The Carolina Panthers are extremely interested in Deshaun Watson. For the past 14 months since Watson originally requested a trade from the Houston Texans, Panthers’ owner David Tepper has been less than shy in his craze to acquire the 26-year-old quarterback.
For Carolina, Watson represents the best young quarterback in the NFC, a decade worth of playoff contention, and the potential to dominate an NFC South conference that is in shambles following the departure of Tom Brady from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In short, everything Houston once felt they had upon extending their franchise signal caller in the summer of 2020 is now available for a new franchise. Last year, North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance went for three first round selections. A young quarterback that is guaranteed to hit, with a bevy of NFL success already under his belt, promises to gather much more.
