The Patriots might actually have an advantage in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, according to one former NFL executive.
In a segment on ESPN’s “Get Up!” on Monday, former Jets general manager and former Dolphins executive vice president Mike Tannenbaum said Nick Caserio’s working history with Bill Belichick could help the Patriots in a potential trade for Watson.
“Absolutely,” Tannenbaum said when asked if the working history between Caserio and Belichick makes it possible for a Watson trade to happen. “And Bill Belichick, what is he? He’s opportunistic. So, if he had to give up multiple first-round picks, maybe a really good player, they have a couple they can move from, that if they can get Deshaun Watson, it can transform their organization over the next 10 years.
