Get Watson do whatever it takes idc who we trade bye bye ! Watson is worth it

10yr timeline NFL MVP's = Mahomes & DW, why would Texans EVER trade?

Recap:

1. Texans contract with DW is ironclad.

2. In no scenario are the Texans better w/o DW.

3. Texans are not obligated to trade DW.

4. Texans won't trade DW.

5. DW won't walk from $146,540,000.

The End.

Yes, I read that in the comments, that’s why I didn’t make it a thread and I wanted to check here if someone read something similar somewhere else. It’s unfortunate, there are a lot of places like this twitter handle that do this. 

Apparently the source is a recent speculative article by Adam Rank.

Basically, the same kind of bullsh-t we got from David Newton's "bold prediction".

When Watson isn’t qb for Texans this year you have to leave the huddle

If the Panthers trade for Watson at the current prices being discussed I have to assume the current ownership and management of the team has serious brain damage.

Play it again Sam!!!!

They'd have to be utter fools to go after Watson at a cost that would set the team back for years plus the weight of Watson salary which further limit the team.

Be smart Tepper, control your ego, trade up in the draft!

I really wish he’d go ahead and get traded/not traded so we don’t have to have 10 topics on him a week. I’d love to have him but it’s getting absurd. 

Breaking new thread: "CashNewton22 doesn't want anymore Watson threads, discuss?"

I agree.  Until it happens or doesn't I would support a moratorium on the whole thing.  It's boring. It's insulting.  The media is basically saying we are desperate for attention and relevance.  It's also insinuating we can't build a winning franchise without overpaying for other franchises players.

You are intent on hunkering down, but that hole you're digging will ultimately cave in on you. Just saying.

John McCain, the long time sports columnist from Houston, was on FOX Sports Radio this morning (3/2/2021) with host Clay Travis. He admitted his initial take on Watson not being traded was wrong, but explained Watson had not communicated such a level of discontent to him or any other member of the media. 

McCain now feels Watson will be traded in April before the draft. He sees MIA as NYJ as the only viable options. CAR, DEN, etc. are simply picking too low to appeal to Houston. Any deal with CAR or DEN leaves HOU without a franchise QB and nothing to market for the 2021 season. He believes Saleh can sell Watson on NYJ and that MIA's 2020 season should be enough to sell Watson on MIA. He again reiterated it's critical what Casserio's evaluation of Tua was for how valuable Tua would be in any trade with MIA.

Oh yeah we all knew Houston would be changing their tune. Tepper is going to do anything to get him. Not saying I’m happy with giving up a lot but damn to draft anything but Lawrence this year to me is an unknown. So if ur giving up a lot to move up for an unknown why not give up more for a sure thing. Tepper is a smart business person and knows this!

You're leaving out the most important, and really only point to all of this:

1. Watson does not want to play in Houston anymore and may refuse to even suit up at all.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
