Is Belichick holding up a potential Watson deal?

Trade speculation, reports and rumors surrounding former Clemson and current Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson are heating up.

The Miami Dolphins have reportedly emerged as the frontrunner in trade discussions for Watson, with the Texans reportedly seeking three first-round picks and a pair of second-round picks in return.

Of course, Watson’s legal issues have complicated matters and slowed down the process of a potential trade involving Watson. But what might be another reason it is taking so long?

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick might be indirectly holding up a Watson trade.
