The Houston Texans have had “internal conversations about possible trade partners” for disgruntled quarterback Deshaun Watson, according to a report from ESPN. That’s exactly the news Las Vegas has wanted to hear.
Oddsmakers have already given odds for Watson’s potential next team, and the Denver Broncos have the fourth-best odds. Here’s a look at the 13 teams with the best odds, according to SportsBetting.com.
1. New York Jets 2/1
2. Miami Dolphins 3/1
3. Chicago Bears 4/1
4. Denver Broncos 5/1
T-5. Indianapolis Colts 8/1
T-5. New England Patriots 8/1
7. Philadelphia Eagles 10/1
T-8. Carolina Panthers 12/1
T-8. Washington Football Team 12/1
T-8. Detroit Lions 12/1
T-8. Las Vegas Raiders 12/1
T-12. New Orleans Saints 15/1
T-12. Jacksonville Jaguars 15/1
The Jets could offer the No. 2 overall pick and young quarterback Sam Darnold (and more). The Dolphins could offer the No. 3 and No. 18 overall picks and young quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (and more). Those early picks and QBs might be more enticing than Denver’s No. 9 pick and Drew Lock (and more).
Even if the Broncos aren’t the favorite to acquire Watson, new general manager George Paton should call to gauge Houston’s interest in a potential trade. Trading for Watson would be a great way for Paton to begin his GM tenure in Denver.
