UGH....

Stop suggesting any type of trade for him, AT ALL.

There are WAY too many holes to fill, and spending all our capitol is not a realistic option.

A lot of you keep complaining "He had no team around him"...it will be even worse if you trade the farm for him and bring him here. 

I'm not sure you understand what having a QB of Deshauns caliber means for a team. We could draft top 5 for the next 5 years and not match it

Teddy CMC this years first and some other picks seems reasonable

but a All Pro QB for year's to come and wide open salary cap. Not sure the issue here. This is an exact situation where a GM proves he is worth the big bucks.

It’s not a wide open salary cap with the contract he signed. Look at my post right below your post that I jusy quoted and tell How you would fill these holes with his contract this year or in the future along with Teddys 20+ million and be able to compete (because that’s the entire goal).

We have about 15 major holes to fill while Watson takes a Cam caliber beating, I am just not sold.

Have patience and work the draft will lots of accumulated capitol, as there is plenty of talent to uncover without having to used top 5 rated talent, which isn't always guranteed.

People not wanting this trade would be ok trading the same assets to get to #3

This team has some odd fans. Get a top 5 QB? No. Let’s build through the draft and hope we hit on a QB! Yay! Let’s also win a meaningless game! Hurray! 
 

DeShauns worth the next 3 first rounders if I’m honest.

The salary cap would be wide open, especially after this year. And as I posted in another message on this thread, we wouldnt keep Watson at the current contract, we'd extend. Every single team who would trade for watson would do this. Pending on what players were dealt in this deal, we could create a massive cap gap. Also, the cap opens up extremely after this year.

Not me.

I am a supporter of accumulating capitol, trading down, and acquiring as much talent as possible to sift through so that some of the many, many holes can be filled.

Fine.

Trade a king's ransom for him.

Let him take the beating of the lifetime with a shitty o-line.

Let the defense suck even worse for years to come with crummy CB play, weak pass rush, and blown assignments.

Hell lets just become the Cowboys by doing dumb poo like this.

Sounds like a great plan, you've sold me hook, line, and sinker 

 

[TheCasillas]

Here is a list of teams in the 2020 draft WHO DID NOT HAVE A FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK:

1. Bills
2. Steelers
3. Colts
4. Rams
5. Bears

 4 out of 5 teams who made bold moves to get the player they wanted by offering a first round pick..... had winning seasons and ended up in the playoffs. You see a player worth the risk, you take the risk.

We have no where close to the resources the Dolphins and jets do.

And he has a no trade clause. So he can say no to both. Also, the Texans really gonna trade for the damn pick they traded? Texans probably don’t want him in the AFC.

Not me.  I am in favor of staying put at 8 and play the hand we are dealt.
