After months of trade rumors surrounding Deshaun Watson, the Houston Texans Pro Bowl quarterback might finally be heading to Miami.
NFL reporter Mark Berman of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans are working on a potential trade with the Dolphins, and that could be completed as early as this week.
“Texans are working toward a potential deal that would send Deshaun Watson to the Miami Dolphins that could get done this week,” Berman tweeted. “If not this week they still hope they can get it done before the Nov. 2 trade deadline.”
The news arrives just two months after it was announced that a Texas grand jury would reportedly consider criminal charges against Watson, who is accused of multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
The 26-year-old is facing 10 criminal complaints and nearly two dozen lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and assault. Numerous female massage therapists say the alleged assaults and misconduct occurred during separate massage sessions throughout 2020. Watson is accused of making inappropriate comments, exposing himself, and forcing a woman into oral sex. However, he has denied the accusations, claiming any sexual encounters with the massage therapists were consensual.
Watson has yet to play a game this season.
