Silver Minings: Raiders given 8th best odds to trade for Deshaun Watson

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, there’s a growing possibility that Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will be traded this offseason.

Multiple people in and around the Texans organization believe he’s played his final snap with the club. Watson has been in the news this week, voicing his frustration with the process the team used to hire general manager Nick Caserio.

Watson is one of the top quarterbacks in all of football. However, he won’t be cheap. If I were to guess, a potential deal would have to likely include multiple first round picks, just to kick things off.

As always, there are odds as to which teams have the best chance to trade for him. But c’mon, your best guess is as good as mine as to figuring out where he’ll end up.

For what it’s worth, the Raiders were given the eighth best odds of potentially trading for him. I doubt the Texans would want Derek Carr, and the Raiders don’t have a high enough draft pick for the Texans to select a QB in the upcoming draft.

But hey, it’s fun to imagine Watson in a Raiders uniform, right?
