Deshaun Watson is also meeting with the #Niners, per league source.  I’m told the #Saints remain the front runners, based on trade assets and their desire to acquire the 26-year-old superstar QB. Decision likely by tomorrow.

 

49ers meeting has already been debunked which makes the rest of his post meaningless

Everyone thinks that Watson holds all the power here, he don't.  The radio guy down in Houston just said that Nick Caserio would absolutely sit Watson again, he isn't going to take 50 cent on the dollar.  Watson just might want to go to ATL, doesn't matter, Houston wants either picks or young defensive players, young  defensive players on rookie contracts to be exact. ATL can't offer them that so Watson can "want" to go there all he wants to but Houston still has to accept the deal.  Same thing with NO but not as bad as ATL.  Cleveland has talent but can they put a package together Houston will accept?  Deshawn does have final say when it comes to where he plays, unless he just isn't playing at all.  Texans have the ultimate final say in this and listening to what I just heard, it doesn't sound like the aren't afraid to pay a man 35 million to sit on the bench, they just did it.

Even if he settles for Carolina, how long until he forces his way out like he did in Houston? A track record of not honoring contracts and tepper wants to give this kid the keys to the franchise

9ers reporter said that was BS. They don't have a first round pick until 2024.

To those melting down after every twitter post:

1. Nobody with any actual insight has said anything. 

2. it’s the off-season where everyone lies.

3. Nothing has happened till it happens. We are in the Watson race until he is traded.

4. Houston has a say in where he gets traded too. 
 

5. even if we don’t get him it’s not the end of the world. Just means our draft pick which would be a QB is that much more important now.

 

Him going to a divisional rival is a big deal. Brady, while coming back, is bound to retire for good very soon. The division moving forward as it stands is void of any franchise QBs with longevity. Watsons secures a unique opportunity and advantage over our divisional peers. It’s that important.

If Watson reached out to Atlanta then it’s game over 

LOL…they’re not doing that to Matt Ryan unless Ryan wants to go to the colts or something.

On Kyle Bailey right now they're talking about Atlanta's chances and they're pretty much in agreement with what we are saying here.  1. It would look REAAAAALLLY bad for Atlanta to restructure the best QB they've ever had and then a week later send him to Houston.  2. They have an atrocious defense with no people to trade to Houston.  3.  They have hardly any cap space.  55 million dollar dead cap hit.  55 million dollars.  The consensus seems to be that its a huge bluff, and Atlanta has a gigantic uphill battle on multiple fronts if they truly want Watson.  Seem to think that this is a bluff to drive up the price for us and the Saints.  

 

They also just said to keep an eye on Terron Armstead coming to Carolina if we do land Watson.  We could have a great o line all of a sudden.  If there is a God out there PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!

Don't come in here with logic. People are trying to leap from ledges.

We need to get out of this, if HE is calling other teams, you don't give 2 of your young core players and 3 1sts for someone calling teams himself

Unless Tepper goes back on his word and freezes him out, like Cal McNair did, then I dont think it’ll be an issue.  

[Some Guy]

Any chance Watson is just gathering info and future plans on the other NFC south teams? Seems like a smart thing to do if they are giving out their game plan for the next few years. 

[MVPccaffrey]

can't remember the last QB free agent who made their search all diva'd like this who actually then won anything for the team they chose

This is Houston pumping fakenews to reporters in an attempt to drive up the price.  Dont believe the hype.
