REPORT: 49ers Are Meeting With Deshaun Watson And Are Interested In Trading For Him

Yet another team is entering the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes.

According to Jordan Schultz of ESPN, the San Francisco 49ers are set to have a meeting with Watson and are interested in trading for the 25-year-old quarterback:

Deshaun Watson is also meeting with the #Niners, per league source. I’m told the #Saints remain the front runners, based on trade assets and their desire to acquire the 26-year-old superstar QB. Decision likely by tomorrow.

Schultz does mention that the New Orleans Saints remain the front-runners to acquire Watson.

The San Francisco 49ers’ interest is intriguing considering the Niners traded three first-round picks last season to trade up and draft Trey Lance.

How would the 49ers be able to put together a package to acquire Watson when they don’t have a first round pick until 2024?
