Now Is Not the Time for Deshaun Watson Trade Speculation

Here’s another attempt—if you haven’t been warned already—to convince you that it’s far too early to begin devouring Deshaun Watson trade destination posts like a box of guilty-pleasure movie theater candy.

NFL Network reported Monday that the Texans are now open to receiving trade offers for their quarterback who, in case you forgot, is the subject of dozens of lawsuits—right now 22 civil and 10 criminal complaints. While Monday’s report is, technically, new information, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Texans never had a choice, even before the first lawsuits were filed. Watson was determined to finish his career elsewhere.
