HOUSTON – J.J. Watt and Will Fuller are still Texans after the NFL trade deadline passed Tuesday.

It was widely reported that the Green Bay Packers were looking for another weapon for Aaron Rodgers, and Will Fuller was on their wish list. According to ESPN, Green Bay officials were split on whether or not to make the move and it ended up not going through.

Of course, the other player in question was J.J. Watt, although that seemed far fetch from the get-go. Houston fans can rest easy knowing Watt is still in Houston.

“No big moves,” McNair said. “You’ll see some little things happened over the weekend but no big moves. We like our players. We like our team.”
