The Denver Broncos have been regarded as a team that could pursue Deshaun Watson in a trade this offseason. Amid all of the rumors taking place this offseason, Jerry Jeudy spoke about the possible opportunity to have Watson as his quarterback, via Denver7's Troy Renck.
#Broncos Kareem Jackson isn't only one talking about Deshaun Watson. Jerry Jeudy when asked on @BartAndHahn about QB. "It would be exciting to have Deshaun Watson there. You know he’s a great quarterback. He’s had a great career at Houston. We are looking forward to a decision.” pic.twitter.com/TgIm4H2etA

Rumors surrounding the Broncos have ramped up this week after Kareem Jackson told TMZ Sports that Watson has told him he'd be interested in playing in Denver. Jackson was a former teammate of Watson's when the veteran defensive back played with the Houston Texans.
Despite a lot of people undervaluing Watson, it's going to take a massive haul to pry him away from the Texans. With Watson being one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL coupled with him only being 25 years old, his value is going to be historic if he's traded.
The Texans have made it clear that they'd prefer to repair their relationship with Watson instead of trading him. However, Watson could decide to sit out until he's traded. Plus, Watson holds a no-trade clause, allowing him to essentially choose where he's traded.

If the Broncos were to make an offer for Watson, they could include Drew Lock in their package. Lock is a former second-round pick from the 2019 NFL Draft that has yet to prove he's the long-term answer in Denver.
As for Jeudy, he had a decent rookie season with 52 receptions for 856 yards and three touchdowns. Though, his nine drops during the regular season are something the Broncos hope doesn't remain an issue moving forward. While Jeudy expects to have a productive sophomore campaign in 2021, he hopes it happens with Watson as his quarterback.
