The trade that could send Deshaun Watson to the Packers and Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers

An ESPN analyst put together a massive three-team deal that would solve the quarterback issues for the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, and Houston Texans.

According to multiple reports, Deshaun Watson has had enough of theHouston Texans and is looking forward to being traded right away. Such a movewould likely shake the entire National Football League.

Then again, it seems like Watson isn’t the only big name that could be moved this offseason, as we’ve already seen Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff swap places in the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams.

Moreover, there have been several rumors claiming that Aaron Rodgers could also try and force his way out of the Green Bay Packers, while quarterback-needy teams like the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49erscould also try and make a big move.

The Massive Four-Team Deal That Could Send Deshaun Watson To Green Bay And Aaron Rodgers To San Francisco

That’s why ESPN’sBill Barnwell put together a hypothetical four-team deal between Packers, 49ers, Texans, and Patriots that would pretty much solve everybody’s quarterback situation in the blink of an eye:

+ Packers acquire: Deshaun Watson, 2022 second-round pick
+ 49ers acquire: Aaron Rodgers, 142nd overall pick in 2021, 2022 fourth-round pick
+Texans acquire: Jordan Love, 12th overall pick in 2021, 30th overall pick in 2021, 2022 first-round pick
+Patriots acquire: Jimmy Garoppolo

This way, the 49ers would get rid of Jimmy Garoppolo’s massive deal, as they’re reportedly don’t trust him going forward. The Patriots, on the other hand, will get one of their former players back, and one of Bill Belichick’s favorites, I may add.

The Packers could still be a Super Bowl contender for years to come with a young stud like Deshaun Watson under center. Houston gets a potential franchise player in Jordan Love and multiple picks, and Aaron Rodgers could pursue another ring with a contending team like the 49ers. That’s the ultimate win-win scenario.
