Let's say you are Deshaun Watson, bias aside, where do you want to go?

One other detail, re: San Francisco

There's been a lot of chatter about them going after Matt Stafford. One or two people suggested they were already talking to the Lions about it and someone even speculated they were the front runner to land him.

Granted, this was before the Watson news broke, but it's probably worth noting.

The Dolphins make so much sense in every way it's almost like a match that is too perfect to happen.

They have 2 first round picks this year and Houston has none.  They have a young quaterback they could send back in return.  Great weather, no state income tax (when you make as much as Watson that becomes a big deal), and you only have the Bills to deal with in there division at least for now. 

They have a good young defense and lots of extra picks in the next 2 years to either send to Houston or add to the offense to help Watson.  It's almost so good it could not happen.  I said almost.

Only issue is that HOU is kind of handing something pretty amazing to MIA.   They'll be a perennial contender in the AFC for some time, sure not the same division, but that's just a sweet prize to trade inter-conference.  They have the cap, and will worst case a mid-round 1st for the next few years w/Watson. 

With the Jets, they've got the young gun coach, but again, inter-conference.  And what do they really have to give outside first rounders?  Quinnen Williams?

If the Texans were smart, they need to be targeting a proven talent to pair with these picks.

I'd want the Panthers because I'd like being close to home. If it was just about winning now, it would be San Francisco. That said, there are no guarantees so the Team would have to sell me on their plan.

Kyle Shanahan and their roster are probably good selling points.

Living in San Francisco as opposed to Miami? Eeehhh...

I'd agree that's a factor. Just don't know how much of one.

It's fair to point out that if you trade him to somebody within the conference and that somebody winds up beating you in the playoffs for years to come, that hurts...a lot.

Granted, that's scenario requires the Texans making the playoffs 😕

Miami.  - No state income tax (California Pro Sports income tax is retarded). Chance to win. Major endorsement opportunities.  Savior of a franchise.  Live the true luxury life if thats what he wanted.

Carolina - Major offensive weapons, low cost of living, good place to settle down, able to live low key life it thats what he wanted.  Good long term possibilities, not so much for short term. 

San Fran - Taxed out of mind, high expectations, extremely high cost of living. Best short term chance at a ring.

If I am him, I am thinking long term and head to Miami if he had a choice.  But he wouldn't turn Miami, CLT, SFO or Indy.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
