If Houston had draft capital the idea of trading Watson would be stupid and not even a discussion.
They had no first round pick last year.
Their 2019 first round pick is a RT who has been average.
They have no 2020 first or second round pick.
They traded a 2nd round pick they got for DeAndre Hopkins to get Brandin Cooks from LA.

They are 17.7 million over the cap.
Which means they have to cut JJ Watt who is a 17.5 million cap hit unless he restructures.
Cooks could be cut and that would save them 12 million but they gave up a 2nd round pick for him.
The team won’t have cap space to upgrade their team this year.

They are going to suck  next year because their defense sucks.
Now Watson may be able to turn 4-12 to 8-8 next year but this team is going to take 2-3 years to clean up their cap and rebuild their defense.

Thus by that time Watson will be a year away from FA and he is going to get another insane contract because he only signed a 4 year extension.

Houston has the QB but the Easterby/Littlefinger situation creates a toxic situation.
