Panthers expected to ‘make a run’ at a Deshaun Watson trade this weekend

The Carolina Panthers (read: owner David Tepper) have made no secret about their interest in trading every available asset to the Houston Texans in exchange for quarterback Deshaun Watson. The trade market for Watson is expected to re-open today after a grand jury yesterday declined to indict him on any of ten criminal charges related to a series of sexual assault allegations that were levied against him last year. To be clear, not being charged is not the same thing as being “cleared”. It is not clear if Watson will face any civil liabilities or NFL discipline as a result his ongoing legal situation.
