The Houston Texans have been disciplined for a salary cap reporting violation, the league announced Thursday. In addition to a $175,00 fine, the team will forfeit their original fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.
, the league conducted a review and determined that the Texans"provided then Texans' quarterback Deshaun Watson with undisclosed compensation in the form of a membership at an alternative athletic facility in 2020."
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, that amount was $26,000 — which the team believes was an accounting error and did not provide a salary cap advantage. The Texans believe it gave them no salary-cap advantage and they were simply paying $26,000 for Deshaun Watson to train at a local facility while theirs was closed during COVID.
