REPORT: Texans have had serious trade talks regarding Deshaun Watson with Dolphins, Eagles, and Panthers

Until you have a real QB, you can't compete year in year out in the NFL.  

If I'm Carolina, I'm giving up:

CMAC: Great RB, Good slot Receiver. Injury prone the past 2 seasons.

Brian Burns: Up & coming DE on rookie contract with 5 yr option. Love Burns, he can be really good, but not a game changer every single sunday.

Sam Darnold: NO COMMENT. Just get him out of here.

Robby Anderson: NO COMMENT.  Just get him out of here.

2022 1st rd & 2023 2nd round Picks: This needs to be included to beat out MIA & PHI who both have several 1st round the next few years.

Use the rest of your draft & free agency to build a real OLine & you can be a serious contender year in & year out.

That doesn't really answer any of the question marks I raised, but sure. 

Ok the man is loaded. He probably flies people in to come detail his car. When it comes to his body, which is his livelihood, of course he will fly out the professionals he wants to help maintain it. What’s a plane ticket to these guys? You are so eager to watch a sports team win, but let’s draw the line somewhere…

The sad part about every one of these threads I read is I can see so many of the opinions expressed being vastly different if the Panthers were not a team being mentioned as a possible landing spot for Watson.  The NFL (and especially public opinion, which matters, of a team in the NFL) is not a court of law.  The man has a right to a legal presumption of innocence, he does not have a right to social presumption of the same.  In other words a person's reputation matters.  Whether I, or anyone else, agree with this evolution in theory is not relevant.  It's the way it is and we've seen this borne out many times in many different arenas in recent memory.

I asked my wife her thoughts since she might have a different perspective to mine.  To quote: "it would be creepy at best" if we acquired him.  I don't believe I disagree.  Unless he somehow comes out the other side of his legal problems squeaky clean (which, if we're honest, is not terribly likely) I want no part of him.  Thankfully unless the Panthers have significant information none of us are privy to I don't believe it will be a problem.

*Edit due to the worst sentence structure I can remember ever putting to a keyboard.  Also for great hyperbole*

According to Texans reporter Aaron Wilson, Watson has made it clear that he does not want to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. General manager Howie Roseman has monitored the situation in Houston over the past few months, but has backed off as the quarterback continues to maintain that he doesn’t want to play in Philadelphia.

“At one point, Philadelphia was really aggressive in this, to the point where Howie Roseman had even contacted Deshaun’s legal team, he sent an investigator down here… He had done a lot of leg work on this. Eventually what he ascertained, and I reported this back in August and late July as well, was that Deshaun wouldn’t waive his no trade clause for the Eagles,” Wilson reiterated on “The Zach Gelb Show” on CBS Sports Radio.

All these reports are 100% coming from the Texans trying to drive up his value and market to get rid of him before the deadline. Miami appears to be the only team actually interested in acquiring him right now and even then I kinda doubt they do trade for him before the deadline. Just too much uncertainty and Texans asking price has been high (rightfully so as they don't want to give away an MVP caliber QB for nothing, even with his off field issues).

    • Cam Jordan was on Good Morning Football.  A player like Cam (lifelong Saint and a great ambassador for any team--I like him a lot) could be used by the Saints to create a smokescreen.  He denied that the Saints would take a QB in the first round, claiming that it has not been done since Manning in 1971 (paraphrasing)... It seems to me, (conspiracy theory forthcoming) that bit of information would have to have been researched/premeditated/planned.  Was he attempting to scoff at the concept that the Saints would draft a QB at #10?  Remember, Carr missed 7 games last year and had a 63.something QB rating.  He was not believed to be returning in 2025.  When the Saints thought that one of the top 2 Qbs were not going to be there at #10, they did not take advantage of the void clause in his contract, the way I understand it.  That means they continued to kick the Carr contract down the road.  In 2026, Carr's cap number is $69m--nearly a quarter of the cap for a 35-year old QB they do not want.  He is to be paid a $40m salary with a $10m roster bonus. While I am not a capologist, it is interesting if they really like Shedeur. All that matters is the perception that the Saints will take him at 10. If the Giants pass on him, and I think they likely will, Sanders could draw interest from the Raiders (I do not see it) at 6 or the Jets at 7 (more likely, but still unlikely).  The Panthers are the most likely trade partner--unless the Jets want to move back.  So who may realistically trade up for a qb?  The Colts (14), but there is no noise about them taking a QB and I do not think they have shown interest--instead, a competition between Richardson and Jones is the plan.  The Steelers (21) are in play, and the Rams are in play.  There is, however, another option for Carolina as a trade partner--The Saints.  A draft day switch for a third rounder might keep the Panthers targeting their player at 8 and add a pick in the process, suggesting they do not want to move back--but I get the impression that the Panthers are looking to move back.  
    • I said this a week ago and someone said it's idiotic basically  bc they want Rodgers. Newsflash,  Rodgers is a 1 year bandaid at most and if he gets hurt, Pittsburgh  has nothing else  but just traded for Metcalf.  I still think Shedaur may go to the Giants tho. Feels its a battle in the front office on him. We will see but I'd gladly take that trade package lol
