Deshaun has to know that his contract PLUS losing years of top picks will tank his chances of near term success on a new team.

If I’m him, I pick one team and say I’m only going there. 
 

That should lower the price to a more reasonable level and allow his new team to build around him.

He can do that as long as he doesn't do it publicly.

Letting it be known that you're only willing to play for Team X effectively kills the trade market.

Considering word has come out that he actually requested a trade weeks ago, I think they have probably already identified the team they want to trade him to, and are now working out the fine details.  I expect an announcement that a trade has been agreed to very soon.

I think the official announcement of his trade request is the marker that things are about to get very interesting.  I really do think we have a great shot at landing him.

That assumes they're willing to trade him though. I'm not so sure that's settled.

And to be clear, the Texans weren't the ones who announced this.

What makes anyone think McNair is even capable of getting good value in return for Deshaun? Look at how they've handled this situation so far. 

Would it shock absolutely ANYONE if this franchise messes this up further and gets waayyy less than adequate value that a franchise QB would normally demand?

If I'm the Panthers I'm absolutely taking a shot bc recent history suggests the Texans can't do anything right and we could possibly get him for less than he's worth.

When was the last time a big name player demanded to be traded, and they were not in fact traded?  That ship has sailed, it appears this relationship is beyond saving.  If there were not going to be a trade, they would not have released word that Watson officially requested one.

Again, wasn't the Texans who released this.

As far as their relationship, I don't think it'll ultimately be repaired but that doesn't mean they're not going to try.

Yeah, that dude doesn't work there anymore. Caserio does.

McNair himself wasn't really directly responsible for the prior bad deals, though it's fair to point out he was the numbskull who put Bill O'Brien in charge.

It's more about the long-term than the short-term IMO. A team like the Dolphins or Niners could give up a ton of draft capital and still field a very good team... for a little while. But if you make that trade that was suggested for the Niners giving up 1sts and 2nds for the next three years, yeah that's gonna create a serious talent void in future years that you're gonna be feeling for awhile.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
