Since declaring that he wants out of Houston, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been rumored to a lot of places, including the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year old signal-caller is already one of the best quarterbacks, and people in this league and any team would be lucky to have him under center for the next ten-plus years.

Houston is likely going to request a fortune to get Watson in a trade, as he is under contract for a few more years, after just signing a monster deal. He has the ability to attack defenses with his arm, and his legs, and could be headed towards the Hall of Fame.

For Houston to get rid of Watson would be a total mistake, but as it looks now, he has no plans on playing for the Texans anymore. The problem stems from the owner, who apparently promised Watson he could have a say in the team’s decisions when it came to adding a new general manager and head coach.

With those ties severed, Watson wants out, and recently, a report came out that Watson would prefer to land in Denver as one of his potential spots, which would be an absolute nightmare for the Raiders.
