I can’t believe I actually have to write this.
No, the Cardinals should not trade Kyler Murray for Deshaun Watson. Not straight up, and especially—ESPECIALLY—not packaged with any other assets. Unless the Texans are the ones willing to add other picks and/or players, Cardinals GM Steve Keim should laugh and hang up the phone if they come calling. And he certainly shouldn’t be the one making the call himself.
Look, I get it. Quarterbacks like Watson—a 25-year-old franchise cornerstone—NEVER become available on the trade market. And of course there’s the DeAndre Hopkins connection. If you squint hard enough, I suppose there are some dots to connect, which leads to articles like this.
