I'm not trying to scare you with that headline. And yes, there are significant differences in the pursuit of Deshaun Watson vs. the infamous three-decades-ago Vikings trade for Herschel Walker.
Namely: Even though running backs were valued more highly in 1989 than they are now, Watson still plays the most coveted position in all of sports.
But as the weeks pass and Watson's name continues to be discussed in trade scenarios — including ones with the Vikings — I can't help but think that the haul the Vikings would need to include to get Watson seems to be increasing.
