The Deshaun Watson story sprung to life just a few days ago after the Falcons surprisingly joined in the bidding war for the quarterback still facing 22 civil cases alleging, among other things, sexual assault. Atlanta quickly went from a long-shot to one of Watson’s top destinations.
While things were unclear Wednesday night, a series of updates points towards the Saints being the likely destination for Watson.
The first? A flurry of cap moves which coincidentally can fit Watson’s $35 million cap hit.
The Falcons, on the other hand, have only about $5 million in cap space with Matt Ryan’s restructure still unprocessed.
