New York Giants owner John Mara made it pretty clear that his franchise would not be the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, and he made no bones about it.
According to CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, the Giants don’t want to trade for the Houston Texans’ quarterback due to his being named as a defendant in a lawsuit wherein 22 women allege he committed sexual assault.
“We’re not trading for Deshaun Watson,” Mara said when asked of speculation linking the former Pro Bowler to New York. “There are so many reasons why we wouldn’t do that. Cap-wise, we couldn’t afford it, but more importantly, with the allegations that are out there right now, that’s just not the right fit for us.”
