The problem with trading what it would "hypothetically" take to get Deshaun Watson is that you create an "out of the frying pan, into the fire" scenario where you once again have him having to carry a team with a talent deficit, and with no draft picks to fix it.

The 25-year-old Watson signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension with the Texans in September 2020, meaning he is under contract through the 2025 season.

During the 2020 season, Watson completed 70.2 percent of his passes for an NFL-leading 4,823 yards, as well as 33 touchdowns and a career-low seven interceptions.
