The Miami Dolphins were linked to Deshaun Watson right up until the 2021 NFL trade deadline. The deadline passed, and he stayed put with the Houston Texans.The trade rumors seem to be starting up again now that the postseason is getting underway. The quarterback should be traded somewhere given his fractured relationship with the Texans. That place, however, might not be Miami, as that team is standing behind Tua Tagovailoa all of a sudden.Albert Breer@AlbertBreerBrian Flores' doubts in Tua Tagovailoa as a long-term answer in Miami were well-known in the organization, and resulting fraying in their relationship was one of a number of factors in his firing.We'll see who's right. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…Ian Rapoport@RapSheetThe #Dolphins embark on their search for a head coach with the expectation that Tua Tagovailoa is their starter for 2022 — and the plan to build around and support him.My story on what’s next for Miami’s QB: nfl.com/news/dolphins-…10:28 AM · Jan 15, 202213934The #Dolphins embark on their search for a head coach with the expectation that Tua Tagovailoa is their starter for 2022 — and the plan to build around and support him.My story on what’s next for Miami’s QB: nfl.com/news/dolphins-…Brian Flores' doubts in Tua Tagovailoa as a long-term answer in Miami were well-known in the organization, and resulting fraying in their relationship was one of a number of factors in his firing.We'll see who's right. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…Brian Flores may have been Watson's biggest advocate, and now he is looking for a new job. This shakes up the quarterback's trade market and means new teams can jump into the race. So which NFL teams should join in on the quarterback sweepstakes?3 NFL teams that could try to land Deshaun WatsonCleveland Browns v Green Bay Packers#3 - Cleveland BrownsThe Cleveland Browns made it clear they are sticking with Baker Mayfield, for now. He had an injury-riddled 2021 campaign and looked flat out bad throughout the season.Mayfield enters 2022 playing on the final year of his rookie contract. One option for the Browns is to swap him for another established quarterback, or someone like Watson. The Texans would get a year to see what Mayfield could do, and the Browns would get a quarterback who can maximize the talent around him.The only way this potential plan falls apart is if the Browns are set on riding with Mayfield and not having any competition at the position.Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Carolina Panthers#2 - Carolina PanthersThe Carolina Panthers also have a quarterback who is playing on a fifth-year option in 2022. Sam Darnold did not show much promise in his first year with the team, which is what led the Panthers to bring Cam Newton back. At one point, Newton was an option in 2022. Yet that faded away, and the team is stuck with Darnold.Edgar Salmingo, Jr. ✌️@PanthersAnalystIf the #Panthers really want Deshaun Watson, they should be targeting Brian Flores, not Bill O’Brien twitter.com/CharlesRobinso…Charles Robinson@CharlesRobinsonThe #Dolphins firing Brian Flores likely resets the Deshaun Watson landscape pretty significantly.

Everything has changed.If the #Panthers really want Deshaun Watson, they should be targeting Brian Flores, not Bill O’Brien twitter.com/CharlesRobinso…Trading for Watson could save Matt Rhule's tenure and make the Panthers contenders again. The Texans can, then, acquire Darnold to compete with Davis Mills if the team does not draft a quarterback this year.Kansas City Chiefs v Denver Broncos#1 - Denver BroncosThe Denver Broncos have been linked to every top quarterback option this offseason. That includes Watson, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson. But Watson may be the easiest to acquire considering he truly wants out, while the other two may patch things up with their respective teams.There is little doubt that the Broncos want a new quarterback. Teddy Bridgewater showed an inability to make big plays, while Drew Lock was given up on by Vic Fangio's staff.Landing the Texans signal-caller continues the trend of the Broncos not developing quarterbacks, but still landing top talent. They did it with Peyton Manning and can bail themselves out again. They would just have to mortgage their future to do that.Also Read: NFL analyst names the coach Broncos should hire as HC to lure Aaron Rodgers away from Green Bay
