and we are going to be up against the cap so we cannot even try and sign someone to help

I agree

We are going to get fuging fleeced and still not have an oline or resources to build one. We just need to hope Watson says "nah dawg" to us

Did FA flock to Houston when he was playing?

Right so its going to be tight as it is to get the number to work for watson its going to be impossible to make the TA contract fit

If we extend him he is most certainly going to want to rework his deal. He is not going to extend it with the current numbers. Why would he do that?

The article stats we are not in financial shape yet to add his contract. We still have work to do but its possible but the main point is its not going to be possible to add both watson and TA

He probably is going to want a raise if we extend him given the current climate of qb deals. Also it really doesnt matter if the guaranteed part is paid because we are not going to cut him down the road if we trade for him. His salary is still going to go against our cap

This doesnt give me the warm and fuzzies about the situation. For a team to acquire Watson this year they would need to have $35 million to acquire the contract. Right now the only teams who would be capable of doing that are the Colts, Seahawks, Jets, Dolphins, and Jaguars. Plenty of teams can get there including the Lions, Steelers, Raiders, Bucs, Eagles, and possibly the Panthers. A team can restructure Watson’s contract for cap relief after the fact but would need the room, unless Houston picked up some of the cost, to execute the trade. As it stands right now Watson’s contract has salaries of $35 million in 2022, $37 million in 2023, and $32 million in 2024 and 2025. Those would also be the salary cap charges associated with a team who trades for him. A simple restructure would allow Watson’s 2022 cap hit to be as low as $9.53 million following a trade. Watson’s 2022 and 2023 salaries are more or less guaranteed already, but a guarantee shouldn’t be of any concern for a team making this type of trade commitment as the expectation is to have a relationship well beyond the term of this contract.

Maybe I am confused but how does that help us in regards to the salary cap?

I am not sure that is 100% correct https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/deshaun-watson-21753/

thank you

0.0% chance that happens

That’s basically my starting point in all of this. It should have never gotten to that point and he is a fuging moron for walking into this.

Didn’t we know this literally the day after the draft?

At this point I doubt anyone knows jack poo about the situation. He wants to meet with potential teams and until then anyone who says they have a source or knows what is going on is full of poo.

Where is that from? Is that official record or just put out by the defense? I would like to read more of it

Where is this from?

We'll find out shorty I suspect

If he doesn’t want to come here it’s a moot point. He already has declined to meet us once so it’s not looking good.

we cannot afford Tunsil

Brilliance, lets further hinder ourselves

Same as trash from last year. Best qb in the draft. Btw trash is in a qb battle with Blaine gabbert

If the proposed trade goes through we will not have firsts or 2nds for a time and we will have holes on the oline, dline, linebacker and safety positions as well as having to sign moore on top of cmacs crazy ass deal. Maybe you can see a way out of this mess if we trade for watson but it looks like a lump of poo to me. Giving up our best defensive players and multiple years of day 1 and 2 picks is a tough hole to dig out of

Thats an aberration not the norm and plus they have drafted really well leading up to that point. We are looking at no firsts or seconds for a while and we are going to be up against the cap for the foreseeable future
