Deshaun Watson

What realistically would it take to get Deshaun Watson back in Carolina? He signed a 4 year $156 mil deal and I think everyone including the Texans organization can agree they are FAR from being dangerous in a playoff push within 4 years especially once considering that division. Hypothetically, what if the new GM/coach was looking to get him off their books and get more draft capital to rebuild on cheap contracts? Would this years pick and next years 1st overall pick be enough? Just curious to what some of yall would think about this kinda move considering Watson is still only 25 years old, pair him with DJ, Robby, and a healthy CMC and that just sounds beyond scary.

I think it would take the richest trade package in NFL history, so pass. Houston would be in flames if Watson got traded too.

I honestly think the RKn111 trade killed the blockbuster market. Say it works out and hes a elite QB, but now you can never add young talent around him. So he gets Burrow'd Carr'd RG'd or pulls a luck.

Obviously Watson would be great, but just not realistic. However, for a much smaller trade package I would definitely be on board to trade for Stafford. His cannon with these speedy receivers would be lethal. Trade for Stafford, draft a young QB to develop in the next few years.

This sounds like one of those things I would hear on the New York sports talk stations on one of my work trips to New Jersey.

"Schultz here, first time caller, long time listener.  I think we should trade Teddy, Paradis, and our 3rd round draft choice to Houston for Watson."

"Why on earth do you think they would take that deal?"

"They have a new coach and GM coming in, they aren't going to want Watson because he is from the last regime and they are going to want to put their stamp on the team.  We are giving them a starting QB, starting center, and throwing in a 3rd rounder....why wouldn't they take it?  If not, we'll throw in Grier, but only if they give us their second round draft pick in return."

It made my head hurt then, and it does now.

So we should give up 2 first round picks and she'll out 40.million per year for a QB who has never won a playoff game yet is paid second to Patrick Mahomes. With the salary cap contracting this would be a terrible move.

This absolutely needs context considering who's been running the Texans since Watson has been there, everyone can't get drafted by the Chiefs and Andy Reid

      2025 season

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      This season is about two things that impact the Ws and Ls 1. Can Young be, or ever  be, a top 15 qb 2. Can Evero be a decent DC  my personal feeling is time may be up for one and the other’s time should’ve been up before season start  regardless of my personal feels, I’m glad football is back and hope to be proved wrong every Sunday

      The point was, largely it was cool to be critical of select players all off season (XL) and not be questioned about your fandom, being negative…..but select folks react different if done to Bryce.    and if XL had an army of defenders (which he didn’t) there would be plenty of “derailment” as you say.  But people largely accepted you should be able to be critical of XL. Therefore the good and bad were BOTH largely accepted convo.  I have no clue about your joke analogy.  Racist jokes suck.  Jokes about race can be funny.  I do know some people view it all as the same thing.

      I am not sure that would necessarily hold up to a large data sample and some in depth analysis. It's certainly an interesting theory.  IMO(anecdotally), the better backups are usually older backups that were above average NFL starters for long periods of time. That and just guys that are always fringe bottom third starter, top third backups. Flacco, Dalton are current examples of the former. I think guys like Tyrod Taylor and Jacoby Brissett are good examples of the latter.  The issue with Lance/Richardson/Wilson is that they were ultimately big busts. So you have to bank on them being the type of player that can handle that, battle back and make a decent NFL career. I am not sure I would say that is the majority of those type of players. Winston is just a different thing. He is an old school gunslinger that is pretty inflexible when it comes to playing style. If you don't have an old school offense tailored to a Brett Favre type gunslinger AND have a defense elite enough to win when he is turning the ball over like gangbusters.....it's tough for him to consistently win games. It will be damn fun to watch but the W's are gonna be rare.
