Deshaun Watson

[Panther Believer]

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.

Without Bill OB there it would take a lot to get him. At the start of the season? Probably just a first and Teddy. 

[Rags]

Not gonna happen. Houston is his team and the FO isn't letting him go.

Oh come on

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.

We could probably trade them #4 overall, Burns, Chinn, Moore, 2022 first, 2021 and 2022 seconds and get him. But we don’t have Hurney any more so that ridiculous overpay ain’t happenin’

How is it that far fetched? They will have a new GM, and head coach. They have a poo load of money tied into a QB for 4 years knowing they will not be competitive in that time.

What you give up for Mitch or Draft capital for 2022 Sam(say the panthers are picking 12th in 2022)?

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.

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.

The amount of assets it would take would bankrupt or team.....might as well forget about it

[Sgt Schultz]

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.

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
