NFL pundit calls on Dolphins to make Deshaun Watson trade

Sep 24, 2021, 1:58 PM

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio wrote a column Friday calling on the Miami Dolphins to trade for Deshaun Watson, who he reports are the NFL team most interested in making that deal.

"Dolphins owner Stephen Ross wants Deshaun Watson. Even with 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and 10 criminal complaints, Ross wants Watson. (And Ross is not happy, we’re told, that word has trickled out regarding his desire to land Watson.)"

Florio describes a divided front office that pits the Dolphins owner against his employees on the cost of such a trade (reportedly three first-round picks and two second-round picks).

"Like most owners not named Jerry Jones, Ross insists that he doesn’t directly meddle in football decisions. He doesn’t have to. Those who work for him (and who hope to continue to do so) should be smart enough to figure out what he wants without him having to order a Code Red.

"So go ahead, Steve. Say whatever you need to say to send the message to G.M. Chris Grier to break the impasse and get the guy you want. Nice things are expensive. And it would be very nice for the Dolphins to finally have a franchise quarterback.

"Even the most ardent member of the Tua Mafia would have to admit that the Dolphins don’t have one. With a phone call, they can get one."

ESPN's Ed Werder reported Thursday that sources told him that Deshaun Watson "remains committed to forcing his exit from Houston, no matter how long that might take." Per that report, Watson could make $10 million while sitting this year and an additional $30 million for sitting out next year.
