[Schefter] Sources: NFL is taking a fifth-round pick from the Texans and fining them $175,000 for what the league believes is a salary-cap violation and what Houston believes is an accounting error that dates back Deshaun Watson’s training during COVID.

The Easterby accounting firm made an oopsie
Well that’s lame.
Deshaun we did not consent to this pls no
[The Texans believe it gave them no salary-cap advantage and they were simply paying $26,000 for Deshaun Watson to train at a local facility while theirs was closed during COVID.](https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1633926877311008768?t=zIvJVB2m1se4QlHEIcP48g&s=19)

Come on man
Could of just lost Tariq Woolen
Seems like a weird thing to lose a draft pick over.
A 5th for a $26,000 violation seems extremely excessive.
Just fine the team 100k or some shit, damn.
Turns out the bad man can still hurt us
Will we ever be free of this bastard
Out of all the teams I just wouldn’t have considered the Texas as a potential salary cap violator. i know it could just be a minor error but its like saying we financially fail while competitively failing. Low blow.
Have the titans been fined for literally holding illegal practices at a high school during COVID?
One day we will look back and laugh. But for now we cry
Richard Sherman, Tareek Hill, and George Kittle we’re all 5th round picks.
I bet caserio is furious
Oh fuck off NFL
Almost as bad as not sending the draft card in on time
Actually it’s worse… way worse because they had a ton of time to send that trade sheet in.
So was this the Houstonian club membership?
As someone who interviewed to be the Texans Controller back in 2018. Glad I didn’t get hired now lol.
Wtf
Fucking stupid, man.
A make up call by the NFL. Had to punish Houston after Deshaun f’d up the QB market. Domino’s and all that.
A fifth is where Nick drafts dimes… this sucks. I’m sure he will make a move to get a pick near it back
