Things could (reportedly) get extremely interesting for the AFC East — including the Patriots — by the end of this week.
Whispers out of Houston suggest the Texans are in “serious” discussions to trade star quarterback Deshaun Watson to the Miami Dolphins — one of New England’s division rivals — possibly by the end of the week.
A Watson-to-Miami trade reportedly isn’t imminent yet, and the reports (largely coming from Houston) could be seen as an attempt to sweeten the deal before the Texans part ways with their quarterback.
But the two sides have been heading for a breakup for a while.
