Deshaun Watson is currently in the midst of battling 22 different sexual assault lawsuits, but that has not stopped his name from trending when it comes to his eventual trade.
While the Texans weren’t too keen on trading the star, they have since softened their stance, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer. The Eagles, in the wake of the Carson Wentz debacle, surfaced as one of the teams around the league with an interest in trading for Watson as their next franchise QB.
“They weren’t open to trade talks unless somebody was going to give them a ridiculous trade offer, more than six draft picks,” Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. “They’ve already been offered three ones and three threes and wanted more than that. However, I was told in the past week, their stance started to soften a little bit with that.”
Immediately after his report, fans of the Eagles saw the NFL Insider at the airpirt and they both got their hearts broken.
“Going through the airport, two different Eagles fans came over asking if Eagles were trying to get in Deshaun Watson trade. Nope, not in the in the mix this time. I couldn’t tell if they were pissed or happy bc of the colorful words,” Glazer said.
