With two months until the 2021 NFL draft, it’s unclear how a potential trade for star quarterback Deshaun Watson would unfold — and particularly if the Miami Dolphins are involved.
Watson has reiterated his desire to leave the Houston Texans to team officials, while they have countered publicly by saying they won’t trade the budding, 25-year-old star entering his prime.
The Texans would likely yield greater value from a Watson trade before the draft, which the Dolphins could be major players in with the third overall pick among their four in the top-50 selections.
A Dolphins trade for Watson likely results in Miami parting with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after a season and multiple draft picks, but there is still a significant amount of time the Dolphins must navigate this offseason before any decisions are made regarding the franchise’s future.
