It's the audacity of the Texans to demand the same or more draft capital for Watson regardless of his legal status.

I have heard 3 first and 2 or 3 seconds.  It's insane demands for someone who could miss this year and possibly a year long suspension from the NFL.

Who wants to trade for a QB who could not see the field again until 2023.

Seems like this is exactly how a team that doesn't want to trade their franchise QB would act...hmm.

Of course they don't want to trade him but what is their option.  Is Watson going to put stats up holding the clipboard?(which I doubt he'll do) or being a sideline distraction?

Watson has made it clear he doesn't want to play for Houston.

I guess this is turning into a who has bigger balls.

This exact same refrain has been has been spooned out by literally dozens of "reporters" since early this year...

...the only thing that's changed is now the 2022 draft has replaced the 2021 draft as far as timing for his "best chance" 🤣😅

They should name Mr. Whip It Out the starter and force him to play if he wants to be paid.

If they tell him to go into the game and play...

...he has to...

Why would they force a player to play who refuses to play? That would be a terrible move. Would you want him leading your huddle?  Is he really going to run the offense they way the staff wants? What are they going to do if he doesn’t?

Name him the starter.

Too bad...shouldn't have signed a legally binding contract obligating him to play for Houston.

Right now, I'm not sure why Watson doesn't just go ahead and play. If he wants out, he's going to have to show teams he is worth the cost that's being asked. Right now, no one is taking the offer. He's going to have to make some team willing to cough it up before the trade deadline once they know they are desperately in need of a QB. Having a couple of wins under his belt (because the wins will be on him considering the Texans' team quality) will make him more attractive.

Personally, I see Jameis Winston flaming out fast and Sean Payton diving into this to get a QB he can work with that needs no development. Scandal? This is Sean Payton... he has more experience navigating scandals than an editor at TMZ.

He gives them the best chance to win.

He better.

Suspend him without pay.

      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.
