He'll sit, be quiet, and make his money.

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

...he has to...

Not really. What are they going to do, cut him?

And why would they? That ship has sailed! Accept it!

Stop paying him...

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.

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.

It’s Tyrod Taylor with Mills the rookie backing him up.

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.

Absolutely.

He better.

Suspend him without pay.

It doesn't make sense to make him play. Just accept it. Plus, there would likely be a huge backlash by the public if they did.
