Deshaun WATSON Officially Requests Trade from Texans

But he gets to choose where he goes. If he wants the Carolina  then we will get him. It isn’t like the Texans hold all the cards. 

That's not really true.

He can veto trades, yes, but the Texans aren't just going to give him away for less either.

You also have to ask yourself what Watson wants. Right now he's more likely to want a trade to Miami or SF than the NYJ, or Carolina. We're still a ways from competing and we wouldn't be able to add much help for a few years with a blockbuster trade.

The biggest problem is we don't have the draft capital those teams do. 

True. Which means we'll probably have to give away to much. Guess I'd still rather get behind exciting losses, rather than expected losses.

Unfortunately, I bet that someone won't read this thread and will start a new thread sometime today about that tweet. 

Welp. Close enough.

I so get it, but I'm thinking about 3 and 4 years from now. I always try to think about it as: Where do I want to be from our rock bottom point?

I think you can build a roster and compete for Super Bowls in 2023-24. I think some of these big trades push that back to 25-26 with our current talent level. We'd just end up with teams that are good enough to make the playoffs, and not good enough to win it all.

I think if anybody's hoping that he's got his eyes focused on the Panthers and no one else, they're gonna be disappointed.

It's like the 5th place team during the College Football Playoff selection time when Notre Dame is at 4, and just lost by 75 points.

Sure, in theory, you should be in the College Football Playoffs, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Only if you are fetched in the head we would trade for Watson because that alone will put us so deep in a hole with a full rebuild by giving up a handful of our start players. That alone is not worth it but with him in a Panthers uniform would be good at a decent price without going overboard.

So, that is a Luke, Ryan Khalil, Christian McCaffery and Shaq Thompson for Deshaun Watson. 

Saiyanara Luke! Hasta la vista CMC! Kick rocks Shaq! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Ryan!

Guys we have a big advantage here.. the two teams that can offer more than us are in the AFC!!! NO WAY they trade him within the AFC right?!?

I wouldn't count on that.

I would wager only the AFCS are the only ones they will really not want to deal with.  While the general preference might be the NFC they aren't going to turn away a good offer from a AFC not in their division.

I don’t know if this has been said or not, but Watson’s people are saying they did NOT leak this info.

It came from the team.
