- The cornerback is set to hit free agency and is projected to be among the top defensive backs available.
- Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicts the Tennessee Titans will pursue Watson on a three-year, $40 million deal, citing cap space and GM Mike Borgonzi’s Kansas City ties.
- The Chiefs are reported to have the least available 2026 cap space, making a return difficult without a creative contract solution.
