Falcons emerge as sleeper team to acquire Deshaun Watson, per source

When the Atlanta Falcons reworked Matt Ryan‘s deal last week, many assumed the team was sticking by the veteran quarterback for another year at the very least. That may not be the case, though.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Falcons have emerged as a sleeper to acquire Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank is fond of Deshaun Watson from the days when the former Gainesville (Ga) High quarterback worked multiple years as a Falcons’ ball boy and developed a relationship with Blank's family. https://t.co/EypxrnF9ma
