Watson Trade Talks

 

According to ESPN, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is willing to consider multiple trade options as the trade deadline draws closer, according to a source.

There are multiple teams interested in Watson, and although his desire to join the Dolphins has become a worst-kept secret, the source disputed the idea that Miami or bust.

Watson remains a strong contender for the Dolphins in a trade, but he will consider potential trades as they arise because his primary goal is to get out of Houston, according to sources. The Texans also hope to maximize Watson's trade value with prospective teams.

After Sunday's ugly 25-3 loss to the New York Giants, the Carolina Panthers are evaluating their pursuit of a franchise quarterback, sources have told ESPN.

There is growing expectation that Carolina will reignite Watson talks soon. Before Watson's sexual assault allegations surfaced, Carolina was a serious suitor early in the 2021 offseason, but Houston general manager Nick Caserio wasn't engaging with teams at the time, sources say.
