When the Houston Texans reportedly set a steep asking price for any possible Deshaun Watson trade, one team immediately jumped out as a suitor that could meet that price.
They have the quarterback void, the draft-pick ammunition, the salary-cap space and the motivation to make such a move. And Watson, according to one report, has the Jets high on his list, assuming the Texans are prepared to move him after new Texans general manager Nick Caserio initially quashed the idea of Watson being dealt.
Once news of what it might take to pry him loose got out this weekend, it was a sign that the Texans might be resigned to making such a deal if the relationship with Watson was irreparable.
