Rumors that Watson could ask to be traded

There's a growing buzz in league circles that Deshaun Watson could ask to be traded, and his new contract doesn't make that as difficult as you'd think https://t.co/wvY5BxQZRq

Man that would be great if he can go to a better place. It is going to take a long time for the Texans to fix their issues.

Cant see that happening. He did not have top sign his mega deal but he did when he should have left. Id be surprised if there was any serious talk of him leaving. He took the 160M and well hes not going anywhere.

+1. Sure seems unlikely.

I'd be happy to drop millions of contract dollars to play behind a better Oline.

Don't care what the NFLPA would have to say about it either.

Eagles should of tried it when BOB was still there. He would’ve done a straight up trade for Watson for a Philly cheesesteak and the long snapper.

He needs to find his way to New England!! 15 Picks this year and tons of cap space!!

That's what I was thinking. For a team that has no picks, this could be appealing.

He just opened to franchise restaurants in Houston in the past month, typically not the behavior of someone looking to leave town.

Panthers need to send the 8th pick and CMC to Houston for DW4!!!

Would love to see him in LV throwing to Renfrow again

My thoughts as well.

But if it is saying that his contract makes that more doable than you think, why not? I'm sure with the numbers he put up this year, there is an owner or two that want that on his team and are willing to pay for it.

Then there is this... LINK

The Texans say they will not trade DW4 if requests it.

#Texans QB Deshaun Watson is extremely unhappy with the organization after owner Cal McNair informed him he would be involved in the GM and coach hiring process and provide feedback… but then did neither in the hire of GM Nick Caserio, sources say.

Would love to see him in Pittsburgh. Ben retires and bring in Watson. Everything is in place at Pittsburgh. They have young, talented WRs with star power.

The defense is set. Was the best in the NFL this year in a lot of areas. Likely will take a top line running back in the draft this year.

Pittsburgh will be a perfect fit, as long as Ben decides to retire.
