According to a report, Texans' quarterback Deshaun Watson has requested a trade and wants out of Houston.
The news is drawing speculation across the NFL as to where the 25-year-old will end up next year, including in Pittsburgh.
Fan Morning Show co-host Chris Mack has an interesting proposal for the Texans, three first round picks and two swap first round picks over the next five season.
The deal would involve the Steelers getting Watson and the Texans' getting Pittsburgh's first round picks in 2021,2023 and 2025.
In 2022 and 2024, Houston would the higher pick of the two teams.
Watson reportedly told management weeks ago that he wanted to be traded.
t's not as if this is earth-shattering news at this point. Whoever became the head coach — the Texans ultimately went with David Culley — wasn't expected to change Watson's mentality of seeking solace elsewhere. There has been buzz surrounding several potential suitors, including the Jets, Dolphins, Bears, Cowboys and more, none of which would have been occurring at such a high level if not for the impending likelihood of his trade request. And we also shouldn't have been too hopeful that a player whose anger level was at a "10" would find some way to stick around.
Watson, the Texans' first-round draft pick in 2017, will likely finish his career in Houston with a 28-25 regular season record, 14,539 passing yards, 104 passing touchdowns, 36 interceptions, 1,677 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns across 53 starts.
Rapoport also reports that Watson would have to agree to the team he goes to since he has a no-trade clause.
