Nice! @Toomers what does your company do?

outside of this whole watson thing, what else has been leaked? Seems like the Watson sitiuation has been the main peice of inside information. However, the Dolphins were just as loud during their chase for Watson.

Sounds like his mind with yesterday's article from David Newton

Just watched Keeeppounding_TV's latest episode. He made some good points that the Texans dont really have a need for someone like Jeremy Chinn, and they would have our 6th pick and their 3rd. So whatever we are offering them would have to be their weakpoints on their roster: 1. IDL 2. Pass rusher 3. WR 4. RB 5. QB (of course)

I don’t think I’ve ever posted about Brian burns before… at least not since his second season….

We better be getting tunsil in the deal too then

I hope it’s Derrick brown instead of chinn

Can you pin a thread anyways? It will still be helpful to aggregate.

No. McVay came out and said straight up after their playoff loss in 2020 that they needed to upgrade the QB position. He gave Goff zero votes of conifdence. They created the opportunity with Stafford. Stafford and McVay are friends off of the field, and were with each other in cancun with their lives when the trade talks about Stafford first started.

The 2nd first round pick offered by the Rams was for the Lions to take on the contract of Goff. It wasnt 2 firsts just for stafford. The rams paid the lions to pay goff. Stafford chose the rams over us. It wasnt a bidding war. Trading goff was the only way the Rams could take on staffords contract. You should read up on how that deal went down. It was a respectful moves by the Lions franchise for Stafford.

very few teams in the NFL think their next year draft pick is going to be top 5.... lol #losermentality

its pretty much an identical situation. Panthers/Rams desperate for bettter QB talent. Texans/Lions disgruntled QB who wants out.

Yes if I wanted to get the deal done. That's how this stuff works. Look at the Rams and Lions trade last year.... they had to include goff in the deal for cap reasons to make it happen, and Rams gave up an extra pick to pull it off.

in some cases to make the deal happen... If Texans have the cap space to take on SD in the deal and we throw in a 4th for them to eat it, then they would agree to it. Thus freeing more space for us this FA. Regardless, I expect us to ship SD somewehre if the deal goes through

To turn it into gauranteed money.....

The article is pretty optimisitic, and we just restructured another contract moments ago. If there is a player involved in the trade from our side, we dont need to move any more money around . The Panthers, with only about $31 million in cap space and only about $13 million to use toward free agency, can create enough space to make that work.

A raise? he is already being paid as a top5 QB, and he hasnt played in over a year. He wont want a raise, he will just want a chance to make good money and play football.

you have to consider the players we are giving to the texans in the trade too. According to that article, we are in financial shape to make this happen. We still have about 4-5 options on the roster to restructure as well

Its plausible, because if we are trading players in return on this deal and not just draft picks, that creates space as well. No telling who it will be, and there isnt mant options that would give us a shitload of money back, but with one or two more restructures and traded player(s)... D Watson and Armstead could happen. It will take some fancy money moves by Samir Didnt mean to confuse you, I was just stating that the weighted portion of the contract is paid for. So we could extend his deal and spread the numbers out if we end up landing him.

correct, but Houston paid the gauranteed 70 million already.

As of this very moment, there are only 9 teams that can afford a Watson trade, one of those teams on this list is actively restructuring contracts daily..... 1 Indianapolis Colts 2 Miami Dolphins 3 Seattle Seahawks 4 New York Jets 5 Chicago Bears 6 Jacksonville Jaguars 7 Cincinnati Bengals 8 Las Vegas Raiders 9 Carolina Panthers

Houston has already paid a big portion of the contract, it states that in the article the OP shared. Thats why they want a king ransom. They are losing a stud player that they already paid for.

this is a wild concept. Also, its very possible. I think we see BB in the trade with 5 picks

they wouldnt do that trade. Howie Roseman is a pretty cocky individual, I doubt he lets Caserio rip apart his team for Watson.

I think that can officially happen on Wednesday when the new league year starts
