Texans and Dolphins Reportedly Close to a Deshaun Watson Trade

The Deshaun Watson commerce rumors are again. Or possibly they ever actually left? I suppose we will say they quieted down for a bit, with out ever truly going away. In any case, John McClain has a new report on the potential way forward for Watson this afternoon, and it appears to be a little bit of a whammy.

Early immediately, McClain wrote that the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins are near a deal for the quarterback, even as Watson faces numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. So shut are they to a commerce, in reality, that a deal is perhaps performed as early as the top of THIS WEEK (or as late because the Nov. 2 NFL commerce deadline), in accordance with the veteran scribe.

McClain described the Dolphins loss in London to Jacksonville as a tipping level of their dedication to re-engage in talks with the Texans which were stalled for a while.

“The Dolphins have been speaking to the Texans about Watson on and off for months, and people talks have intensified into critical negotiations. After dropping to Jacksonville in London — their fifth consecutive loss — the Dolphins appear extra decided to lastly execute the Watson commerce.”

Clearly, we’ll keep on this story and replace you as quickly as there’s some motion, however this might be your warning to be on excessive alert.

In the meantime, this information spurs the subsequent logical query: What occurs to Tua Tagovailoa after such a commerce? There was a minimum of one little bit of fallout on Twitter this afternoon.

Per supply, Broncos not in on Tua Tagovailoa both, by the way in which. #9sports
