Rumors Are Circulating that Deshaun Watson Wants to be Traded

Houston Texans superstar Deshaun Watson had a fantastic season despite his team having a terrible year. Watson is only of four quarterbacks in NFL history to finish a season with more than 4,500 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, and less than 10 interceptions. The Texans finished with a 4-12 record. Now after another tough year, it appears DeShaun may want a change of scenery.

Via Pro Football Talk: 

Rumors already are circulating, and we’ve already heard them from multiple different people, that Watson has quietly broached with teammates the possibility of requesting a trade. If that’s happening, it may just be a strategic effort to ensure his views are respected by ownership. Regardless, it raises the stakes and crosses a bridge and potentially sets the foundation for Watson eventually to decide that he’d like to continue his career elsewhere.

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

I’m not saying I’m desperate for a franchise QB, but I’d donate 10% of every paycheck to @deshaunwatson’s charity for the entirety of his #WashingtonFootball career if he got traded to DC. No 🧢. https://t.co/st0Ky6ryf5

Give them whatever it takes for this. I love Teddy B, not a critic of him, but Deshaun is special special! #Panthers https://t.co/s7UuZNBxTk

Yes I also would like to start a rumor about an amazing player joining my favorite team. https://t.co/GOWlsqCdNO

Sounds like a lot of teams would love to have Watson.  It’s pretty incredible that he was that good this season and the Texans were that bad. Imagine how high his ceiling could be on the right team.
