There could be numerous trades that happened this offseason that involve the Houston Texans.
Mike Ginnitti went onto “The Bench” on ESPN 97.5/92.5 and confirmed that outside of a Deshaun Watson deal, Brandin Cooks and Laremy Tunsil may be traded.
“The Watson trade, the Tunsil trade and probably a Brandin Cooks trade kind of looks inevitable right now,” Ginnitti said.

Watson will likely get traded once the criminal investigation against him is complete, though the asking price is currently at least three first-round picks.
Cooks just finished up his second season with the Texans and finished with over 1,000+ yards receiving again. He had 1,037 yards and six touchdowns on 90 receptions.
Tunsil has been a premier lineman in the NFL and Houston could also get a haul for him as it undergoes a massive rebuild.
The NFL world wasted no time in seeing who could be interested in these three players.

Would expect 15-20 teams in on Tunsil https://t.co/qmNxzFgCxR

#Browns I would be interested in WR Brandin Cooks, pending contract negotiations.
> 1,000 yards and 1.7 yards per route run in six of last seven seasons, as well as top-20 finishes in EPA at the position over the same timeframe. https://t.co/RUzGK9BcLX

Bengals should be all over that tunsil trade. 17m and 18m cap hits the next two years for a 27 year old franchise LT. Jonah williams to RT or LG could go a long way to rebuilding that OL in just one offseason. Assuming it would take 31st overall + more, but worth it https://t.co/vZcY2iETmX

If the price is right, I can see a Carr-to-Cooks connection working in Vegas. https://t.co/Sv7Y0odoAZ

There could be a lot of trades this offseason and these three could certainly all be blockbusters.
The winds look to be changing in Houston, especially with another new regime in.
