SI Report + Houston NFL reporter of 45 years: It's beyond over for us (Deshaun Watson)

[musicman]

What happens if team don't blow away Houston with an offer? It will be toxic if he stays there. They might be forced to take less just to move on. And the longer or closer to the draft it gets and no deal is better for any team wanting him.

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

Rational people have known it was over before it started. 

As well as it being an idiotic move for a team like the Panthers.

[LinvilleGorge]

Why would the Texans insist on trading him only to an in-conference opponent? Sorry, that's just not adding up.

[Jorgie]

fug the rams we couldve had stafford for a fair price and been in a good position going into the year

And Robert Saleh, whom he wanted Houston to go after.

Houston’s ideal trade partner is the Jets obviously. 

If I’m Houson, I take Darnold, 2nd overall and another 1st +++. Then I trade back down from 2, collecting another 1st rounder and change.

Joe Douglas has quite the decision on his hands. He had a nice first draft and with the draft capital and cap space he has, he could put together quite the team if he believes in Darnold 

[Moo Daeng]

This info is in regards to the Texans decisions. So....I don't see the relevance of Watson/Saleh connection or market size to the decision making of the Texans.

In short, the Texans logic here is not connected to Watson's desires.

Well damn... AS long as a reporter said so..  

 

I can imagine another fanbase taking something as gospel because David Newton said it to be fact.

We need to inception McNair into trading us Watson for a 5th rounder.

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

The decision makers have said the same thing.

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