I will be honest--If DW does not want Carolina, we should not want him.  Take the hint and start building the OLine and Dline,  Let's see what Darnold does with protection--he has never really had it---and let's move on.  Not quitting, but I am not worrying about it...we do not want to trade a king's ransom for an unhappy camper.

He isn’t going to do anything with protection because he’s a bad football player

So what if Houston wants the Carolina trade but Watson prefers playing for New Orleans--how much leverage will Houston have and use?  Are they going to take less to placate Watson?  I think they play hardball with Watson like they have so far--if they have been unwilling to negotiate down, why would they now?

Carolina’s package maybe be better but it won’t be by much. I think New Orleans ends up being the compromise between Watson and Houston

I think it’s hard to look at any updates, because it’s hard for people to remember that while the Texans and Watson have to work together, they are not on the same side. It is in the Texans’ best interest to get the best offer from as many teams as possible that aren’t a detriment to them (i.e. in the division/conference). It’s in Watson’s best interest to be somewhere he wants to be. No coincidence that at this point, Deshaun has entertained every southeast team that is in a position to make an offer in the NFC.

If you’re the Texans you are pushing for him to give you a list of teams, so you can THEN leverage each of those teams for the best offer. No way the Texans give up that leverage by giving HIM a list of teams to choose from. If that was the case, he could just say “I want X team” and the Texans would have to take the best deal from that team, giving that team all the leverage. The Texans also don’t want to take the cap hit this year so they need him gone.

And if it weren’t the case, then Watson wouldn’t be talking to multiple teams. Texans need at least 2-3 teams to play ball in this, which they have. So it doesn’t matter who Deshaun wants the MOST, only who he is willing to go to. Then the Texans can make them fight it out for the best offer.

I will cut off my right nut before I go through another year of “this year Darnold will be good because he finally has _____ “

Lol we actually talked about him a day or two ago but I guess we forgot to get rid of him. Taken care of. Way too much misinformation.

Trolling: to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content.

Irony: a literary technique by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

He’s a legit former Eagles player and current Eagles reporter/analyst. 
 

Doesn’t mean anything though as plenty of others with similar connections have been saying a ton of stuff.
