The source is important though. One highly respected and the other is not.

This is the same dude who had to eat a newspaper on TV because he was so sure the Texans would take a QB and not Clowney #1. 

He may be right on the Jets deal. They have the most attractive package to work from.

But he's a sports writer with 45 years of experience covering a team that's played 19 seasons and whose leadership has been there about 45 minutes. I'll roll the dice he knows about as much as anyone on a Texans message board.

I wanted DW here, but assumed it was a pipe dream, simply because:

  • #2 overall > #8 overall
  • #23 overall > #39 overall
  • #34 overall > #39 overall
  • 2022 NYJ 1st round pick > Carolina's 2022 1st round pick
  • 2022 NYJ 2nd round pick > Carolina's 2022 2nd round pick
  • Darnold  > Teddy (only because of age, ceiling and contract)

It sucks for HOU that DW stays in the AFC, but the ROI is worth it. Can't be scared to be the best.

If we got Watson, we'd be playoff bound....or at worst, our draft pick would be 18th or higher. I don't see the NYJ besting that next year.

With this years draft being such a crapshoot due to limiting scouting it may be smarter for them to hang onto Watson until after the draft. 

We could see a lot of trades this year for players already on rosters due to teams not valuing their 1st rounders as much. 

This is also wishful thinking from me. We could really use one more year worth of draft picks to solidify a solid core of youth for a QB to slide in and put us over the top.

Plus they have SEA 1st in 2022 plus a 3rd and a 4th from them as well. If I’m the Jets I go all in for him. Mainly because they can withstand the loss of picks because of having extras and a large amount of cap space to fill in the holes those picks would have.

I'm not counting on Watson ever being in a Panthers uniform, but until I hear from him, I won't believe that he's interested in playing for the Jets (or anyone else). 

I'm sensing that this could drag on into the season, certainly past the draft, and if that's the case, anything can happen. 

Until I hear from him or his agent, I take all these reports with a block of salt!

Mcnair and Casserio said they would only trade to the jets? I thought they said "we are not trading the player"

The team's position is that they're not trading him at all, and McClain echoes that.

He said it would be the Jets if they changed their mind, but he doesn't believe they will.

Right now, most people don't.

So what you're saying is that win against Rivera, the moral victory, ended up costing us Watson. Sweet. Sweet.....

Nobody is saying that. The win would have never put us ahead of the Jets in the draft order.  Where did you come up with that?

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
