The Houston Texans may have another trade partner in the NFC South for quarterback Deshaun Watson.
According to the Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson via Luke Easterling of the Bucs Wire, the Buccaneers have emerged as a team interested in the three-time Pro Bowler.
The interest in Watson has heated up after a Harris County grand jury declined to indict him following criminal complaints to the Houston Police Department accusing him of sexual assault. Watson is still the defendant in a civil suit wherein 22 women have made the same allegations. The NFL is conducting their own parallel investigation to determine whether Watson violated the league’s personal conduct policy and if any punitive action will be carried out.
