whatdrought Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Just now, JoPoy88 said: not even an outrageous suggestion. Watt is long gone. Apparently the Texans aren’t even going to attempt to convince him to stay. No, they'll likely cut him outright and not be able to move him. I think his cap number is like $15m if he's on the roster and 0 dead money if they cut him. 1 minute ago, Big Blitz said: Also, if I'm Frazier I cancel my interview. Nooooo!

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The Texans' comeback against us in the playoffs was 53 weeks ago. Think of that and the state of the two franchises right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less about Watson or the Texans. I just DONT want to see Watson in the AFC East, preferably not in the AFC at all. We finally have control of this division after 20 long years. I don’t want something like this screwing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hopeless franchise and Watson is wise to want out hey at least Russ was a competent marketer. Easterby’s just a con man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, we're in the AFC Championship with a young QB, Pittsburgh is going to be a mess of a team while they attempt to replace Ben and while Aaron is certainly playing at a high level, has he ever spoken about how long he's going to play? I think if JJ really wants to compete for a Super Bowl for the next 5 years, we're one of the teams that's set up to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbay is cause he grew up in Wisconsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pitt’s QB situation was settled I’d think of course he’s gonna go there and play with his brothers. But Ben is toast so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Ownership is the biggest problem here. McNair is letting too many people do jobs they aren't qualified for. Starting with BOB as GM, then moving on to this Easterby character, whose qualifications for being employed as an NFL anything, appear to amount to leading prayers around the Patriots facility. You also don't tell the most important piece of the team you are going to involve him before making decisions, and then go ahead and make those decisions regardless - even if it's your right. Heck, if McNair had told Watson he was getting no say in this from the get go, he might be pissed, but he might also be prepared to wait and see how things panned out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will destroy their remaining ability to attract quality free agents and coaches. The locker room will be poisoned. I’m telling you it will lead to McNair having to sell. You simply cannot do it. Sure you can! The tire fire that's the Jets seems to be dying down. Better send a couple of pumpers back to the firehouse so they can respond when Houston erupts in flames. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterian Bills Fan Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I know James Harden just forced his way out of Houston but the labor market in the NBA is very different to the NFL. Watson just signed a fat extension, if I am Houston I don't consider trading a proven franchise QB, at least not yet. I would have him play next season at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not smart. No he doesn’t, he’s an employee. Doesn’t matter what they told him, the guy paying the bills seen an opportunity to get a gm that they had pursued a couple years ago and he took it. Unless Watson wants to start chipping in on guys salaries he should just shut the ***** up, work hard and play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember we are talking about what a human would do “never challenge worse“ management there totally screwed the pooch, this problem is of their making, they certainly have the mindset to make things worse. Look what ownership has already allowed to happen. This is gonna be fun to watch this horror story play out, popcorn anyone 🍿🍿... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
