Deshaun Watson's trade request sets up a feeding frenzy unlike any the NFL has seen before

Deshaun Watson has “formally” requested that the Houston Texans deal him to a new team which, barring some unforeseen restoration of relations, sets in motion what should be the biggest trade in NFL history.

The NFL Network should make it a reality show: “Billion Dollar Listing: Houston.”

Watson is a 25-year-old superstar with impeccable leadership skills. He’s the definition of a franchise quarterback — on the field, in the locker room and around the community.

He played hard and hurt last season for a dysfunctional, losing team that traded away his best receiver and fired its coach.
