Deshaun Watson unhappy in Houston?

So you want him to be in the same situation that he's currently in in Houston? 

A talented QB with no Draft capital to invest in the team around him. Seems sensible. 

I get it. But come on, our WR corps are better than what Houston had last year. Even if we lose Samuel. Not that it matters, Deshaun was cooking teams up with Brandin Cooks and KeKe Coutee lmao. Our offense would be best in the league, and while we still need a lot on defense our core there of Burns/Chinn/Brown/YGM has a million times more potential than Houston's D currently does.

A new GM and coach aren't going to trade away Watson. Let's get real.

Which is why i said in the opening post he'd have to really push his way out.

Huddlers call anybody from or who played within two states a hometown guy.

I use it for anyone that’s ever spent a night east of the Mississippi. Those guys are just itching to skip out on a big pay day so they can play for the Panthers.

Easterby is a bigger problem there than O'Brien ever was

This is what I think Watson was likely getting at. They hired a consulting firm for the GM search. They were given five names. Caserio's name wasn't on it. Easterby hired who he wanted to anyway. He was always going to do that. He was just hoping the search firm would confirm his choice. Instead that blew up in his face.

Players don't want to play for that ownership. And they staged a GM search, ignored recommendations, & simply went back to Caserio bc they couldn't get him last year.

I think the dude wants out.  Seriously, I wonder what his value is.  Could be super crazy high but it's damn fun to think about.

At LEAST 3 first rounders, and it would be worth it.  Imagine what Watson could do here in Joe Brady's scheme with the weapons we have.  Holy poo, we would average 35 points a game.

My bar is next to stadium so coaches and staff come in.  The ones that aren’t coaches but talk after lot of drinks have been talking about Watson being our plan A B and C for the off-season.  When we complained about them winning against Washington the two guys said it won’t be our pick anyways it will be Houston’s.  Not sure if our offer will be good enough for the new GM but we are going to make an attractive package for Watson.

Wait, what?  Are you serious?

Watson is completely untradable for the Texans even if they deeply regret signing him and would love to trade him (which is highly unlikely). They'd have to eat $67M in dead cap next year to trade him. If the salary cap stays flat, that would be nearly 40% of their cap space tied up in a player no longer on the roster. Meanwhile, they're already nearly $18M in the hole for next year, so they'd have to free up $85M in cap to trade Watson.

I think it's silly to read into a tweet and realistically there's zero chance we will get Watson so I think the Watson talk here is kind of moot, but I do think it's definitely clear that the Texans owner is a complete moron for giving Easterby any power at all, let alone enough to handpick a GM that wasn't a target of the outside firm. It reeks of Hurney and JR to be honest... Glad that Caserio is off the market so Tepper didn't have the chance to make that mistake.

Uhhhhhh....I think we might be looking at this from the wrong angle.  Watson will get to play with Brady, just not in Carolina.

Brady probably wont even be here long.

I am probably the only one here that thinks Brady to Houston would be a Colossal failure on the Texans part.  He is way too green for a head coaching gig
