That's a question many teams now are pondering in the wake of Thursday's reports that Deshaun Watson is upset with how the Houston Texans are handling their hiring process for both general manager and head coach. Should Watson ask for a trade, which Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio suggested could be in the cards, what is the proper price to pay for a rare talent like Watson?
I'll start by saying this: Almost any hypothetical package that could be cooked up for Watson isn't good enough. He's 25 years old, on a Hall-of-Fame trajectory and is set up to be one of the marquee quarterbacks for the next decade. I can't put a price on that, and I doubt the Texans will even entertain the idea of dealing him. That's a decision that will take years for a franchise to recover from no matter what they get in return.
The fact is that quarterbacks like Watson are hard to find. The Chicago Bears have been searching for a franchise quarterback for almost 40 years. The 49ers have been looking for one since Steve Young retired.
But if Watson does become available, there's no question the 49ers will be among the top teams looking to swing a deal for the star signal-caller.
With that in mind, I looked at four potential trade packages the 49ers could offer for Watson and graded them for both teams.
So let's (hypothetically) play: Deal or no deal?
