Hypothetically We Land Watson

This is actually incorrect. His cap hit in 2021 is very low, $10.54 mil but his 2022 cap hit is $35 mil which would be the second highest paid year(after 2023) of his contract. These figures are assuming he is traded, they are substantially higher for the Texans with his prorated bonus money added.

Yeah, they still have 2020 figures on OTC, by the time I realized I couldn't edit.

LT - draft in the 2nd round. Eichenburg, Radunz, Mayfield may be options. 

LG - sign Joe Thuney. 

C - Paradis (one last year)

RG - draft Humphrey, Meyers, or Dickerson in the 3rd round. Play here for a year, move to center in 2022. Draft a RG in 2022

RT - resign Moton

 

You have 2 rookies starting, but have experienced guys playing next to them.

I've mentioned it before but I'd like to somehow keep 2023s 1st rounder.  I'd rather stretch things out and add players, but it could make our offer less valuable than Miami, NYJ or elsewhere who both have Tua and Darnold respectively.  I also think we try to package HOU's 2nd rounder in 2022 which will basically be a first. Or maybe their 2022 3rd.  That way, we retain (3) top-80 picks next year.  The hit won't be as hard 

My ideal package would be:

2021 1st (#8)

2022 1st

2023 3rd

2024 1st

Shaq Thompson

Teddy Bridgewater

(hell, maybe toss in Donte Jackson)

for

Deshaun Watson

HOU 2022 2nd/3rd

--

So then next year, we either have (2)2nds+3rd or 2nd+(2)3rds in lieu of a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. 

We don't lose any crazy talent & I could see Shaq being valuable to Houston.  Houston may try for a better player but we can't have Chinn & Burns in discussion IMO.  As much as I hate it, WRs are producing all over so I don't think we can or should have DJ off limits 😕

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
