Keep the 2020 second and offer 2021 second.  Done.  This is a very good class for OL that can still be had in this years second and third rounds.  Deshaun needs an O-line to work behind.

Another thread Igo? I mean do you need the clicks that bad?

Exactly, and TEs 

[Catsfan69]

Done and throw in Will G and Miller as Sweetners.

Hell Robby Anderson if need be.

[Little Goody Two Shoes]

Definitely, yes.

I think the Texans get a good laugh out of that suggestion, given that they've already said it would take three firsts, three seconds and a player in order to even "start the conversation".

Won’t that change if the player refuses to play and demands a trade? I know it can’t be done for peanuts, but surely their asking price would have to go down right?

That's a lot. I'd be in immediately with everything but the 2022 1st round pick. But if they wouldn't agree, I'd take that...

Not necessarily. And just for the record, Watson's contract has a "no trade" clause that can only be waived by the team.

As to that team, they know what they have in Watson. They also know what trading him does to their cap, their quarterback position and their ability to keep future players who might be unhappy with their contract or whatever. If they don't get a ridiculous return in a trade, they not only look like idiots, they'd actually be idiots.

For now though, the Texans aren't listening to any offers. And even if they were, Bill O'Brien isn't making the deals anymore. The guy who is doing that is a graduate of the Bill Belichick School of Negotiation, so good luck making any sort of offer that doesn't make the Herschel Walker trade look like a good deal by comparison.

So, you’re saying there’s a chance

I mean, Nick Caserio could get replaced by an imposter clone who hates the Texans and wants to destroy them, so there's that.

And I suppose Bill O'Brien getting himself surgically altered to look like Caserio is an equally viable option.

Maybe that second one's more realistic. You guys have probably seen "Face Off". That could happen, right?

this gonna be a looong offseason
