Deshaun Watson Rumors: Falcons 'Sleeper Team' to Trade for Texans QB

Add the Atlanta Falcons to the growing list of teams interested in trading for Deshaun Watson.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, the Falcons have "emerged as a sleeper team" in talks for the 26-year-old quarterback.

The Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns are among the other teams that have met with or shown interest in acquiring Watson from the Houston Texans.

Schefter added that Falcons owner Arthur Blank is "fond" of Watson from when he worked as a ball boy for the team when he was in high school, and Watson developed a relationship with Blank's family.
