Yeah they do. Their leverage is that there will be no shortage of teams interested in potentially acquiring Watson. Even if he's utterly done in Houston, they still have plenty of leverage.

 

Watson is a big enough name to have a say in where he goes though.

This is gonna trigger some people, but I'd trade #8, CMC, and Brian Burns for Deshaun Watson with zero hesitation. The problem is the Texans wouldn't take the offer.

I just dont think its necessary. It's not a race to get Watson. The Texans are absolutely fuged right now. They will not get the haul they would if it were the franchise's decision to trade him. They are going get shortchanged by all the possible contenders. It's really going to come down to an A-tier players 9no S-tier) and a couple draft picks. 

I'm more worried about SF than NYJ and MIA. I really don't think the Texans trade within the conference. They would be putting salt on the wound. Plus this would be the first move for a new GM, so he will want to prove himself.

Well the big one is Miami but they've said they're not interested, and I buy that given where the head coach is from. 

New England could do it and has the cap, but Watson might not want to go to the source of Easterby which is the problem. 

Chicago might be interesting, but that would cost them a poo load. 

Watson has a no trade and I can't imagine him going to the Jets. Same with the Jags.

I dunno, honestly Carolina kinda makes the most sense.

It is a race. It's a race vs. the other teams trying to get Watson. He's a 25 year old MVP caliber QB. The Texans aren't going to struggle to drum up competitive offers.

AND they have the cap space, draft capital and equally young QBs to swap in such a trade.  WE CAN'T DO IT.  Dream people.  Some folks will always chase a big name, ramifications and consequences be damned.  Just got rid of Hurney, Just got of rid of most of our dead cap, and finally will have some decent cap space.

Nope, chase the shiny object.

We can't beat the Dolphins if they are willing to throw Tua AND the same pick haul as us, true.  That's why we have to outbid them.  Maybe it helps Tua's star isn't nearly as bright either, the whole reason they're willing to move off him in the first place.

      Tmac= Slant boy 25 Renfrow= if 2021 maybe the best for dinkin Hubbard= found his hands in 25 Dowdle= great Rb hands Sanders= better catcher than blocker Horn/Tremay/Tremble/whoever get snaps= more than able to run short quick routes or stand in a spot close to LOS. Coker= should be able to add to the group That's plenty my friend along with two RBs with good hands. I know Dave is not Payton and BY isn't Brejesus. This group can pull off a Chinese copy of it tho......

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The fact that we're STILL questioning if he should be starting is all that needs to be said.   If this week doesn't turn out well, the boiling point could hit soon.  Don't think 0-3 does it, but it could be soon.  Considering our schedule, it may happen if things fall off the rails.   We have 3 winnable games by week 9.  If we're just sitting 2-7 or 1-8 after the Packers game, that would be near the end point of this situation in its entirety.    It took what, a 1-10 start to can Reich in his first year?  I think a 1-8 start to Bryce in his 3rd would be reasonable to politely end his tenure in Carolina.
