The Texans want at least three first round picks, plus two other assets (either players or high picks).

With multiple teams interested, why should they lower their demands?

They should lower their demands if there demands are not met. There is a chance their demands will not be met at that asking price. I thought that was sort of clear.

With multiple bidders? Including several with way more trade ammunition than us?

Not likely.

If he's willing to sign off on it I fully expect it to happen. This is the type of move that could legit save Rhule's job. If it happens I'll definitely be conflicted. Elite QB? Check. But, oh man... definite baggage. Also, if it happens I'll be pissed Rhule knee jerk fired Brady because I would've liked to have seen him get a chance to work with an actual NFL QB before getting scapegoated.

The better question is why would any team want to pay this? If he had zero baggage, ok. But with 10 criminal counts pending and his civil case being a PR nightmare, how in the world do you fork over that kind of collateral with zero assurances in the contract that he gets to play? The only reason Goodell didn't put him on the exempt list is he didn't have to because the Texans had no intentions of playing him. When the press and activists get involved he'll have no choice but to put him on the exempt list until a thorough investigation has been concluded.

Yep. He guaranteed 72M over the next two years. And he still hasn’t been suspended. If Jamies got 3 games for touching an Uber driver, what’s Deshaun Cosby going to get? Best case half a season. That’s a tough sell without giving up anything.

General expectation is that nothing will happen until there's at least some resolution on the criminal charges.

Some teams might be willing to deal with the lawsuits, probably looking for conditions like Ross did in Miami. But others (i.e. the dumb ones) will take the risk and jump in.

Here's to hoping we're not that dumb.
