Deshaun Watson rumors: Eagles among team continuing to monitor a potential trade for Texans QB

As the Eagles proceed with their offseason and make plans for the 2021 NFL Draft, the presence of a potential trade for Deshaun Watson still looms.

Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle is reporting that Philadelphia is among the teams monitoring the quarterback’s legal situation while continuing to do due diligence on a possible trade.

Several NFL teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins, are monitoring the latest Watson legal developments, which have complicated any efforts to trade for him. The Texans, according to sources, haven’t engaged in trade discussions and have been in more of a listening mode as they concentrate on overhauling their roster following a 4-12 season.

It makes you believe that if not for Watson’s legal situation, the Eagles may have already pulled the trigger on a deal for the Texans’ star.

The due diligence is normal and a part of the process with the Eagles, but the fact that Philadelphia is still being linked to Watson despite the legal matters, lets you know that the franchise still isn’t completely sold on Jalen Hurts as the quarterback going forward.
