The number of NFL teams available for possible trades with the Texans for Deshaun Watson shrank Tuesday when the quarterback-needy Broncos executed a blockbuster trade with the Seahawks that included Russell Wilson.
in a trade package that includes two third-round picks, according to ESPN. The Commanders, who hold the No. 11 pick in the draft, seemed to be one of the teams with the draft capital, player talent and cap space available to pursue a potential trade for Watson. But the addition of Wentz, a 29-year-old former No. 2 overall pick who is now playing for his third team, appears to fulfill the franchise’s search for an upgrade at the position.
Other teams are still in Houston’s potential trade market. The Panthers, Steelers and Buccaneers are among those who could still be looking to trade for a star quarterback before the draft begins April 29. Tampa Bay is searching for a replacement for the retired Tom Brady, and coach Bruce Ariansthat the franchise’s second option, after considering backups Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask, would be trading for a quarterback.
the findings of a Houston Police Department criminal investigation into Watson will be presented to a grand juryTwo other teams eliminated themselves as options last month. The Dolphins, who nearly traded for Watson at last season’s deadline, have eight picks, but general manager Chris Grier told reporters last week “the door is shut on Deshaun.” Giants co-owner John Mara, whose franchise holds two top-10 picks, has also shut down any possibility of trading for Watson.
