That would be awesome. Then we will just go without 2 1st round picks. And have no O line next season or CB’s. We literally have 1 of each under contract if that happens. Super bowl here we come! 

but a All Pro QB for year's to come and wide open salary cap. Not sure the issue here. This is an exact situation where a GM proves he is worth the big bucks.

This team is currently built to draft a rookie QB and utilize his rookie wages to build a complete team around him. 
 

People keep acting like we don’t have to completely replace our entire O line and that Paradis is the only one returning and on the last year of his deal (LT,G,C,G,RT), a starting DT across from Brown, get a starting Lb (Shaq is it), figure out what the hell we are doing at CB (Jackson is our only returning starter and on the last year of his deal) and eventually safety (literally everyone agrees Boston could be easily upgraded)

If Watson comes here, it's going to be massively expensive. The 2022 and 2023 cap hits are $40 and $42 million. 2021 is a very nice numbered year ($15.9 million) but that balloon payment following is going to be an anchor tied around our necks as we swim into the next season.

Yeah, he's good but no one can take up a third of the salary cap and expect to see much of a team built up around them. 

Any team that makes this trade, turns his remaining contract into a long term deal. The reason he didnt sign a long term deal with the Texans is because he didnt want to stay there if they didnt prove things were changing. His current is purely a watson friendly deal to keep him in HOU. Now that he would be leaving, that new team (should be smart here) and re-write the deal in form of an extension.

As I said before. He would solve a huge problem but create just as many problems.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
