Rapoport: NFL teams calling about Deshaun Watson despite Texans saying nothing about trade

Deshaun Watson is not a happy quarterback. That is no secret and, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, teams are reaching out to the Houston Texans to find out if the star player might become available.

While Rapoport doesn't specifically mention the San Francisco 49ers, oddsmakers have given the Bay Area squad the third-best chance to have Watson on its roster at the start of the 2021 season. Of course, the Texans remain the favorite to have Watson for Week 1.

Watson is not happy after the Texans asked for his involvement in the team's search for a new general manager and head coach. Then, members of the team's brass ignored the quarterback's suggestions and are now trying to find a way to mend the relationship with their disgruntled player.

"As these rumors have percolated, as more and more people have talked about what is going to happen with Deshaun Watson, teams have started calling, as you would expect, saying, 'Hey, is this guy actually available?'" Rapoport said on NFL Network's Good Morning Football. "'Could we actually trade for Deshaun Watson?'

"Now, a couple of things I want to say that are important. First of all, the owner, Cal McNair, and no one inside the Texans organization has actually said they would trade Deshaun Watson. He has also not asked for a trade. However, that has not stopped teams from calling, and it hasn't stopped people from speculating."

Rapoport mentioned the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins as potential trade partners for the Texans, should the team eventually look to move on from Watson. He also suggests keeping an eye on the Carolina Panthers as a potential destination.

Defensive tackle Arik Armstead is now a free agent after the San Francisco 49ers released him on Wednesday. However, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that he was almost headed to the Houston Texans.
