The Houston Texans have no plans to trade Deshaun Watson this offseason. However, if they change their mind, at least one NFL team is expected to make a strong push for the star quarterback.
Chris Simms of NBC Sports believes the Dolphins will go "all-in" for Watson if he's made available.
"I do think that Miami is going to go all-in on trying to get Deshaun Watson. I do," he said on Tuesday's ProFootballTalk Live podcast. "I got that sense from people I trust around the league. So I don't look at them as drafting a quarterback."
The Dolphins still aren't sure Tua Tagovailoa can lead them to a Super Bowl title after an up-and-down 2020 season, and Watson has a much higher ceiling than the Alabama product.
If Miami is truly "all-in" on Watson, the Dolphins will likely have to package the No. 3 and No. 18 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft to land him.
Several other teams are also reportedly interested in making a serious run for Watson, including the New York Jets, who also have two first-round picks in 2021. So if the Dolphins really want him, they could end up in a bidding war.
Watson's preferred destinations are reportedly the Jets and Dolphins, so things could get quite interesting this offseason.
