Yeah, Texans just traded for David Johnson...why would McCaffrey entice them? They would want picks, picks, and more picks.

To be fair, that would be like forgoing Deshaun Watson at QB because you have Teddy Bridgewater.

david johnson has one year left on his deal before he’s a 31 year old free agent. he could be cut and save the team almost $7 million. also the texans FO looks more like some weird cult than a functioning football team and i just have this sneaking suspicion that mcnair and co would really appreciate a guy like mccaffrey, even if it makes less sense than taking an additional draft pick

CMC, Teddy, 2021 1st, 2021 2nd, and 2022 1st. They get a franchise player in CMC, a QB to hold the spot until their rookie is ready, number 8 pick (use for a Trey Lance), high 2nd, and next year’s 1st. We shed CMC and Teddy’s contract to make Watson’s manageable and aren’t set back too much with picks.

"Shedding" Teddy's contract creates a whopping $3M in cap space. Houston might take that deal, but they'd probably tell us to just keep Teddy.

I would hope Houston would laugh us out of the building with that offer.

Cmc is a superstar and sells tickets and jerseys. It would help soften the blow of them losing another superstar. So I could totally see them taking him as part of the deal especially in a city like Houston he’d be beloved.

What I mean by that is he’s marketable. He’s in national commercials. He broke a record that only 2-3 (?) rbs ever did. It would soften the blow for the fans. We should’ve never signed him to begin with and this would be a great out.

They've been pretty dumb in the past.

Whether or not they're still dumb now that Nick Caserio is in charge remains to be seen.

Jets have picks.

I think that is ultimately what is going to happen.

Even if he is traded? Regardless $3M is better than nothing.
