Texans now indicate Deshaun Watson is available for trade

The price should be significantly lower with the legal issues still pending. I can’t see it being smart for us now especially with the high ceiling Darnold has on the cheap. The only way I’d see it feasible is if there was some type of contingency put in like baseball (PTBNL) or the trade and some of the moving parts are nullified and voided if he is deemed ineligible for a long period of time (over a season).

I had no idea who this guy is or what his track record was, but a quick Googling turns up that he's pretty much just a typical "hot takes" radio jock. I wouldn't give this more than a coin flip's chance of being accurate.

Rapoport said the Texans haven't heard from anybody yet.

We've had wild rumors from Sileo on here before. He's not a reliable source.

The Texans aren't lowering the price. 

I haven't said this about the Texans much in the past, but that's actually smart.

@Mr. Scot That’s why I said should be. It’s under stable they don’t but in our situation currently it’s a decent risk. The question is does risk outweigh reward. I can see that getting him would help us significantly but only if a few chips fall in our favor. Mainly his suspension doesn’t hinder our development beyond this year. If he is slated to be suspended this year I would hope to keep this coming years first in exchange for a better long term draft value for the Texans. I also would hope certain players would be off limits. Jaycee Horn, Brian Burns, Derrick Brown, Taylor Motion, DJ Moore, Terrace Marshall Jr., and contingent on the draft pick allotment preferably but not necessarily Christin McCaffrey. Any scenario based around these contingencies would be great for us but not the end of the world if it differs. 

 

TLDR;

trade 2023 1st and 2nd 2024 1st and 3rd 2025 1st and 3rd 2026 2nd along with YGM, Donte Jackson, Sam Darnold and Shaq Thompson for Deshaun Watson

Even if I take the tweet at face value, I think it's club-speak and a toeing of the party line. The devil will be in the details. Just like any trade-acquisition transaction, Watson is going to the highest bidder. The market will ultimately set the price, not the Texans. This may be a case of how smart the Texans are, but it may become an even bigger case of how dumb some franchise becomes depending upon what they're willing to pay.

No one will ever know how much is "true." This will get settled, out of court, way before it ever goes to trial. There will never be a criminal prosecution because the evidence is flimsy at best. 

Having a legitimate young franchise QB, and the success that will follow from it, is worth much more than whatever lost revenue (if any) comes from the limpwrists that stop watching the team. 

It's not about revenue. And you're right, he's likely going to settle and get a slap on the wrist. But as an organization, you can't look past all of this and say success makes it ok. The damage you will do inside of the organization will be catastrophic. How many women will be willing to come work here knowing that's the stance of ownership? How many women involved in the team will be willing to stay? How many wives of free agent players will want to come to Carolina knowing that the only thing a player does that matters is on the field? Times have changed. We can't scream for equality and treat others as irrelevant just because of their gender.

And if it does turn out to be true, could you be in that locker room with him knowing he did that to someone's mother, daughter, sister, wife.  What if it was your sister? There's a lot of problems just waiting to be had in all of this right now.

There is no way in hell I would offer a trade package like that...for anybody

Sure as sh-t not for a guy with major red flags.

Current management has no other choice than to stay the course. Staying the course got them to this mess. They gotta ride this thing into the ground now.

To be fair, you can't really blame  Caserio or Culley. 

McNair on the other hand...

That was somebody "playing hardball" with Watson. His reputation was fine until this sort of class action round up of "accusers" before his public statements of not returning wanting a trade not showing for camp.

He was an outstanding guy before he got out of line. He's back in line now. Isn't he?

Does this also apply to Bill Cosby?

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • 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.
