Report: Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston, no matter who the coach is

I might be in the minority in this but I hope this doesn’t become a trend in the NFL. I don’t know what happened in Houston and not saying Watson is or isn’t justified in wanting to leave. 

With that said...I’ve stopped watching NBA altogether due to the ever growing trend in players dictating where they play and who they play with. It sucks the fun out of the competition for me. Prima donnas creating super teams and chasing rings just doesn’t carry the same excitement as the organic experience that there use to be.
 

Just my opinion, poo away if you’d like. 

That's why there are salary caps in the NFL. Plus, there are so many players involved, it's highly improbable that a "super team" can be created by buying players, or players trying to make bank as they create a juggernaut with their friends. It's just a totally different animal! That's why I could care less. Owners have far too much power IMO.

Unless we really find a way to finesse the cap losing multiple years first round picks is a hard pill to swallow for just one guy. Generational talent or not. The WFT is still in turmoil because of RG3. 

Big difference trading for a proven QB than a rookie prospect. Watson is worth it. I'm not usually a supporter of trading away a lot of draft assets, but the way Rhule coaches up players, I think this team could win in 2021 and beyond with Watson at QB. 

Otherwise, they either need to hope one of the top QB's falls to them at 8, draft a rookie QB in the later rounds, or just suck it up and roll with Bridgewater for another season. Another all-defense draft might make for a top 5 defense in a year or two.

We literally have no offensive line right.  As in nobody but paradis is signed.  We ain’t competing for jack in 2021.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
