Two of the early names Washington is rumored to be in the mix for are Deshaun Watson and Matthew Stafford. Watson seems to be on his way out in Houston as mismanagement in the organization has led to a 'growing sense' that he's played his last snap for the Texans. Washington is reported to be a sleeper team there. In Detroit, reports have surfaced that the Lions are opening up trade talks for their veteran passer as a new regime begins. Again, Washington is looked at as a darkhorse to acquire Stafford, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. “I’m told they want to go hard at finding their long-term quarterback solution right now.”
