DOLPHINS WON’T CONFIRM INTEREST IN WATSON

As speculation swirls regarding the Miami Dolphins’ interest in embattled quarterback Deshaun Watson, coach Brian Flores said the team wants players with "high character."

The Dolphins have declined to confirm or deny reports they have engaged in trade talks to acquire Watson, who has been accused of sexual assault and harassment in lawsuits filed by 22 women.

Watson and his lawyers have denied the accusations. No charges have been filed, but his availability this season is unclear, and Houston police and the NFL are investigating.

Flores didn't specifically mention Watson, but discussed the Dolphins' philosophy in acquiring players who need a fresh start.
