Houston Chronicle -- Desahaun Watson shredded what could possibly be his new team this past week. He threw for a career high 341 yards, and four total touchdowns. Could this have been the tryout that Tennessee needed to convince them to pull the trigger on a mega-deal?
New ownership of the Houston Texans have wasted no time in implementing their blueprint for the team. Sources say, they would like to move on from superstar receiver DeAndre Hopkins, young defensive prodigy and cornerstone linebacker, Bernardrick McKinney, and first round pick Deshaun Watson. With a team who is poised to develop into a solid team in the immediate future, why entertain such offers? Word has it, that they are attempting to work a rare in-division trade with the Tennessee Titans for a package that features Marcus Mariotta. This means undoing what that the former regime (who gave so much in the draft to obtain Deshaun Watson) has done. Ties, comfortability, and recouping a first round draft pick seems to be the motivation.
Will the Watson to Hopkins connection continue in Tennessee? Will Mariotta and rumored offensive lineman be what the Texans need to take the next step forward? You be the judge.
