He's been more in the know for Houston sports longer than you've been alive. He's just saying what you don't want to hear. If he was saying "I think a trade should be coming soon" you would be spamming this board with him.

Everyone has said that he is not in the know as he used to be don’t poop on the messenger lol.

IMO if I'm Tepp and Fitt I throw one last hail mary in early April and if that doesn't go well then I immediately call the Dolphins and start discussing the number 3 pick.

We can’t get three if Houston ends up with it.

I think what’s weird and cool at the same time is I’ve really only noticed us being the only NFC people talk about trading for him, I mean I heard a little Bears and 49ers at first but that is quiet now just us.  Also what if Jets don’t want to trade Darnold, and I really don’t think Miami is ready to move on for Tua. Also Texans can get him out of AFC I really think we are favorites.

McClain is a local radio host.  I doubt he has any inside info on whether or not the Texans would trade for Bridgewater.

McClain is one of the Texans beat writers for the Houston Chronicle. He's covered them pretty much since their inception.

The Chronicle's other guy is Aaron Wilson, the guy who used to be the Ravens Insider.

Dude come on now, of course he has sources.  He is an incredibly respected journalist. 

So Houston doesn't want to trade Watson, but they are talking about who they don't want in a trade.  Makes sense

If this really is inside information, it means they are considering trading him to us...which is actually good news if you are wanting Watson. If they are considering it, Tepper is going to make it hard to say no. If you you really think Bridgewater is going to make a deal fall apart if we give them enough other pieces, then you are fooling yourselves. If they want a QB, there are QBs to be had out there that are better than TB that they can get for one of the picks we send them.

    • I mentioned this in another thread but i'll restate it here. Keeping a wait and watch approach and passing on the 5th year option kinda makes sense like obliquely, but in practice neither the team or the player wants it. The player doesn't want to risk injury when he could have at least another year locked up, and the team doesn't want to risk the player blowing up in their fourth year and holding the team over the barrel. If you're the QB and you're playing that well you obviously test the free agent market, and you'd probably be bitter about it as well.  modern first round qb contracts are essentially 3 year deals with the option of an additional 2 to put downward pressure on contract extensions. You either pick up the 5th year, extend with a new contract, or move on.  just sitting tight on the fourth year isn't a practical choice for any of the parties. 
    • The point was Miles Sanders wasn't just a guy in Philly. He was at least as good as Chuba has been in Carolina. 
    • I have not been impressed with our pass blocking since at least 2022. Still remember watching Darnold live against the Seahawks when we were dominating them in the run game and we still allowed far too much pressure on him regardless. It has not gotten much better since. In fairness to this year's unit, they have been hit by injuries. Oftentimes, even a mediocre overall unit is better than a stacked one if the former stays healthy throughout the entire season. Constant shuffling only means a much greater likelihood someone will blow their assignment and that's all it takes for a sack or worse.
