FilthyBeast Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Miami is desperate but even if this gets done it's highly likely he'll be ready to start next week against the Bills. Also isn't the league basically waiting to suspend him? They pretty much said they didn't have to take action now because he's been sitting idle in Houston inactive every week. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionC3 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I can’t believe that he wouldn’t land on the Commissioner’s exempt list if a team intends to play him. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I think the best case scenario for Watson is he is traded; pays a boatload of money to settle all 21 lawsuits; and then gets hit with like a 6-game suspension or something along those lines. Edit: Ben R got a 6-game suspension for his sex assault allegations (later reduced to 4 games).

Technically I don’t think they’ve ever put a player on the list pre-hearing. Which isn’t scheduled until February I believe, But it’s arbitrary so roger can still do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will certainly face some kind of suspension, regardless of a settlement or conviction. If the NFL doesn’t stand up against him for what he’s done, then they have no legs to stand on when it comes to player discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Great, deplete Miami's draft pick stock for a QB that will be suspended and possibly may never play in the league again depending on how his legal woes shake out. Also, this would be great press (not really) for a team already circling the toilet bowl. Distractions anyone? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I’m all for innocent until proven guilty… but in 2021, after the MeToo movement and several very high profile celebrity incident, how can any organization put a positive spin on someone with this many allegations? This would be like doing business with Harvey Weinstein around the time the allegations first came out 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blainorama5 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I guess if you're either team, then desperate times call for desperate measures. Watson could eventually be an upgrade over Tua, but not by the time the Bills play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I am surprised the Steelers aren't in on this. They need a QB worse than the Fins. I don't know what they could offer trade wise but my guess is this is Ben's last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Miami is willing to give up high draft choices and a guaranteed $35 million dollars next year to a guy that will likely not see the field until his legal issues are over. And if he's found guilty will likely have to serve a long suspension once the legal issues are over. This is how bad teams stay bad. NFL can't see Gruden's career and over things he said in the past (that he was ignorant and wrong to say) and let Watson continue like nothing happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically my question. McCain says that: Quote Even though the NFL trading deadline isn’t until Nov. 2, a deal could go down this week, according to people familiar with the negotiations. If the Texans and Dolphins are unable to consummate the trade this week, they want to get it done by the league’s deadline. On the other hand, earlier and even in this report, supposedly Caserio hasn't budged in what he wants for the trade: Quote General manager Nick Caserio has been asking for three first-round draft choices and two second-round picks. but then: Quote Teams have objected to that demand, given that his unresolved legal issues (22 civil lawsuits, 10 criminal complaints, and a vague FBI investigation) make his unavailability uncertain for 2021 and beyond. So what's changed? All that has been simmering quietly in the face of Watson sitting on the bench and no news on the legal front. But I think it's a pretty safe bet that if Watson is traded and is lined up to start for a new team, that lawyer for the 22 women is going to do his best to create a huge stir about the pending allegations and try to get the NFL to act (put Watson on the Commissioner's Exempt List pending resolution) I mean, on the one hand, it *is* the Dolphins. On the other hand, what team would trade away a 3 year fortune in draft picks without a resolution to the legal matters or some kind of contingency assuring them of protection should the legal matters go badly and result in a suspension by the NFL?

It’s an unprecedented situation. My guess is that the league steps in and kills the trade, at least until Watson’s fate is determined. But wouldn’t the teams involved check with the league first, before they make a deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
