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."Ā https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/07/will-deshaun-watson-ask-for-a-trade/

Why would we even start a topic like this, they just signed him you really think they would trade him? Why has so many of y’all over reacted over one Twitter post. He isn’t going anywhere.

Reports are he wants a trade.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.Ā  And probably an upgrade at that.Ā  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped beforeĀ they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.Ā
