As the Eagles get closer to Week 1 of the NFL regular season, rumors surrounding Philadelphia’s interest in landing Deshaun Watson continue to mount, with one CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst jumping out on a limb.
According to CBS Sports Chris Trapasso, talks are reportedly “heating up” between the Eagles and Texans.
Former Houston Chronicle beat report Aaron Wilson disputed that claim, referring to Watson’s ‘no-trade clause’ and lingering legal issues as a holdup to any deal happening before a settlement is made in the case.
No trade imminent or developing at this time for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, according to league sources. While there is interest and teams are conducting extensive due diligence, complex legal situation, no-trade clause are all difficult factors to work through still.

It has been reported that Howie Roseman would give up anything to land Watson, while Jalen Hurts has continued to go about business as usual, leading the Eagles and improving on a daily basis.
