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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
