The team that needs Deshaun Watson the m

Happy Friday, friend! So, some stuff happened yesterday, huh?I'd just like to point out that yesterday morning I wrote the following: "If any other player in the league wants to stir up some trade drama, it would at least give us a change of pace over here. ... looking at you, pal." Promptly after sending out the newsletter, news broke Tyler Flowers Jersey that Watson officially requested a trade from the . So thanks for reading, Deshaun! Appreciate you!In all seriousne s, we're just over a week away from the and now it seems like all anybody cares about is and Deshaun Watson. Personally, all I care about is when I'll be able to disrespect my body again. This TB12 diet has me ready to risk it all for a damn cheeseburger, so . Also, next week I will be attempting to cook a Super Bowl recipe given to me by Rachel Ray's team, so that should be fun. Get the fire department on speed dial.

Who would benefit most from a Deshaun Watson deal? Yesterday, the big looming question was whether the Texans' hiring of David Culley would do anything to appease Deshaun Watson and get him to reconsider his interest in leaving Houston. Well, we got our answer rather quickly, as it was reported that .It appears this situation has pa sed the point of no return, and the question shifts from "will Watson be traded?" to "where and when will Watson be traded?" And while we don't Bob Uecker Jersey yet know the answer to those questions, we do know there are certain teams that should (and likely will) make very strong pushes for the franchise QB. Our Patrik Walker has compiled a list of Bill Belichick, : This one's obvious, right? While gets Kurt Suzuki Jersey ready for the Super Bowl, Belichick and the Patriots are in desperate need to reload at quarterback and get back to their winning ways. Landing Watson just a year after Brady's departure would be a coup for them, and it would likely infuriate the rest of the leagueRobert Saleh, : Watson is a fan of the new Jets head coach, and what a splash it would be to unite the two in one offseason. That would give the Jets a very clean slate and provide Saleh with a dynamic star to build around. Not to mention it would take Watson away from a couple of the other AFC East rivals likely to pursue himBrian Flores, : Speaking of those AFC East rivals ... why don't we just round out the trio here, huh? The Dolphins took with the fifth overall pick last offseason and he showed flashes in his rookie year, but he also struggled. The Dolphins are , as they can center a deal around Tua and some of their draft capital (some of which initially belonged to Houston)You can find the rest of Walker's list , but basically any that doesn't already have a franchise quarterback should be on the phone to swing a deal. And new Texans GM , especially as he looks to piece together his roster and put together a plan for the upcoming draft.Also, shoutout to Bill O'Brien -- your legacy of destruction lives on long after you're gone.2. The casual fan's Super Bowl guide Super Bowl LV might be more than a week away, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start your big game prep. That doesn't just go for those who obse s over the X's and O's either. One of the great things about the Super Danny Santana Jersey Bowl is that it tends to bring people together regardle s of how pa sionate they are about sports or football. If you're not the most devout fan and need a little help brushing up on your knowledge of the game, players, coaches, and rules, our Jared Dubin has you covered with . Hell, he even gets you up to speed on the halftime show. No stone unturned.Let's just touch on some of the basics:The Weeknd will have halftime show dutiesTom Brady (quarterback of the ) has already won a record six Super Bowls and will be playing in his 10th Super Bowl. (quarterback of the ) is considered a threat to Brady Orlando Cepeda Jersey as the greatest QB ever and he's aiming to win his second straight Super BowlThe game will be held in Tampa in front of 22,000 fans (7,500 of which will be vaccinated healthcare workers on all-expenses paid trips)If you're in the market for deeper, more analytical Super Bowl previews, well then stick around because we're going to be banging out tons of coverage throughout next week as we get closer and closer to kickoff.3. How the New York Mets became tied to the GameStop-Wall Street saga If you know next to nothing about the stock market or how it operates (like me) then this has been a rather tough week to hang out on the internet. You've likely noticed a whole lot of talk about GameStop, Reddit, short-selling, Robinhood and things of that nature. The good news is that our Dayn Perry is here to help with . Now, you might be asking why one of our most charismatic baseball writers would volunteer to help explain a stock market crisis on CBSSports.com. The answer lies in the fact that the New York Mets are connected to this confusing Wall Street saga.After a number of investors began shorting GameStop stock in large numbers, a bunch of Redditors and internet hooligans decided to buy up a bunch of GameStop stock drive the price up -- e sentially creating a meme and putting serious Wall Street investors in a position to lose ma sive amounts of money on their shortsA hedge fund named Melvin Capital, which has shorted aggre sively Bobby Cox Jersey in its young existence, was heavily exposed in the GameStop surge. Gabe Plotkin, the founder of Melvin Capital, took a huge lo s and required a huge cash infusion of $2.75 billion from two other hedge fundsOne of the hedge funds that gave Plotkin a lifeline was Point72, the hedge fund operated by new Mets owner Steve Cohen. He reportedly delivered Plotkin an investment of $750 million (on top of the $1 billion he had already invested)Plotkin once worked for Point72 and Cohen, which explains why the Mets owner would get involved here. Cohen insists that his rescue investment in Melvin Capital won't affect the operations of his baseball team at all, but you can understand why some Mets fans might be a little skeptical or nervous. Wall Street (Bernie Madoff, specifically) basically turned the p
