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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
