Multiple teams reportedly offered three first-rounders for Deshaun Watson |
Multiple NFL teams offered a plethora of draft picks and players for Houston Texans quarterback
Deshaun Watson before last week's trade deadline.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero had the latest trade talk about Watson. "Sources say the Texans have continued to seek five or six assets, including at least three unconditional first-round picks, plus additional high picks and/or premium players," Pelissero said. "And multiple teams were willing to meet that price, provided that certain aspects of Watson's legal situation were resolved. But there was no settlement in his civil cases, and the police investigation remained open when Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline passed." Watson currently faces 22 civil suits and ten criminal complaints alleging sexual misconduct. He currently is eligible to play as NFL commish Roger Goodell has not placed Watson on the Commissioner's Exempt List. It appears likely that Watson won't be playing this season in the NFL, but he will still collect his $10 million salary from the Texans.
