Jason La Canfora, Jeff McLane, Peter King, and now you can add ESPN's Dianna Russini to the list of NFL reporters that are saying the Philadelphia Eagles could be the team that acquires Texans QB Deshaun Watson.
"Trading is on the table, they're open to it...[the Texans have] changed their tune," Russini said on 98.7FM ESPN New York. "I've heard and then even just continuously talking to them, that it's still on the table. Even though they've got to deal with these law suits, I think that's going to go away and I think that's going to come to light this summer, guys. And I think the Eagles could be a team in on it."
Complicating the Watson situation is the sexual assault allegations against the 25-year-old three-time Pro Bowl QB, something the NFL has begun investigating. Watson has strongly denied the allegations. The Eagles would have to feel very comfortable trading for Watson if they were going to trade the assets it would take to make him their new franchise quarterback.
