But they still have be replaced

Show me the link where this “report” is please

Reported and speculated are entirely different things

Then you are being obtuse

Seattles franchise and coaching staff are in another stratosphere compared to us. Wtf are even talking about

You haven’t seen where the league is investigating him?

I doubt that matters in the grand scheme of things. Location to family doesn’t move the needle when your franchise is ringling brothers circus

Um. He is getting a penalty from the league. Probably around 4 games. Might be cut to 2 but the nfl is going to ding him just because they can.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and we are going to be up against the cap so we cannot even try and sign someone to help

I agree

We are going to get fuging fleeced and still not have an oline or resources to build one. We just need to hope Watson says "nah dawg" to us

Did FA flock to Houston when he was playing?

Right so its going to be tight as it is to get the number to work for watson its going to be impossible to make the TA contract fit

If we extend him he is most certainly going to want to rework his deal. He is not going to extend it with the current numbers. Why would he do that?

The article stats we are not in financial shape yet to add his contract. We still have work to do but its possible but the main point is its not going to be possible to add both watson and TA

He probably is going to want a raise if we extend him given the current climate of qb deals. Also it really doesnt matter if the guaranteed part is paid because we are not going to cut him down the road if we trade for him. His salary is still going to go against our cap

This doesnt give me the warm and fuzzies about the situation. For a team to acquire Watson this year they would need to have $35 million to acquire the contract. Right now the only teams who would be capable of doing that are the Colts, Seahawks, Jets, Dolphins, and Jaguars. Plenty of teams can get there including the Lions, Steelers, Raiders, Bucs, Eagles, and possibly the Panthers. A team can restructure Watson’s contract for cap relief after the fact but would need the room, unless Houston picked up some of the cost, to execute the trade. As it stands right now Watson’s contract has salaries of $35 million in 2022, $37 million in 2023, and $32 million in 2024 and 2025. Those would also be the salary cap charges associated with a team who trades for him. A simple restructure would allow Watson’s 2022 cap hit to be as low as $9.53 million following a trade. Watson’s 2022 and 2023 salaries are more or less guaranteed already, but a guarantee shouldn’t be of any concern for a team making this type of trade commitment as the expectation is to have a relationship well beyond the term of this contract.

Maybe I am confused but how does that help us in regards to the salary cap?

I am not sure that is 100% correct https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/deshaun-watson-21753/

thank you

0.0% chance that happens

That’s basically my starting point in all of this. It should have never gotten to that point and he is a fuging moron for walking into this.

Didn’t we know this literally the day after the draft?
