The Miami Dolphins lost to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday but other than losing the game, they lost their starting quarterback. Sophomore Tua Tagovailoa was sacked three times in two possessions against the Bills. The third sacking resulted in a serious injury, with reports saying that the Dolphins are expecting him back in Week 6.
This is coming in the midst of trade rumors about the Dolphins bringing in Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson via trade. Watson has had his share of issues. Rather than injuries, he has had ongoing problems with the Texans' front office. Additionally, he is now being charged with sexual harassment from 22 different women from Houston.
Still, the interest is high for Watson. According to a report coming out from CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, the Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is intrigued by the quarterback. In the same report, La Canfora states that it is widely known in the Dolphins organization that coach Brian Flores does not prefer Tagovailoa as his first choice quarterback anyways.
He pulled him out of games in his rookie season when things were not going well. Additionally, his injury history has also been an issue, dating all the way back from when he was at Alabama.
Still, it would be risky to trade for Watson. Amid all the allegations he has, the NFL could put him on the Commissioner's Exempt List, meaning that he would not be able to play. Right now, the Texans are paying Watson not to practice or play for the team, and not to appear at the team's facilities.
