Ranking the top five landing spots for Deshaun Watson
Here is how the top five potential destinations for Deshaun Watson would rank according to their postseason hopes by adding him.
#3 - Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers experienced some of the worst quarterback production in the entire NFL last season. Their three starting quarterbacks combined for a disappointing 14 touchdowns and 21 interceptions across the entire season. Their failures were one of the biggest reasons why the Panthers finished the season with just a 5-12 record.
The Panthers appear to be just a quarterback away from being legitimate playoff contenders. Adding Watson would make them the heavy favorites to win the NFC South division, especially if Christian McCaffrey can remain healthy.
#2 - Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers earned a spot in the 2021 NFL Playoffs despite Ben Roethlisberger's below-average production. Adding an elite quarterback like Deshaun Watson could potentially elevate them from a potential playoff team to a legitimate a Super Bowl contender.
Besides Roethlisberger, who officially announced his retirement, the Steelers are returning pretty much all of their key players from a season ago. They should be aggressive in pursuing a quarterback and Watson is the best player currently available.
#1 - Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks recently traded Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, so they are currently in need of a new quarterback. They could potentially flip some of the Assets they received back in the Wilson deal and turn it into Watson, who is seven years younger and also elite.
Of the five teams listed as potential destinations for Deshaun Watson, the Seahawks have the best offensive weapons to offer. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett combined for one of the best wide receiver duos in the entire NFL.
