Deshaun Watson Reportedly to Meet with Panthers, Saints in Next 48 Hours

Deshaun Watson is on the move.

Watson wants to meet with teams interested in trading for him before any deal moves forward.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Watson is expected to meet with the Panthers and Saints in the next 48 hours. The report also suggests other teams could be added to the mix as well, but the two NFC South teams have been closely linked to a Watson pursuit for some time.

Texans’ QB Deshaun Watson is expected to meet in the next 48 hours with the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, amongst other teams, per league sources. Watson wants to meet with them just as they want to meet with him before trade talks ramp up.

Everything changed for Watson’s potential NFL future last Friday when a grand jury did not indict Watson on any criminal charges.

Even though Watson still faces civil lawsuits related to the sexual misconduct allegations, it appears teams aren’t worried about that as much as they were the criminal charges.

Watson could also face NFL discipline, so there’s that.

Clearly football trumps all. As long as you’re great that is.
