Deshaun Watson has narrowed his list of potential teams to the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, eliminating both the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers on Thursday.

The Houston Texans are preparing to trade Watson this offseason after his legal status made that an impossibility in 2021.

The Falcons have delayed a roster bonus for Matt Ryan until Monday in order to accommodate a potential trade for Watson.

Watson grew up in the Atlanta area and was a ballboy for the Falcons as a youth.
