Several teams are expected to make aggressive runs at acquiring Deshaun Watson this offseason if the Houston Texans aren’t able to mend fences with their disgruntled franchise quarterback.

From the New York Jets debating their future with Sam Darnold under center to the prospect of Watson joining Bill Belichick in New England, more than half the NFL will enter the offseason with legitimate questions about who will start at quarterback in Week 1. That includes a couple of teams coming off playoff seasons.

Or Will Deshaun Return To Houston Texans?

The Jets also have the shortest odds to land Watson at +500 by DraftKings. However, the book still expects him to stay put, with the Texans being offered at -125 as the team Watson takes his first snap for next season.

Watson is reportedly unhappy with the Texans not consulting with him before hiring new general manager Nick Caserio. His issue reportedly isn’t with Caserio personally, but rather that owner Cal McNair didn’t vet any of Watson’s recommendations to be interviewed for the position before he learned about Caserio’s hiring on social media.



Watson’s issues with a lack of communication with the front office go back at least a year, when he said he wasn’t told that star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was going to be traded.

In four seasons with the Texans, Watson has thrown for 14,539 yards and 104 touchdowns. He has also rushed for 1,677 yards and 17 scores.

The Texans finished 4-12 this season and missed the postseason for the second time in Watson’s tenure with the team. Watson threw for a league-high and franchise record 4,823 yards to go with 33 touchdowns. He also rushed for 444 yards and three scores.

Watson was the Texans’ first-round draft choice (12th overall) in 2017.
