Here's a list of teams that are likely looking at the QB position either in Free Agency or in the Draft:
Jacksonville - I think Jacksonville can be eliminated due to getting the first pick and likely picking Trevor Lawrence.
NY Jets - I doubt that the Jets are willing to move on from Darnold so quickly, so I think they can be eliminated too.
Carolina - Carolina struggled with Teddy B last year after literally releasing every QB on their roster from 2019. I think they could be a good candidate for Watson.
Denver - Denver is in the same position with Drew Lock as the Jets are with Darnold. I don't think Elway moves away from Lock right now, so I am eliminating them.
49ers - San Francisco has a bit of a QB problem. Jimmy G can't stay healthy, therefore, shouldn't be trusted being the only competent QB on the roster. San Fran putting together a deal for Watson seems to be a likely scenario, in my opinion.
New England - New England went through a season with a mobile QB and the results weren't too good, but I think Watson is a severe upgrade from Cam Newton, but they don't have much draft capital so I think they would need to package up their 1st with some players as well.
Washington - Washington is in a shit situation at QB. But, they won the division for the first time since 2015 and that was with a shit situation at QB. Alex Smith might have been the most heartwarming story of the 2020 NFL season, but if Washington has a chance at Watson, I think they take it.
Chicago - Chicago can't be happy with their QB situation. If they had an actual QB playing the position, Chicago would be a favorite in the NFC and I think making a move for Watson should be explored here. I mean, why not? They were able to make the playoffs with 2 mid-tier QBs. Imagine the Bears with DeShaun Watson under center.
New Orleans - New Orleans is an interesting situation because I don't think that it's so cut and dry that Taysom Hill or Jameis Winston get handed the keys to the house that Drew built. If I'm the Saints, I gotta think to myself "Do I trust Hill and or Winston enough to be able to keep the successes from an NFC title contender to the following year?". I can't say that I do. Hill would be my option over Winston, but if I can put together a package to get a QB that I can ensure keeps my franchise in at least the NFC title hunt?
Realistic Prediction - I see a team like Washington and Chicago that are probably a good QB away from actually being able to contend in the NFC. Brady and Rodgers won't be there for too much longer and Brees is gone so this leaves the door open to young talented teams like Chicago and Washington. But I then look at a team like Carolina who has massive talent on the offensive side of the ball and who are in desperate need of a QB that can utilize those weapons. The reason the Panthers were so good in 2015 was they had every offensive position healthy and running on all cylinders. Can you imagine a Panthers squad with a fully 100% healthy Cam Newton, CMC, DJ Moore and Robby Anderson? So, with that said...
Carolina Panthers trade Curtis Samuel and the 8th & 40th picks in the 2021 NFL draft to the Houston Texans for DeShaun Watson. Houston then uses the 8th overall pick to draft Mac Jones from Alabama.
Unrealistic Prediction - 0% chances of this happening, but I like chaos and I think this would throw a huge monkey wrench in the 2021 NFL season.
Jacksonville Jaguars trade the 1st & 33rd picks in the 2021 NFL draft to the Houston Texans for DeShaun Watson. Houston then uses the #1 overall pick to draft Trevor Lawrence from Clemson.
