappy that the team is keeping EVP of football operations Jack Easterby.

"But sources close to Watson say this is bigger than firing Jack Easterby, the front office executive whom McNair says he won't fire," added ESPN's Chris Mortensen on NFL Countdown. "He says — this source says — that unless Cal McNair can fire himself, Deshaun Watson is not about to change his mind that he does not want anything to do with the Texans going forward."

Oddsmakers still have the Houston Texans as the most-likely team to have Watson on its roster for Week 1 of the 2021 season. The San Francisco 49ers are third on the list, though, behind the Miami Dolphins. Acquiring the star quarterback would require surrendering significant draft capital.

Still, it is a story worth keeping an eye on, and it doesn't seem like things are getting any better in Houston.

"I think the issue with Deshaun is that they went to him to ask his input into what they should do going forward," added Schefter. "He didn't go to them. They went to him. They asked his opinion. And then they ignored his opinion."

Defensive tackle Arik Armstead is now a free agent after the San Francisco 49ers released him on Wednesday. However, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that he was almost headed to the Houston Texans. A source told Barrows that on Tuesday, the 49ers had a deal in place to trade Armstead for Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins.

Despite the failed trade, the 49ers ended up acquiring Collins in exchange for a seventh-round pick, the No. 232 overall selection in next month's draft.

49ers announce team has re-signed Chris Conley

The San Francisco 49ers announced today that the team has re-signed WR Chris Conley to a one-year deal. Conley spent 2023 with the 49ers but only appeared in eight games. He finished the regular season with three receptions for 69 yards. But Conley saved his best for the postseason. Although he only had two receptions for 35 yards, his catches came in big moments. In the Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, with the 49ers trailing 21-17, Conley brought in a 17-yard catch that moved the ball to Green Bay's 26-yard line. The 49ers scored the winning touchdown on the drive. Then in Super Bowl LVIII, Conley hauled in an 18-yard reception in the first quarter to help set up a Jake Moody field goal. But perhaps Conely's biggest plays in the Super Bowl
