San Francisco, New York and Indianapolis get excited … Warren Moon account TMZ Sports he believes 49ers, Jets and Colts are the pioneers in landing Deshaun Watson!!!
The Texans QB officially wants to leave Houston … according to several reports, the 25-year-old broke up the team after a rivalry with executives and demanded an exchange.
It is not clear whether Texans will yield to the request – considering, you know, the QB is incredible – but if they do, Moon says he believes the Jets, Colts and 49ers are the most likely trading partners.
As to why, Moon says to the Niners, Watson could be a big upgrade if the team moves on Jimmy Garoppolo.
With the Colts – Lua says replacing Philip Rivers with Watson it is a no-brainer … although he wonders if the Texans are open to cross-division trade.
As for the Jets, Moon tells us that Watson would fit very well there … given the New York media market and the promise of new head coach Robert Saleh.
(We know Brandon Marshall Certainly agree with that!!!)

Moon says he is hopeful that, once an exchange is completed, Houston will learn from it and realize that if he gets another QB star, it needs to be built around him and make him the centerpiece of the team right away.
“Hopefully, the organization will get a hint that we have to do a better job going forward,” says Moon. “We have to go looking for another first division quarterback and build a team around this guy so we don’t end up losing him next time.”
“So I hope it will be a lesson learned by the organization as they go along.”
