Watson to Fins/Phins trade speculation.

If these are the reasons that Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston, I don't blame him one bit. As a matter of fact, I respect the kid even more. 

It looks like he's going to play hardball and flex a little muscle! The Miami Dolphins may be in that equation!

Just to speculate, I'd say it would depend on how Houston views Tua.  If Houston thinks that Tua is a franchise guy - with no doubts - then I suspect you could make that deal by swapping Tua and Watson, with Miami also throwing in one of their first rounders this year.  Salary cap swap would be good for Houston (who are currently 20 million over), and Miami wouldn't struggle with it much either.

They could probably do worse than Tua. He's still learning, but definitely has major upside in my opinion.

There's a Patriots connection between new Texans GM Nick Caserio and Dolphins coach Brian Flores to consider too.

Miami has:

a young and talented team

no state income tax

only have the Bills as a threat to the division

plenty of draft capital

tons of cap space

he’d instantly be the best QB they had since Marino

 

oh and it’s Miami. Young, handsome and a multimillionaire

That's a big question mark to me.  In watching Tua this year, he just didn't look like he had the velocity for the big boy NFL throws and his mechanics looked awkward.  He looks a lot like a left handed Mac Jones to be honest.  Watch their tape back to back sometime.  It's a little eerie.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
