Before trading for quarterback Matt Ryan, the Indianapolis Colts reportedly attempted to reach out to speak with Deshaun Watson’s camp about a potential trade for the 26-year-old.
The Houston Texans denied that request to speak with Watson. There was no way the Texans were going to let the Colts even entertain the notion of trading within the division.
Watson wound up choosing the Cleveland Browns as his destination, which led to the Colts acquiring the aforementioned Ryan. But it was still a bit peculiar that the Colts even reached out to Watson.
