Whether you believe in Washington’s chances to potentially land superstar quarterback Deshaun Watson in a trade, the hypotheticals needs to be made. It would take an extraordinary amount of assets to get a deal done, but with a player of that magnitude, it can’t hurt to call and at the very least test the waters.

It would be hard to part with some of these guys, but if it helps land Watson, Washington needs to at least consider it. Here are five guys that could potentially benefit Houston in a trade.
