Deshaun Watson Trade Rumors: Saints, Panthers Made Offers, Likely to Meet with QB

The market for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is heating up.

The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers have reportedly made offers for Watson and are expected to meet with him soon, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

"Other teams also are involved," Rapoport wrote. "Watson has a no-trade clause and wants to meet with teams before formally waiving it anywhere."

The Texans are expected to allow Watson to speak with interested teams, and the asking price still includes three first-round picks and other assets, Pelissero added.

The market for Watson is growing after it was announced that he would not be facing criminal charges in connection with the sexual assault and misconduct allegations against him.

Watson still faces 22 civil cases, and the NFL is conducting its own investigation, so he could still be suspended under the personal conduct policy.
