His value isn't going to change tremendously over the course of a year, especially if they take less now then they should.  There will always be a market for elite QBs.  A players earning window is somewhat short also so if he sits out too long he will cut into his own earnings.

I do agree that between now and draft night will probably be the most likely time to trade him but my only point is if I'm the GM of the Texans I will let him sit out before I take a bad deal for him period.

You are trying to compare an offer next year to a good offer this year. I'm saying before I would take a bad offer this year I will keep him and let him sit at home.  I can get a bad offer next year also.

 

 

There will not be bad offers this year. They’ll get an absolute haul for him.

If the team has no leverage as you say why would the team that Watson wants to go to offer that much.

If Watson only wants to go to say the 49ers and if he really has all the leverage as you say why would they give market value for him?

If they do get a good offer than the Texans actually do have leverage and that proves my point.

I am a severe skeptic, but here is how I would go about it if we had to trade players and picks.

#8 overall, Shaq Thompson, and maybe a first rounder in 2022.  That would give Houston a place at the table and a pick to use to trade up (#8 overall + first rounder in 2022) to move up with Miami)---Houston gets a QB and a solid LB.

The Panthers would have to dump some cap, so Thompson is probably the only marketable cap figure we'd be willing to part with.  I think Houston would get a better deal.

I hate to tell you, but racism isn't exclusive to the Carolinas. And neither is unfair criticism of players regardless of race. Some people are stupid and stupid people are everywhere.

This is true, but the one thing you aren’t going to go do is go play for the racist city that fuged over your mentor.

Is there a package that doesn’t include future 1st picks?  I think we can throw in Teddy and 2nd instead

Joe Brady was said to have a good interview in Houston. The Houston job is still open. Joe Brady is still available to be hired as a head coach. Joe Brady likes Teddy Bridgewater. I see a perfect scenario! 

Oh, and you can still draft pieces to build your team in more rounds than the first. If first round picks were all it took, Marty Hurney would be an elite GM, and well....

 I know that I am late to the party, but the Jets and Dolphins--are they not 2 teams that have confirmed an intent to stay with their struggling first round draft pick QBs?  (Not sure what Philly is saying about Wentz/Hurts).

This seems to be speculation based on an assumption that Houston would be drafting a QB this year--he knew Jax is not trading.  Atlanta has Ryan for now, Cincinnati wants Sewell, one might expect.  Philly is a very wild card, but they could trade Wentz for Watson--or Hurts.  Detroit?  Nah.  So Carolina is an obvious choice/guess.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
