It's happening. (Probably)

I think McClain said a while back that they weren't interested in Bridgewater.

Yes, but he also said they won’t trade him and then today he says they will.

And any hopes of a winning season for a while.

The battle of the bastards looked bad too. Let's fight this out and see.

Tyrod and Teddy would not be the worst QB room.

 

Let's get it done.

Whats his value now with allegations and possible exempt list & suspension?

Unless the accuser kept that alleged apology text or they have security footage (and I sure as hell would if I was a female masseuse working from home) they've got nothing.  I hope the truth comes out but if it's on her side she's going to have a hard time proving it. I don't think it effects his value at all. Might just make it easier for Houston to cut ties.

If it’s any consolation, McClover said Burns is staying. He also said this:

It appears we do not have a choice, like we as fans ever do.  They are going to do whatever they want to do with this.  I just watch the games and hope we win.  If this does go tits up as the odds suggest it will I'm not sure how much more as a fan I can take from this team.

There are plenty of ways to build a team that do not require great first round selections, anyway. If we assume that we lose 2 first rounders and a previous first round selection, we're basically out two first round picks the next couple years but have found our QB of the next ~decade.  Seems like a good trade to me, but of course the devil is in the details.

also it's not going to be shaq thompson. he just restructured his contract. that'd be a brutal move. 

But doesn't that make them more appealing in a trade? We've assumed responsibility for the converted bonus and reduced the base salary for the acquiring team.

[TylerDurden]

No, but seriously, what are we waiting on?  Wouldn't they want to do it before the draft?

First round picks are overrated 

Deshaun Watson is underrated 

Until you have a franchise QB, you're garbage.  Get that, build from there in the 2nd-4th rounds, a good coach to develop guys, and sign FAs. People acting like our team is suddenly doomed because we don't have the 1 or 2 extra picks tossed into this trade as opposed to the picks we'd lose trading up for a rookie have lost their minds.  

If all else fails, copy the Saints cap wizardry and just sign whoever/whatever you want and need. We've literally seen entire drafts in this franchise where we came away with only 1 or 2 starters or even JAGs. Draft picks sound great...but proven players sound a lot better.

Buy low, sell high, Tepper and all's good.

The saints got one SB out of that and already had their QB.  Still had to cheat to win.  No thanks.

Also deshaun will be a big time sell for FA’s to actually WANT to come here.
