By "defensive starter" what are we talking here? Shaq and Donte would certainly fit that bill I would think, but my guess (fear) is Houston is thinking more along the lines of Chinn, Brown, Burns, etc.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Don't be shocked if there are also a couple of mid round picks thrown in there from either side. Not a done deal. Three teams in race. That is all I know.

We are in the race? You think Houston is going to trade him? U know the other two teams?

I do think Houston will trade him. I will get back to you on teams.

3 Firsts and CMC would a steep price to pay. I’d want this years third and fifth at least on top of Watson.

That'd be a brain dead trade. You essentially lose 4 first rounders, and all the associated rookie contracts that go with 3 of them. You have no LT, and no way to draft a good one for 4 years with an offensive line that is entirely out of contract after next season.

Watson is great. Being perennial losers for the next 3 seasons so we can "have a QB," is super dumb.

Giving up at least two firsts and more to move to 2 or 3 for the next best qb is smart?

This is David Newton. It’s not a report or an update, it’s poo thrown against a wall.

I think that's stupid too.

If you're a contender it makes sense. If you're like us where you're looking for about 6 guys on defense, and 2-3 on offense + a QB it's dumb.

Play the long game.

It dumps CMC’s contract to make room to sign a FA LT (like Trent Williams) also extend Moton (suddenly our line might be solid with Paradis returning). CMC is one of our best players, but his contract number is pretty large. Also RBs don’t have the best lifespan in the league (not saying he won’t, just thinking from both sides). If we could get them to take Teddy and his contract also it would make this tempting. Say 3 firsts, CMC, Teddy, and Shaq.  That’s huge money coming off our books and yes I know Watson will carry a large amount as well. Watson throwing to Anderson and Moore would be very fun to watch and comes with huge marketability!

I would quit following the team if we made this trade. I don't think it ultimately happens, but its shocking to me how many people on this site would be on board with a deal like this.

Three 1sts and CMC is too much, imo. Three 1sts? Ok. Two 1sts and two defensive starters like Shaq and Boston? Ok. A 1st, a 2nd and CMC? I think I’d be ok with that.
