Texans’ Deshaun Watson trade rumors: ‘Best bet’ emerges

  • A new week means a new round of Deshaun Watson trade rumors.To buy more Texans Jerseys with cheap price, you can visit texans365 official website.

     

    The first comes from Boston Globe columnist Ben Volin, who reports the Matthew Stafford trade between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams established the floor for the Houston Texans, if and/or when they decide to shop Watson.

     

    The Texans could get at least three first-round picks for Watson, and probably more. A trade would only increase Watson’s salary-cap number from $15.9 million to about $21.6 million for the Texans, making a trade palatable.Stafford, as you recall, netted the Lions a pair of first-round picks, a third-round pick and quarterback Jared Goff.

     

    As for who has the draft capital to trade for the 25-year old Watson:

     

    The Dolphins, who own picks Nos. 3, 18, 36, and 50, and are arguably a quarterback away from being a Super Bowl contender, are Watson’s best bet. The 49ers, Jets, and Panthers also look like intriguing fits.The Jets have enough picks to make a deal for Watson work, thanks to the Jamal Adams trade before the 2020 season. General manager Joe Douglas has to decide if trading multiple picks, including the No. 2 overall in 2021, is worth it for Watson, who would replace Sam Darnold in the Jets’ huddle.

     

    Watson led the NFL with 4,823 passing yards last season, an incredible feat considering that one year ago, the Texans traded wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals.
