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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
