The Atlanta Falcons have emerged as a sleeper team in pursuit of Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, league sources told ESPN.
The Falcons join the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns as teams that have met with or are interested in trading for Watson.
"All options are open ... but it's not going to be easy," a Falcons source said in regards to a potential Watson trade.
Another source described the Falcons as a "longshot" to land Watson, however the team still has not met with Watson, but could have the chance to persuade him in person.
