Watson’s immediate future is one of the most exciting off-season news.
The quarterback of the Houston Texans, Deshaun Watson, is not happy with the path the organization is following after the departure of Bill O’Brien. That has been widely published in the NFL world. What’s new is that the superstar would already have two teams on his preference list to be redeemed.
According to the columnist of Miami Herald, Armando Salguero, Watson’s first choice would be the New York Jets; the second, the Miami dolphins.
The reason would be that the Jets signed Robert Saleh to be their head coach, a character that Deshaun Watson I would have asked Texans.
Recently Richard Sherman, who worked with Saleh on the San Francisco 49ers while Robert was the franchise’s defensive coordinator, he gave advice to the still-Texan quarterback.
“I would get out of there ASAP, I would go to New York,” the corner said back on the podcast of Cris Collinsworth.
Dolphins feature Tua Tagovailoa, which was recently taken over in the latest version and which closed the season as the starting quarterback in Miami. Recently, the organization’s general manager Chris Grier assured that he will have Tua as his starting quarterback in 2021.
Tagovailoa started with nine games last season. In a total of 10 games, the Alabama rookie finished with 186 passes, completed after 290 tries for 1,814 yards and 11 touchdown passes. He was only intercepted five times.
In case of Sam Darnold apparently it is less solid. Saleh admittedly accepted being a good young player, but did not commit to the 23-year-old quarterback.
“We are just unpacking at the facility. So there are many things that need to be evaluated before giving a position on the whole roster, not just the quarterback. Giving you that answer would be unfair. There are many discussions we have to have ”.
The situation with Deshaun Watson is one of the most interesting stories to follow in the low season. One thing seems certain: he will stay in the American Conference.
