According to John McClain, they're prepared for that, and they mean it.

The only scenario he sees where they relent on this is if someone brings them an offer bordering on the ridiculous.

Easy to say that in January. We will see how they feel in the summer, if it goes that long.

It's kind of like watching a relationship with one of your buddies and telling him to rid of his GF/spouse because it is plainly obvious where it is all heading. But they double down to try and salvage it, only for more time to pass before the inevitable happens and they split up.

That's Houston and Watson right now. 

Your buddy? Lol come on man this has happened to all of us.

I don't think anyone is a big fan of it.   I generally would scoff at a player attempting to pull this off.  I think Watson simply is in position for it to happen.   And eventually someone is going to pull this off in the NFL. 

I just don't see how Watson sitting isn't worse overall (for the owner/team) than trading him.   And I have never seen an example where a player doing so would result in that.  It is a combo of Watson being Watson and the team being where it is that generate that IMO. 

 

I would think that there are owners around the league who hope that the Texan's don't give in.  I doubt many owners like the idea of players being able to force their way out.

Personally I do think Watson has a very good chance of getting out, I'm just not convinced its as one sided as most fans think. 

The Texans aren't going to give him away for nothing.

Jack Easterby probably needs secret service to walk around in Houston. 

people never learn about these Patriot folks.  Yeah, an oddity might pop up every now and then like Vrabel but they are almost always poison pills going into other organizations. 

There is a reason the "Patriot Way" works....Bill Belichick. And he also needed the greatest QB of all time.

I would say every owner hates the thought of it....even the one who landed him (if it happens). 

as I said, they have watched players in other sports begin to wield their power.  They know it is coming to the NFL to some degree.  And none of them want it.

It was going to be an interesting offseason anyway with the salary cap retracting and some teams being in dire straits now you add this Watson saga and it's going to be a page turner.

I don't think any of us knows how this is going to end up, so it's pretty fun to wildly speculate right now.

I do think the price will not be as steep as the Texans want it to be. I think they will inevitably have to come down off their rumored cost. IMO, not many NFL teams or NFL GM's are going to be willing(or some even able) to give up that kind of haul, even for a guy like Watson. 

We'll see though.

Bill minus Brady - 2 winning seasons, 6 losing seasons. 

Brady minus Bill - 1 winning season

Yeah, I think we should wait before we completely write the last chapter of that story. It may end up like the Kobe/Shaq episode. Success for both parties but just not nearly the level of success they had together.

I know a lot of people think Caserio is gonna be great.

I'm not one of them.

I've seen enough of him to know that he knows sh-t, but I don't think that's gonna help him.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
