Texans fined, stripped of fifth-round draft pick for unusual reason
The Houston Texans have been stripped of a fifth-round draft pick for an unusual salary cap violation.
In a statement Thursday, the NFL announced that the Texans have been stripped of a draft pick and fined $175,000 over a salary cap reporting violation. According to the league, the Texans bought then-quarterback Deshaun Watson a “membership at an alternative athletic facility” in 2020 without reporting it as a cap expense.
