. . Deshaun Watson, Texans. . player. 10.

The remaining Eagles fans on the Deshaun Watson hype train just got off.

Remember when this was a thing? Maybe this is a case of being out of sight and out of mind. Maybe people are turned off by everything that began swirling around Deshaun Watson‘s name this past offseason. Maybe people have been turned off by the stories of him being disinterested in coming to Philly. Maybe it’s both of those things.

Whatever the case, every rumor involving Watson and the Eagles leads us back to a familiar conversation. Deshaun Watson doesn’t want to be in Philadelphia, and it appears that the Eagles organization’s interest in him has cooled.

As is the case with Rodgers, if the Eagles were to make serious moves in an attempt to acquire Watson, they’d need to part with considerable draft compensation and/or a player, possibly Jalen Hurts.

light. Trending. Guesses on who stays and leaves in free agency

The final nail hasn’t been driven into this rumor’s coffin, so anything is possible. As of right now, however, any hype that existed in the Eagles fan base surrounding Watson has, for the most part, evaporated, and maybe that’s a good thing. Mortgaging some of the future just to bring him on board seems like a very pretty penny to pay.
