The Deshaun Watson rumors are heating up, and one team that seems to consistently emerging as a possible landing spot is the San Francisco 49ers.
Kyle Shanahan’s team certainly has a lot of assets to offer, including draft picks and a ton of elite young assets. Among them are Nick Bosa, and according to recent reports, even the pass rushing phenom is not off limits in a deal for Watson.
Just how accurate these reports are remains to be seen, but if it meant getting one of the league’s top young quarterbacks to pair with George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, it wouldn’t shock me to see the Niners part ways with the 2019 second overall pick.
The Niners are currently have the third-best odds to have Watson under center for the 2021 season, behind Houston and Miami.
You can only expect the tumors to heat up from here, as Watson continued to voice his displeasure with the Texans organization.
