I’m told QB Deshaun Watson has interest in the Atlanta Falcons and has even reached out to the franchise personally, per source.

Gross!

Also, not super smart on his part to drive up prices (aka assets he will have to play with once he’s traded). Unless he is just trying to undermine Matt Ryan’s relationship with atlanta.

He’s got a house in Atlanta. I suspect it’s his first choice.

Seems like a courtesy meeting. Don’t think they can afford him and MR but who knows I guess.

Lol enjoy having zero receivers. Their only one just left for the Bucs.

Him personally reaching out to them doesn’t sound like a courtesy meeting

Can he even do that? Thought you had to contact team first to talk to a contracted player. Whatever though

If that is what he bases his decision on then for my part they can have his stupid arse.

Now I’m REALLY questioning his judgment.

I’d like to hear how they would navigate around Matt Ryan’s cap numbers

It doesn't seem very possible.

I really don't get this one. I get Watson is from the area and has a house in ATL, but the cap logistics Atlanta would have to pull off would be unreal, not to mention they are a really weak team so whatever they would have to give up to get him would cripple them even further.

Maybe he just wanted to explore it since its his hometown team essentially but knows its unlikely.

Regardless, he's looking for someone other than us if it's true. Was the SF rumor bc Watson was trying to meet with them? He's still shopping, so we better be prepared

He’s just wasting everyone’s time now. Hurry up and say he wants to go to NOLA and let’s move on with this offseason.

This saga needs to hurry up so we can get a better idea/outlook on the off-season
