After an embarrassing Super Bowl loss to end the campaign, the Kansas City Chiefs could trade cornerback Jaylen Watson either before or during the season. Bleacher Report\u2019s Gary Davenport believes Watson is the Chiefs\u2019 top trade candidate, even though they don\u2019t have many of them, but Watson is entering a contract year, so anything can happen during the season as far as sending him to another team to get some draft capital in return. This trade would be sensible in a way since they need to make room to extend Trent McDuffie, who isn\u2019t due for another contract two years from now. The Chiefs probably shouldn\u2019t commit to Watson, as they have solid depth in their secondary, especially with the signing of Kristian Fulton during free agency.<\/p>\n

Unless Fulton is a short-term investment, no one should expect the Chiefs to pay three cornerbacks on massive deals. After getting Fulton and with McDuffie getting a lot of praise, the pressure will be on Watson to step up this upcoming 2025 campaign. Originally selected in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the former Washington State product broke his leg during the 2024 season after becoming the No. 2 starter alongside McDuffie. Even though it\u2019s one injury, the Chiefs may consider that when determining his new deal, if it\u2019s even on the table.<\/p>\n

However, they\u2019ll likely keep him on a reduced contract, but these next four teams could give him a better deal if he has a breakout year similar to what McDuffie had last season.<\/p>\n

Report: Could Chiefs Trade Two-Time Super Bowl Champion Jaylen Watson? \u2013 4 Possible Suitors<\/h2>\n

Potential Destinations<\/h3>\n

New Orleans Saints<\/h4>\n

The New Orleans Saints are in dire need of a capable cornerback who can help Kool-Aid McKinstry destroy the opposing offense\u2019s aerial attack. It\u2019s hard to see Alontae Taylor taking on that starting role, and Watson would be an immediate upgrade for this secondary. When you have an offense that\u2019s going to be rebuilt, it\u2019s smart to invest as much as you can in the defense to give the Saints a fighting chance, and Watson could reunite with Justin Reid to provide just that in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n

Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers have two solid starting cornerbacks in Jaycee Horn and Michael Jackson. No one will take their job, but Watson could be in the background while the Panthers don\u2019t rush him to be in the starting slot. Watson performs better when given backup duties, and with a promising roster coming together, the cornerback could shed some light finally after the Panthers had one of the worst pass secondaries last year.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders<\/h4>\n

The Washington Commanders were close to a Super Bowl in their first winning season in a while. Even though they have new free agent signee Jonathan Jones in the mix and Marshon Lattimore returning, they could use some firepower from Watson to create an explosive unit. Being that the NFC East is competitive, Watson may have the spirit to turn this pass secondary from good to powerful.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys<\/h4>\n

However, the Dallas Cowboys have a lot of question marks in their secondary unit. DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs were supposed to be their long-term starting cornerbacks, but due to injuries, both of them are on the hot seat. While they drafted Shavon Revel Jr. and signed Kaiir Elam, it feels like these are just temporary players. Watson could provide some long-term stability and make Dallas have one of the most dangerous units in today\u2019s game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
