Unfortunately it will be till March. But if you can stand 4 months of draft talk I think we can stand this. 

Draft talk is a cornucopia of rumors, trade talks, prospects. This is the same BS we’ve been hearing and posting about for grossly 2 weeks now and the needle hasn’t really moved.

Y'all realize that his no trade clause gives him the right not decline being traded to a team he does not want to go? Meaning if he doesn't want to go to the JETS, he does not GO there. Watson has leverage here guys. If he wants to play for you he will accept the trade. 

Is that still true if he formally requested a trade?

Jonathan Jones estimated it would take first round picks, Christian McCaffrey and Brian Burns.

Other teams have way more draft capital than we do. And if you're counting on Watson saying he only wants to go to the Panthers, that's probably a pipe dream.

Doesnt matter what other teams got. That clause has to be satisfied. Not a pipe dream.

You geniuses who keep saying we can't outbid the Jets and Miami know that there's nothing they can offer that we can't just compensate for by adding picks from additional years yes?  There's no Stepian rule in the NFL as far as I know

You have to look at cap space, too. And let's not forget New England has a poo-ton of cap room, need a QB and so does Indianapolis. And nobody seems to be thinking about them.

If you're clinging to the idea that Watson is going to demand he be traded to the Panthers and the Panthers only, and that because of this the Texans are going to trade him for less than what he's worth, you're likely going to wind up very disappointed.

no trade clause.  couldnt he force a trade with us if our organization was where he wantd to play?

Not that easily.

But like I've said a couple of times already, anybody who thinks he's absolutely got his heart set on playing for the Panthers and will force the Texans to trade him for a lesser offer just to play for us probably needs to put down the Madden controller.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
