On the surface, the trade would seemingly make so much sense for everyone involved.
The Jets would be trading three picks this year, but they get a bonafide star at the QB position, which automatically puts them in contention for the AFC East title.
The 49ers get a budding superstar in Deshaun Watson, while only coming off of two draft picks.
The Seahawks, who for some odd reason seem to be set on not letting Russ run the show, would get a top-tier game manager in Jimmy G while adding a legit piece to their defense. Adding Bosa to the defense would possibly set up for the Seahawks defense to once again dominate while their offense holds it down.
Lastly, the Texans; they seemingly went all in when they traded three picks for Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills. But after bowing out to the Bills in the first round in 2019, they traded Deandre Hopkins to recover some draft picks lost in the Stills, Tunsil trade… lets just say that didn’t work out. They fired O’Brien, their head coach/GM, they finished with just four wins this season, the Miami Dolphins own their first-round pick and now their star quarterback is demanding a trade.
The Houston Texans probably stand to gain the absolute most from this trade, but it is one that could be argued that makes as much sense for every other team involved.
However, a four team blockbuster involving the movement of four starting quarterbacks, five first-round picks, and another second-round pick has never happened. Not to mention the number of people that would have to agree to solidify this, it’s far from a slam dunk, but we will see what happens in the coming days.
