Watson just sent out a tweet a little while ago talking about how important loyalty is to him.

 

I'm guessing a certain someone will be along here sometime today and run with that.

6 firsts and 6 seconds and 6 thirds + CMC, Burns, Chinn, Teddy, Brown, DJ For Watson. Would you do it?

Tepper purchased the Panthers at a lesser dollar amount than what his competition was offering! Remember that?

That was because Tepper had cash and Navarro had an ownership group. 

Richardson wanted a clean write a check sale, and Tepper was the only bidder able to buy the team for 2.3 trillion cash.

I'll say again what I've said elsewhere.

What on God's green earth does Jack Easterby bring to the table that the Texans would be willing to keep him amidst all this when it's pretty obvious that firing him would be a huge step in the right direction?

Heck, from what I've read, firing him would be a good idea even if none of this had ever happened.

Make it 5 thirds and send it

Richardson or the NFL?

I ask because if I remember correctly, Richardson's son Mark was throwing support behind Ben Navarro.

We don't have the capital, but they (Dolphins and Jets) are both in position to take a qb in the draft or go with what they have--why would they trade a bunch of picks, etc.?   Panthers need to attempt to trade with Miami and let Houston know--if they think eliminating 2 suitors will drive watson's price up...

Why is Miami all of the sudden being portrayed as this team ready to sell the farm to get a QB this year?

Tua had a solid rookie season and I heard NOBODY before Watson say Miami was ready to move on. Why in the He$$ would Miami give up a top 3 pick and 2 other 1st rounders AND their 2nd year QB to get another QB? 

Is Watson better? Probably, but they're not giving up their whole stockpile of picks for him.

NYJ have Zach Wilson in their grasp, I seriously doubt they're giving up the farm for Watson.

Could've been NFL. I know the vetting was part of it, but I think the NFL wanted Richardson out fast, so the fact Tepper had cash and was vetted netted him a discount.

In January, they said they were going with Tua--they draft an injured QB, no OTAs, camp, preseason, etc. and they are ready to move on?  That is crazy.

You are right--they have about $27m in cap room and must re-sign players.  They have 2 firsts--the smart play here is to move back, add a second, and still get the T and WR in the first.

If history is an indicator of future behavior the Texans are gonna make the worst decision possible here, which means they aren't gonna trade Watson before the draft bc of McNairs ego

[ImaginaryKev]

This is a broken situation and the best thing they could do is resist Sunk Cost Fallacy and get a ton for him asap to salvage their bad managerial decisions but they aren't, they're gonna wait til after the draft when teams have already moved on and selected QBs and diminish their only assets trade value, cutting of their nose to spite their own faces bc they don't wanna look weak in this situation. Just a mess

Texans said they won't trade him. Start looking at Wilson. Just send a first, third, next year's third, conditional second and a fifth
