Rich kicks off the hour reacting to the news that the Texans have released 3-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt, and examines what Watt’s release means for the team’s impasse with disgruntled QB Deshaun Watson. NBC Sports’ Peter King and Rich discuss the Texans CEO’s comments that he expects Deshaun Watson to remain on the team, why Houston released J.J. Watt instead of trading him, if there’s any chance the Texans can mend fences with Watson, Trevor Lawrence’s pro day and the misinformation gamesmanship teams play when the NFL Draft approaches, why the Eagles haven’t traded Carson Wentz yet, Jimmy Garoppolo’s future with the 49ers, and who was surprisingly left out of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2021. Rich wraps up the hour offering his tongue-in-cheek advice on what parents should say to young Houston fans with all their sports heroes leaving town, and his Jets fan reaction to Trevor Lawrence absolutely KILLING it at his Clemson pro day for NFL scouts.
