Would you trade our first rounder for Deshaun?

Of course but that is nowhere near a realistic trade.

Yeah, any team in need of a QB would do backflips to trade their 1st rounder for Deshaun Watson with the Texans eating all the guaranteed money in his contract. There's never been an easier decision in NFL history. Even if I was the Jags sitting at #1 looking at Trevor Lawrence I'd STILL make that trade. Watson is a proven MVP caliber NFL QB. Lawrence is a great prospect. There's a big difference. Plenty of great prospects don't pan out.

Damn it, Igo. Look at the contract. He's untradable. The Texans can't eat that dead money and still field a roster. They're already $18M in the red going into next year.

"Take a look at the contract. Trading him would result in a cap charge of $21.6 million. The Herschel-sized haul of draft picks that a Deshaun Watson trade would generate would more than justify it." https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/07/will-deshaun-watson-ask-for-a-trade/

    • CHARLOTTE — A funny thing happened in the locker room after Sunday's loss to the Eagles. There wasn't an immediate rush to the door. Usually, after a road game, particularly a road loss, guys shower quickly, change, and head for the bus that takes them to the airport. And it's not that guys were lingering, but there was a clear sense of camaraderie after that game, which you don't always see. After head coach Dave Canales spoke to the team and went back to his office to change for the flight, guys began to gather. Canales mentioned that Chuba Hubbard had topped the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. People came to congratulate him. Hubbard then thanked his offensive line, and people came to congratulate them. And that circle kept growing. It wasn't just the starting five, but backup guard and eligible extra blocker Chandler Zavala was part of it; injured center Austin Corbett was on the trip and he got pulled into the group. Like a rock dropped into a still pond, the ripple kept expanding, bringing more and more guys into the recognition. It wasn't a party — they know they lost, and close isn't enough — but it was a growing number of people engaged in a shared purpose. And you could sense the difference. Canales didn't tell them to congregate, it happened organically. And that's the important part. This team is beginning to internalize his message, say his words back, and get closer to the goals that were abstract concepts at the beginning of the season. They know the expectation and that they're still short of it. But they can also see that the work is beginning to pay off, and that's drawing them closer together.   https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-coming-together-getting-closer
