Deshaun Watson has not officially requested an exchange amid reports that he is very unhappy with his organization.
Fox Sports analyst Jason McIntyre was on Colin Cowherd’s program on Friday and said the Carolina Panthers are a team that Watson would be open to playing for if he waived the no-trade clause.
“While I was preparing for this segment, I received a message from someone influential in the league saying that the team I heard about is the Carolina Panthers, a deep sleeper for Deshaun Watson,” said McIntyre. “Apparently, he’s telling some people that he wouldn’t mind going home. He grew up in Atlanta, about four hours from Carolina, and Matt Rhule set up a very good base there in Carolina. They have a lot of good offensive weapons.
“Stay tuned for Carolina. I’m on the Jets train. The league would love that. But stay tuned for Carolina.”
Watson signed a four-year, $ 156 million extension in September to make him the highest-paid player in the league during that time.
