Rapoport: Panthers expected to be in the mix for Watson.

[Gipetto]

This deal would never happen if cmc isn’t included and I would rather roll with a promising rookie if that’s the case.

My opinion on a fair trade compensation would be: 

8th pick this year

our second this year

Teddy Bathwater

a second next year

[Shocker]

A serious offer IMO:  CMC, Bridgewater, #8 and next years first rounder.

Bridgewater lessens the offer. That offer gets laughed at.

@Carolina Panthers let’s get this done guys

I'm still amazed that people think adding Bridgewater moves the trade needle one centimeter.

[SmokinwithWilly]

Bridgewater doesn't help any trade. He's our Brock Osweiler.

I wont say you are wrong, but I will say I highly doubt the Texans will sit on Watson.  Texans really do have little leverage in this situation. Your hypothetical works here, but will not work in the real life situation that is occurring. Watson WILL NOT be on the Texans roster come June.

I'm not saying he will or won't, I think he has a very good chance to force his way out.  I just don't agree that he is like a free agent, he isn't going to get to pick his destination regardless of what compensation the other team offers.

If the Texans say no to the 49ers but yes to the Jets, what does Watson do then?

Smart.

Gotta figure playing in Shanahan's system would be a big draw too.

Plus the 49ers are probably legitimately just a QB away from having a Super Bowl title already. To me, that is the best scenario for Watson imaginable from a football success standpoint.

Other than that, Miami seems like the best possible scenario for a "future bet" and living situation scenario.

Why would any tram want Teddy and his salary? He's not a trade asset. We'd be lucky to get anything for him.

[Shocker]

Bridgewater helps us make the deal.  Not Houston.  That is a reasonable deal IMO.  TB has only 1 year guaranteed on that deal BTW.

Well, it hadn't hit me till now, but you know who else Caserio has a connection with?

Adam Peters.

They worked together in the Patriots personnel department from 2003 to 2008.

Texans Send: Deshaun Watson + JJ Watt

 

Panthers Send: Teddy Two Yards, 1st round pick, Shaq Thompson, Efe Obada, and a 2023 7th round pick.

Hadn't thought about the 49ers being able to offer Jimmy Garoppolo..

Could see Caserio biting on that if the surrounding package was good.

I keep thinking any deal that might appeal to the Texans has to include a potential QB, makes it a lot easier to sell to your fans.  Also as you said in another post owners have egos, getting a QB might help swallow your pride a little.

Both Miami and the Jets can also offer potential QBs, either Tua or guys drafted this year.

People also need to realize that not all 1st round picks are created equal.  In reality the Jest 1st is probably worth 3 of your first.  Think about what it would take for us to move up to the 2nd pick.  If the Texans are really high on 2 QBs in the draft than the Jets pick is worth exponentially more than ours.  If they are really high on 3 QBs than Miami's pick is worth exponentially more than ours.  The Jets offering 3 first round picks is the same as us offering 5 1st round picks.  We don't have a QB (and don't say teddy) to offer in any package, maybe on draft night if Lance falls to us and they are really high on Lance.

Speaking of draft night, what about Atlanta, what if Texans really like Fields and he is there for Atlanta.  Could Atlanta package that pick along with others and trade for Watson, and then trade Ryan to someone else?

I could see us making a offer but at the end of the day we can't offer a guaranteed QB. We can offer draft picks, we can offer some really good young players, CMC, Burns, Brown, Chinn, some of which are still on rookie contracts which is a huge selling point, but we can't offer a QB.

If Im the Texans I'm trying my best to come out of this with a potential franchise QB.
