This is huge for the quarterback and teams interested in trading for him. The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumored to be among those teams according to Shaun King. It has been said he wanted to play for Steelers Defensive Assistant Brian Flores while he was head coach in Miami.

Watson did not play a single snap last year for Houston. He has made it known he will not play for the Texans, and wants a fresh start somewhere else. Now that Watson is cleared of criminal charges, the rumors and offers will be piling in. Houston will be asking for a haul for him, but teams will be willing to pay up for his talent.
Only time will tell if Pittsburgh is going to make a serious run for the young quarterback or not.
