In 2020, the Houston Texans are primed to set out on arguably their most interesting, exciting, and important season yet in franchise history.
It’s been a fascinating offseason for the Houston Texans as the team prepares for Year 4 of the Deshaun Watson era — and Year 7 of the Bill O’Brien era.
The head coach/general manager traded away franchise cornerstone DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for David Johnson. While the move could be categorized as an interesting gamble at best and as an awful blunder at worst, the truth of the situation is it’s a bit of a head-scratcher no matter what angle you look at it.

It’s also about whether or not Watson can challenge fellow AFC superstar quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes for standing as the best signal-caller in the conference.
