Deshaun Watson


Panther Believer

Recommended Posts

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

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
