The Seahawks are in the market for a new starting quarterback and they have their eye on a polarizing target. Yesterday, we learned the Texans’ star QB Deshaun Watson will not face any criminal charges resulting from the numerous accusations of sexual misconduct he’s faced. That opens the bidding for a bunch of NFL teams that are looking to find a new QB1 between now and September.
Watson is the most-talented QB that will change teams this year and the competition to trade for him will be fierce, regardless of what he’s done off the field. According to a report by Aaron Wilson, the Seahawks and the Panthers are expected to be the top contenders to land Watson.
Ultimately, sources predict Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks to be the top contenders for Deshaun Watson in prospective trade. Importance of no-trade clause in his $156 million contract can't be overstated enough. Fluid situation on destination of three-time Pro Bowl passer
