Details of a nixed Texans trade have sparked tons of debate in Houston
NO DEAL!
21 April 2023
This week, we react to a report from Click2Houston's Aaron Wilson that alleges the Houston Texans passed on an opportunity to trade with the Bears for the number one pick in the draft.
According to league sources, the Texans were not willing to trade the No. 2 and No. 12 picks and enable them to draft Alabama QB Bryce Young. A player the Texans covet, per the report.
The Texans were however willing to trade No. 2 overall and the Browns' first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but the Bears did not agree to the counteroffer.
Plus, we weigh in on some trade scenarios involving 49ers QB Trey Lance and Patriots QB Mac Jones.

Eric Murray returned one of Justin Herbert's career-high four interceptions for a touchdown, C.J. Stroud threw a TD pass and the Houston Texans rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a wild-card playoff game Saturday.
Be sure to watch the video below as the crew from Texans on Tap reacts live to the big win!
It’s the second straight year Stroud and the Texans (11-7) won in the first round after they beat Cleveland last season.
Herbert threw just three interceptions in the regular season and had never thrown more than two in a game before facing a Texans secondary led by AP All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley, who had two INTs. Kamari Lassiter had the other pick.
The Chargers (11-7), who returned to the playoffs under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, lost in the wild-card round for a second straight time after also losing in the 2022 season to remain without a postseason win since 2018.
Stroud threw for 282 yards with the touchdown pass to Nico Collins and an interception. Collins finished with seven catches for 122 yards. Joe Mixon ran for 106 yards and a score.
Herbert was 14 of 32 for 242 yards with a 40.9 passer rating.
