As Deshaun Watson’s legal situation remains unsolved, NFL teams may move forward with pursuing a trade for him, anyway. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reports “multiple teams” could be interested in trading for Watson even if there is no resolution in Watson’s civil cases.
Watson, who didn’t play in an NFL game in 2021, has been accused of sexual misconduct by 22 women. He is currently facing 22 civil lawsuits and 10 criminal lawsuits, and Florio reports that as long as Watson’s criminal charges are resolved, teams may take the risk of trading for the Texans’ quarterback.
