Quote

Jets fans, you might want to sit down for this...

John McClain, who has covered the Texans/NFL in Houston for close to five decades, said Wednesday that if Houston trades Deshaun Watson this offseason, it'll be to only one team.

"If they traded him, it would be [to] the Jets," McClain said in an interview with SportsRadio 610 in Houston.

 

McClain went on to explain that Houston isn't reaching out to other teams regarding a possible trade for their star quarterback. Plus, the organization isn't making Watson available in those conversations when other franchises have inquired over the last several weeks.

"Doesn’t mean they won’t do it eventually, but I guarantee you if they did it, [it] would not be for Carson Wentz and the Eagles,” McClain said.

The veteran reporter recently revealed that he expects Houston's asking price for Watson to be two first-round picks, two additional draft selections and a pair of "young defensive starters, at the least."

If this plugged-in reporter is right, that means Watson won't be moved unless New York blows them away with a package they can't refuse. After all, the Jets are arguably in the best position to make this trade happen with the organization's surplus of draft capital.

Maybe the package that New York hypothetically sends to Houston would feature picks that the Jets end up acquiring in a trade for Sam Darnold. New York has reportedly taken calls about their current quarterback and would certainly look to move him elsewhere if they can get their hands on a player like Watson. 

It all comes back to Watson in the end, as the 25-year-old can choose his destination thanks to his no-trade clause. The star is reportedly interested in playing for the Jets, though, so that should end up being the least of New York's worries if they attempt to get this deal done.

Why would you leave the 2nd most dysfunctional franchise in the league to go to the most dysfunctional franchise in the league?

Robert Saleh has a tonnnnnnn of clout in player circles. It was the best pick the Jets could make as HC. Plus Jets are in a much better position than the fuging Texans, who are an evangelical grift at this point. They have decent receivers and a young franchise LT. Adam Gase is just fuging horrible.

Nice post---SPV--I think the second pick is going QB anyway--now I am nearly certain Wilson will be a Texan.  Miami has to be the trading destination, but I would not rule out Watkins totally--until the ink is dry, anything can happen. 

It is more than likely that the first 4 picks, via trade or suckage rights, will go for QB--I am fairly certain no QB (fields, wilson, trevor, or lance) gets by #6.

We either sign a free agent (Trubiski, for example) or make a trade (Minshew, Darnold, etc.) or we move up with gusto--and I think we will do the latter.  I expect our first rounder, second rounder, and first next year will be spent moving up.  Thanks Rivera!

I would like to trade up to 5 and take whichever QB falls to us, or Sewell. The price should not be as high as 3 and therefore we'd keep more assets

I have said the same, but I wonder if Cincinnati is not already in love with Sewell and keeping Burrow off the season-ending stretcher ride.  We shall see.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
