A review by the NFL found the team paid an undisclosed amount for then-QB Deshaun Watson to work out at a local facility in 2020 while theirs was closed, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
The Houston Texans have been disciplined over salary cap reporting involving former quarterback Deshaun Watson dating back to 2020, the NFL announced.
The Texans will forfeit a fifth-round draft pick after an NFL review determined that the team did not report that a specific amount was paid for a gym membership for Waston to train at while their facility was closed, during the early months of the COVID pandemic, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter adds that the team claims the $26,000 compensated to Watson for the gym gave them no salary-cap advantage.
According to the NFL, all clubs must report any player compensation or benefit per the salary cap requirements in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.Copyright © 2023 KTRK-TV. All Rights Reserved.
