With seven lawsuits filed, five more promised, and at least 10 more possibly coming, common sense suggests that it has become difficult if not impossible for the Texans to trade quarterback Deshaun Watson. A Saturday report from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle suggests otherwise.

Wilson cites unnamed sources to support the claim that multiple teams remain interested in Watson: Eagles, Panthers, Jets, Dolphins, 49ers and Broncos

Sounds like:

-Watson played his last down for Houston

-He will be traded but not for another 6-12 months 

-His trade value took a major hit

Being interested and actually making a trade are two different things. With the current legal cloud(s) over Watson, anyone who trades for him would assume the risk that Watson will be suspended without pay, eventually. The new team also would possibly have to pay Watson, if he’s placed on the Commissioner-Exempt list while the various lawsuits proceed 

For now, it’s hard to imagine anyone trading for Watson. That could change in time. His lawyer, Rusty Hardin, has said that a response to the allegations is coming this week. With so many persons making claims against Watson, it won’t be easy for Hardin to make this all go away.

I for one am okay with a proven young talent at qb having to sit out for a year to let his body heal and recover from football especially if his trade value is going down. All of this is predicated on him being cleared of wrongdoing. I can't pull for someone who's a sexual predator off the field, but I'm perfectly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until the process plays itself out.

It would actually be really dumb.

Before wasting cap space paying someone through legal proceedings, a team should at least wait and see if the jury deems this as something that goes to criminal charges.

And no, the Panthers don’t have ‘inside info’ on 22 women and a jury that doesn’t exist yet lol.

probably means they have inside info that he'll be cleared.

best case scenario watson is innocent of suspendible offense and we save one of those first rounders or something 

Timing of everything has been just too screwy. Wouldn't surprise me that there isn't much in the way of fire to that smoke. 

I hope there isn't and that we are one of the few that know it and we steal him away for a bargain.

That's what the article basically says, that teams are interested if he's cleared.

John McClain said the same in a newer article. This one's actually a repost of one from Friday that was already discussed here

With all things being equal, none of the teams can blink yet. Until there is clear direction, then no team can surrender whatever position they had prior to the report. If he is cleared of any criminal wrongdoing then which ever team hung in there the longest will come out ahead.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
