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.

      I believe in bryce...

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
