Protocal69 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Given a choice I don't want to see Watson on the Dolphins but at the end of the day I'm really not scared of Watson especially on the Dolphins were there coaching is overrated. It will show this season with Tua 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 No way anyone is coughing up major assets for Watson, unless they are convinced he can play all of 2021. Just not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles and Panthers pulled out leaving Miami the only one Aren’t those Houston’s draft picks to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I have a feeling that this will bite me, but I think it's more likely than not that a Dolphins trade for Watson can quite possibly hamstring their franchise for years. I don't think the Dolphins can pay his salary without last minute cuts. Watson's contract for base salary is pretty damn heavy after this year (~25 million a year) for the next four years so it's not like they can roll over a ton. Then, to give up three first round picks on top of that... For a guy who might never play an NFL snap. And who I think is grossly overrated. Yeah, Houston is incompetent but they couldn't run away with the division the past few years playing the Jags, an banged up/Andrew Luck-less Colts and the Ryan Tannehill Titans. And you want to hock the next 3-4 years on it? I'm willing to play those odds. Edit: I don't think he's bad, I think he is Matt Stafford and there is a reason why the Lions have never been serious contenders.

Just not happening. Even if he does play all 2021, at some point he's going to end up on the commissioner's exempt list and miss games. Nate Geary mentioned it this morning in the pregame, he's either going to sit for the Texans or end up being on the list and not playing anyways.

Doc Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 So they would be trading away three first rounders and two second rounders a year after using the fifth overall pick on a quarterback? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 If the Dolphins trade for him when the NFL suspended Deke for 6 games on the word of a single women they are dumb. Watson should be not allowed to play until this legal issue is resolved and then we can discuss reinstating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I don't see it for Miami even if the price were lower. They'd want Watson for this season and he is likely to miss a bunch of games and they'd almost certainly be sending Tua the other way meaning they'd be committing to playing their backup.

RunTheBall Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I would love for Miami to trade Tua to Houston and then have Watson get convicted and go to jail. Couldn’t happen to a better franchise. Btw, I’m over the “Flores is a great coach” shtick. He 100% blew the Fitz/Tua situation and already has a bad rep with agents for cutting guys a year after he lured them there. He’s going to be the next on a long list of Belicheck assistants who flame out. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Miami has so much draft capital. Who else could have enough to pull the trigger before the season starts? They would be wise to sit on it and see how a few games play out first. I don’t think anyone is going to give Houston what they want right now and the Phins will know after they play the Pats and Bills in the first 2 weeks exactly what they have. Watson would make Miami a much better team IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Either: 1. Miami trades and savages their next few drafts for an average QB with heavy baggage; or 2. Miami fails to make the trade and is stuck with average Tua. It's a win win no matter what happens. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Watson plays all year for Miami, can he develop chemistry and play THAT good with only 2 weeks before the season starts? Seems crazy to me to have Tua all through camp and then sit him for a qb the team is totally unfamiliar with. What do I know though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
