Per source, Carolina is one of Deshaun Watson’s preferred destinations if traded.

Common sense says he is more likely to be shipped to an NFC team. 

I think about the only thing we can definitively say is he won't go to a team within the same division.

I'd agree they would ideally want him in the NFC, but if an AFC team makes a better offer than an NFC one, I don't know that the Texans would care enough about it to take less.

Just give the Texans our entire 2021 draft picks + Teddy and call it even. We can start back thru the 2022 draft. All we got out of the 2011 draft was Cam Newton and he alone changed the direction of this stupid franchise for 9 years.

Super Bowl? Cam got us near the promised land but no Championship.  Deshaun would be similar.  Sorry our current roster is NOT merely a QB away.

This is a fine idea...they want more though

If Fitterer makes this happen he will should get a key to the fuggin city

Yea Watson does not hold all the power, a contract is a contract if Texas really wanted to they could say no to any trade and force him to stay, play or not

it’s a two way street, a no trade clause is beneficial for both parties not just Watson. the texans are interested in capital and Watson’s is interested in moving on to continue his career unobstructed 

what’s most likely happening is the Texans asking for a list of at least 3 realistic teams, that’s what Watson gets

Then the Texans pick the highest bidder of said teams, with no regard to whether Watson wants to go to one more than the other, that’s what the Texans get

The Panthers would have to be one of those few teams AND outbid the others- I just don’t see that happening

Why would he want to compete with Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, and Mayfield in the playoffs every year? It might be smart for him to want to hop over to the NFC.

Again, if Watson didn't want to be traded the no-trade clause would have meaningful inherent value...

...in that he's absolutely pining to get out -- the no-trade clause is virtually worthless.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
