The NFL draft is history, DeVonta Smith is an Eagle and even as the team appears set to build around Jalen Hurts, Deshaun Watson still hovers over the organization.
During his Football Morning In America release for this week, Peter King weighed in on Watson’s legal saga and the teams who could still have an interest in trading for the embattled quarterback.
King made no guarantees and went with “his gut feeling”, but he did insert the Eagles in as favorites to land Watson when his legal issues are settled.
“3-1: Philadelphia. A likely need, plus Eagles are in perfect position to deal with three first-round picks (if Carson Wentz plays three-quarters of the Indy season).”
The Eagles and GM Howie Roseman have been linked to Watson for months now and with sexual assault allegations and civil suits lingering, Jeffrey Lurie and Philadelphia’s decision-makers would have to be convinced that the Texans star could be a good fit going forward.
