REPORT: Nick Caserio: Texans have “zero interest” in trading Deshaun Watson

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.

    • I dont think you can fire him either but I do wonder what tepper would do if we dont crack 5 wins.   On the flip side we cannot let Dave pick a qb in the draft if his seat is hot.  Its a conundrum for sure.  One of Teppers makings.
    • Hate to say it but we can't fire DC right now. He was basically forced to work with BY as part of his conditions for being hired and hasn't really had the opportunity to get a QB of his own. That's not a good look when you're interviewing new candidates. A coach has to be given the chance to do his job with players that fit what he does and DC hasn't been given that chance. Fire him and you're putting another box on the list to keep coaches from coming here. Plus, Morgan needs to be given another year as well so he can either show he's can have a successful draft or he's a bust as well so the whole damn show can be flipped and started over with a president of football operations and build from there. No more hold overs. Empty the damn building and start with a brand new staff. 
    • It's both column A and column B. Bryce ain't going to make it as an NFL starting QB. At least not here and probably not ever, the physical limitations just can't seem to be overcome consistently. And that's a shame because, well, he's a good kid and I wish it had worked out for him and us. But also, this ain't working out here as a team. We're poorly built from bottom to top. There's no consistency in coaching, there's no team identity, there's no grit, no depth and seemingly little plan or resistance to market influences that get us to buy high and sell low. We have a few guys we call star players that would, well, be starters on other teams, and a crap ton of starters that would be back-ups, bench sitters or free agents outside of this organization. No QB is going to come here and have much success. Much like Rodgers with the Jets, we just don't have fug all for a team. The QB, no matter the pedigree, can't pull us out of the mudhole we have created for ourselves as we've wallowed over the last seven years. No matter how high we draft a QB here, we'd just be planting a seed on rocky soil. It wouldn't survive. Look at Mac Jones and how he has played over three games in San Fran. He was supposed to be a total career washout, another 'Bama Bust. Guy looks like he can handle the game, because he has a well coached, professional team around him. One that has a lot of injured stars, but still fights to win. And you can look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, two guys who washed up on our deserted desert island and floundered mightily here. But man, put them on solid teams and they both are living up  to their original draft status. To be perfectly honest, this poo won't change until we, as an organization, change down deep. There has to be a total sea change here. We can't make the owners go away, but we can pressure for them to blow this thing completely up and hire in a handful of consultants, perhaps retired GMs and HCs with winning programs in the N-fuging-FL. Then remake it all. Management, coaching, team, trainers, scouts, even equipment folks. Sorry, I'm tired of this pile of horseshit we call a team. It has just eaten alive the careers of many young athletes and all of us fans since the change in ownership.
