Texans Lose Draft Pick For Salary Cap Violation
2 years agoThe NFL is taking a fifth-round pick in 2023 from the Houston Texans and is fining them $175,000 for what the league believes is a salary cap violation and what the Texans believe is an accounting error that dates back to quarterback Deshaun Watson's training during COVID in 2020, according to sources. The Texans later traded Watson to the Cleveland Browns last year. Houston will have the second and 12th overall picks in April's draft, one pick in the fifth round and 10 total picks after losing their fifth-rounder.
