Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson has requested a trade. Watson wants out so bad that, according to Chris Simms, that he is willing to sit out next season if he is not traded. Watson is now the most sought after player of the offseason.
Watson would instantly make any team a Super Boiwl contender, a lot like Tom Brady. There are only two or three teams that would not need Watson to be there start. two are in the Super Bowl. Rumors are swirling all over the NFL as to where the 25-year old QB will end up. Unfortunately, we may not find out until the 2021 NFL Draft.
The price tag for Watson will be steep, but he is worth it. So let's play what if. What if the Arizona Cardinals were offered Deshaun Watson for Kyler Murray straight up?
Most people would make the deal or at least give it some serious thought. Me... I would not take the deal unless I was going to do complete overhaul of the team. By that I mean new coach, new General Manager and of course a new QB.
But seriously, if you were going to do that you would have to start all over again, which could mean waiting another year or two to make the playoffs. The Cardinals started a rebiulding process when they hired Kingsbury and drafted Murray.
The Cardinals will make the playoffs next year and compete for a Super Bowl the year after. If you bring Watson in now, you start that process all over.
Watson has history with DeAndre Hopkins but will have to work on timing with his new receivers. In my opinion the Cardinals are better off with Kyler Murray than Deshaun Watson.
