Chris Simms Shares Theory On Deshaun Watson Joining Patriots

Deshaun Watson have been linked to the New England Patriots for quite some time. But, diehard Patriots fans won’t like Chris Simms’ comments on Watson and his chances of signing with the Pats.

Simms explained that Watson will be of great help for the Patriots. However, he isn’t really convinced that the Houston Texans would cut ties with the talented quarterback.

“We know New England, right now, seems to be all in with Jarrett Stidham and they want to see where that goes. Deshaun Watson, do I think he would fit the New England way and fit up there? Yes, and of course he’s had a little bit of a precursor with that with Bill O’Brien ’cause he tries to run things that way as well,” Simms said Tuesday on NBC Sports’ “PFT Overtime.”

“But I think ultimately this is where Houston — they need to gauge how the season goes next year a little bit. They need to be aware of what’s going on in New England. I would be scared of anybody stealing Deshaun Watson. You might have to get through the halfway point next year and go, ‘Oh, wait. New England’s not playing well, Stidham’s not the guy of the future and I would be scared as hell that they steal Deshaun Watson.’”

Deshaun Watson can get a new deal now and pass the Patriots

“I would think that a Deshaun Watson new contract needs to come now. You don’t let a Deshaun Watson ever hit free agency, just like Patrick Mahomes. This is a once-in-generation-type talent. He is a superstar and you are going to be in the playoff conversation for the next 10 years because this guy can make it happen no matter who’s around him. You just don’t let this guy walk out the door.”

Watson may not be ready to turn down a monster extension. However, if he doesn’t like the situation in Houston, he can easily leave the team and force his way into free agency.

For now, the only thing New England has is Jarrett Stidham. The second-year quarterback is set to replace Brady. Brian Hoyer is also on the roster. Let’s see what happens this offseason. Head coach Bill Belichick has a winning formula ready to use. Will he fit another quarterback in it? This will be a big offseason for the Patriots nation. Tom Brady is gone, and things will get really hot now.
