Steelers Have Second Best Odds To Land Deshaun Watson

Now that young star quarterback Deshaun Watson will not be brought up on legal charges, the buzz surrounding his impending trade is the hot topic of the NFL. Many analysts are speculating where he is going to land. One of the most controversial landing spots is none other than the Pittsburgh Steelers. There is a lot of back and forth. Some analysts are saying this is where Watson wants to go, others are saying the team has no plans on pursuing.

Regardless of this, Action Network has the Steelers as the team with the second best odds to land Watson:

Watson would surely cost a pretty penny in return. Pittsburgh definitely can not offer the Houston Texans what some other teams can. However, if this is where Watson wants to go, he ultimately has the final say. He has a no trade clause that only he can wave.

It’s no secret at this point that Watson has wanted to play for Brian Flores who is now the Senior Defensive Assistant for Pittsburgh. Although he may not be there for long, the connection is there. This could be why Action Network has Pittsburgh with the second highest odds to land Watson.

If Watson landed in Pittsburgh, he would have a pretty decent set up. A top defense, and some solid weapons to say the least. He would have Diontae Johnson, Pat Freiermuth, and potentially Chase Claypool (unless he were part of the package) to throw to, and Najee Harris toting the ball. Not a bad setup by any means.

There may be other suitors, but it’s hard to argue that Pittsburgh isn’t a good place for Watson to end up. They have the pieces to win now, and the competition is at an all time high not just in the AFC North, but the entire AFC. Time will tell where Watson ends up, but it sure would be sweet to see him in the black and gold for years to come.
