Despite national media reports to the contrary, Shaun King, originator of the Deshaun Watson to Pittsburgh rumors, is doubling down on his initial Wednesday report, still beleiving Watson will end up with the Steelers. Following Friday’s news that Watson’s criminal charges have been dropped, he is almost certainly going to be traded within the next few days. And King, as he said earlier in the week, believes Watson will end up a Steeler.
He appeared on VSiNLive to double-down on that belief.
“Absolutely, and this was the first domino that had to fall,” King said.
