Odds Shark shared the most recent odds for which team would have quarterback Deshaun Watson on its roster at the start of the 2021 season. Just days ago, Bovada gave the San Francisco 49ers the third-best odds to end up with Watson. Oddsmakers now have four teams — the Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and Chicago Bears — ahead of San Francisco.
Below are the 10 teams with the best odds of having Watson as their Week 1 starter, according to Bovada.
Texans +170
Dolphins +300
Jets +300
Bears +500
49ers +900
Patriots +1000
Colts +1400
Washington +2000
Eagles +2500
Lions +3500
The Texans remain the favorite despite Watson making it clear that his preference is to depart the organization that made him the No. 12 overall pick in 2017. The team and its frustrated player are not seeing eye-to-eye, and the relationship may be beyond repair. Watson has not officially requested a trade, nor have the Texans declared that such a move would be considered.
The two teams that have jumped ahead of the 49ers since the weekend when it comes to the odds are the Jets and Bears.
