It is only illogical if you feel passionately that the only resolution to this situation is not trading Watson.  There's a range of possibilities, and one certainly is trading him for a ton of picks, so they can actually get people that want to be there.

Concur 100% that the range of options is vast but there's zero logic for concluding the Texans  have softened their stance...

...the only person/party who has given ground so far is the player.

You ignore or dismiss media reports that disagree with your stance.  Watson's stance hasn't changed.  He doesn't want to play for the Texans next year...

Has there been a media report with an attributable source that says the Texans have an interest in trading the player?

His stance has changed, he caved and took a meeting. 

Clearly he doesn't, but he's under contract to the Houston Texans...the team is in the control position.

To be fair, the team has tried to call and reach out to him several times since the season ended. He finally responded and met with them to reiterate, he doesn’t want to play for them. You are right though, it doesn’t mean they will still trade him.

Agreed.  Agreed. Agreed.

I fully acknowledge the fact that a trade is in the set of possible outcomes.

I hope they don't trade him.  I don't think they should trade him.  I don't think they will trade him.

I very well may be wrong.

That said, it seems the vast majority of the credentialed press and a major swath of the general public are placing 0.00% on the chances of the Texans holding the player to his contract...

...that's a naive position to take.

His stance was that the coach wasn't going to change his mind... and it didn't.  Meeting with the coach isn't caving, lol.  In fact it demonstrates that he's doing this right and showing the Texans he is serious. They're not going to convince him to stay with their coach hire.

There have been no reports that Watson is willing to play with the Texans under any circumstances.  So it is the same as it has been.  While Houston hasn't made a trade yet, there's still lots of time for them to do so.  Or, I suppose, for Watson to change his mind - but that, to me, seems less likely given his current stance.

We really don't have any on-the-record confirmation that a meeting did take place, but...if the reported zoom call really did take place, why do you think the player agreed to participate?

And, why do you believe there is zero chance the player will change his mind but the team will?

Don’t blame Houston for not wanting to trade him. But they f&$@ed up. They should have not gave him a no trade clause contract extension...

         I think Watson knew what he was doing when signed in September.. with his 24 mill net worth and all the health concerns that come with playing football long term why not ...

       many of us would happily retire with ease with a 24 mill net worth at any age .. Texans don’t have any draft capital for the next few years ... best move is too get rid of him ASAP ..

         they did good job getting the price super high as is .. pull the trigger the longer this plays out the worse it gets for the Texans ...

So he's invoking the (non-existent) my-feelings-are-hurt clause to welch on his contract?

It’s a dirty game. But basically trade me or I’ll show up week 10 and just go threw the motions clause ... if he cares about money and 24 mill ain’t enough and then cave ,. But why risk long term health and playing in a toxic environment for the next few years or logner with the franchise tag if you don’t care about money ... that’s the 156 million dollar question ., Texans trying to call his bluff will only make the value get worse ... trade him now while it’s high before it gets worse

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
