The Houston Texans have been docked a fifth-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and fined $175,000 for a salary cap reporting violation involving former team quarterback Deshaun Watson.
An NFL investigation determined that the Texans provided Watson with membership to an athletic club in 2020, when the team facility was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NFL’s collective-bargaining agreement stipulates that teams must report any compensation or benefit given by the clubs to its players.
