There were a ton of teams in the race for acquiring Deshaun Watson but the Cleveland Browns were able to secure their new franchise quarterback to kickstart a new era at the franchise.
The Houston Texans GM confirmed the interest of multiple teams in acquiring Deshaun Watson as he said, “I would say there was a fair amount of teams, but what we tried to do was bring the teams that had a legitimate interest, and that was based off the compensation that was presented.”
The general manager of the Houston Texans further said, “Going back to the earlier questions, I think there was a certain threshold that I had established in order to make it a legitimate discussion, and if we got to that point then we could engage further. I don’t want to get into the exact number, but there were a few more, however many teams than what everybody was reporting towards the end.”
