It should not be an expectation that the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson this year.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers are not interested in pursuing the quarterback.

There will be more clarity this week. He is going to be deposed Friday in the civil lawsuits. He will be charged with sexual assault on the same day.

According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, the man is going to plead the Fifth in his deposition.

According to Ian Rapoport, the trade market for the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback is expected to be robust.

After the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh will be looking for a new quarterback. Mason is the most experienced quarterback on the team. Kevin Colbert told reporters that the team would be comfortable moving forward with Rudolph as its starter.

Colbert said last month that they would try to build the best team around Mason.

It is possible that the team chooses to use its pick on a quarterback of the future.
