of Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks. They traded for the former Rams wide receiver sending a 2020 second round draft pick. In addition to receiving Cooks, the Texans also received a 2022 fourth round pick. Following an 0–4 start to begin the 2020 NFL season, O'Brien was fired from the Texans. Romeo Crennel was named the interim head coach. They overall finished 4-12. 2021 After the 2020 season, the Texans hired David Culley to be their new head coach. It was also the end of an era as J.J. Watt was released on February 12, 2021, ending his 10-year tenure in Houston. He later signed with the Arizona Cardinals, reuniting him with former Texan DeAndre Hopkins. In addition, Deshaun Watson publicly demanded a trade, citing disagreement with the team's management and leading to a standoff. He would later be accused by several women of sexual assault, with 22 women filing lawsuits against him. Due to both factors, the Browns signed veteran journeyman Tyrod Taylor and drafted Davis Mills to play at quarterback in Watson's stead in 2021, ultimately keeping the latter inactive throughout the season despite not releasing or suspending him. The Texans struggled again, finishing with a 4–13 record, though Mills showed promise when filling in at quarterback. Following the season, Culley was fired after just one season by Texans GM Nick Caserio due to "philosophical differences" in the team's direction, and Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns after a grand jury declined to indict him on criminal charges related to his accusations.
