If it's not done by the week of the draft, it ain't happening.

If the deal involves Burns or Chinn, it (hopefully) ain't happening. 

 

I wouldn't expect anything to happen until AT LEAST early April if Houston plans on taking a QB this year in the draft. They'll scout/vet the prospects, talk, talk some more, decide.  Expecting a Watson trade now, or in March, or even very early April isn't realistic.

Never cared enough to develop a breaking point

Same, I just hope they don’t trade away a half decade worth of first round picks for a player that might not even be relevant by the time the team has a first round pick again. Deshaun has already torn an ACL and we saw how fast injuries can end a promising young QBs career.

If we acquire a different quarterback or he's traded somewhere else, that'll be the end of the story. Until then, anything's possible.

That said, I don't know that he's going to get traded at all. Based on what I've read, doesn't seem likely. And if the Texans do change their mind, we're not in a good position to make the best offer.

Also, yeah the possibility of the Texans hanging on to him through a holdout does exist. As unlikely as it may sound, it is possible that they manage to reconcile with him on some level, or at least get him to agree to play even if he's not particularly happy..

I feel the likelihood of that last scenario is pretty small though.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
