Logic Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I predict the Texans won't end up trading Deshaun Watson. If they have any sense whatsoever -- and it's no guarantee that they do -- they'll do what they need to do to salvage the relationship, and will bring in whatever coach Watson feels comfortable with. If they trade away Deshaun Watson at age 25 -- no matter WHAT the compensation they get back is -- they'll regret it forever. 3 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Watson and management need to sit down and hug it out. There's no way you let a talent like that at quarterback go. Let him pick the head coach if he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people close to the situation doubt that Houston will make the trade. They have also shared the challenges that a team will have that trades for Watson. You inherit a franchise QB contract but have no draft capital to put talent around him for several years. Essentially it’s the same situation as Houston this year. If Houston hires a coach like Bienenemy, Frazier, or whoever else I can see them talking DeShaun into playing. A lot can happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linked article. No exact quotes so could be speculation and agent speak. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article248718210.html Quote Watson this week told people the Jets are his top preference among the teams he’d like to be traded to because they hired Robert Saleh to be their coach and Watson values Saleh so much he wanted the Texans to interview him for their vacant head coach job. Watson confirmed reports, circulated for several weeks in national media, he’d also welcome playing for the Dolphins but said that is his second choice at this time.

To go to a worse team that, because of what it will take to swing this trade, will then lack the assets to properly build around him, is like a hamster on a wheel.

I agree with you here, but it is possible Watson has already decided he is leaving the team or that the relationship can't be resurrected. In that case, he's gonna get traded. I have no idea how far gone it is there. We'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshAllenReceipts Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 All this talk and time dedicated to a 4-12 QB. Weird.

HappyDays Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Okay so he'll go to a team with no offensive weapons and a bad o-line, and to get Watson they'll have to give up draft picks they could have otherwise used to get some weapons.

Rc2catch Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Gotta stop stressing this guy. Until he comes out and says this stuff publicly take it for what it’s worth. Hearsay. Carolina, Pittsburgh, Indy, and tons of other fan bases all have similar “reports” popping up about how they have a shot at trading for him. Watson has not confirmed any of this. It’s all based on reporters hunches and inside “sources” Houston holds the cards here don’t forget despite reports, Watson has his no trade clause but is he actually willing to miss game checks? Houston does not have to trade him if they don’t feel they’re getting enough value. He might get moved but I don’t believe all these bs reports. He told people, ok what people?

It sounds like the relationship with Watson is not salvageable. They went 4-12 with him this year and have no premium draft picks and no cap room. Trading him is a big risk, but it’s worth taking if they can get three firsts (including number 2 overall) a QB (like Darnold) and a mid-round pick or two. If I’m the new GM, I make that trade—and I love Watson as a player. 30 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: SF would be the power move for sure. Jets would be a joke move.

Patrick Duffy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I don't see this happening, at least with the Jets.

Clearly we now have his agent leaking things, which just goes to show what a bunch of clowns we are dealing with. This guy really thinks he should be Patrick Mahomes and have all the commercials and be the face of the NFL. I really think in his mind he thinks he is the best QB in the NFL, although he can't make half the throws Mahomes makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
