It has been widely reported that the Philadelphia Eagles were, and remain, interested in Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Mike Fisher of 105.3 The Fan and SI.com reiterated the report that the Eagles "remain interested" in Watson and explained that Philadelphia could acquire him, but still keep young QB Jalen Hurts.
"[A trade] could also be executed in a way that for Philadelphia comes a) cheaper than it otherwise would have, b) with Hurts still the starter should Watson be suspended for part of the 2021 season and c) maybe with contingencies attached to the picks, just as the Wentz trade has attached," Fisher writes.

On March 22nd, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle mentioned the Eagles in a bunch of teams still interested in Watson despite the 22 civil lawsuits pending against him alleging sexual misconduct.
While Watson does not face any criminal charges — at least not yet — the NFL’s own investigation into the matter could result in discipline of the quarterback prior to whether or not the lawsuits are settled.
Watson, 25, is one of the best quarterbacks in the league who is in the prime of his career but has not been happy about the direction the Houston Texans are taking and demanded to be traded.
