Deshaun Watson is a franchise changer and shortly he will be changing franchises. Every team in the NFL who needs a quarterback should be lining up at the Houston Texans’ doorstep with tradable assets. Watson has a no-trade clause so he will be able to speak into where he goes.
Watson has already been linked to the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, but teams like the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears will more than likely take an interest.
The real question is who blinks first?
If I was the Texans I’d stand pat and see what Watson does. If he refuses to play that is a whole lot of money he is risking. If he openly tanks like James Harden it would hurt his reputation and his teammates wouldn’t respect him.
The Texans have more leverage than people think.
