Texans now indicate Deshaun Watson is available for trade

It's an interesting idea.

I'd have to hold off and wait how and see how the legal troubles panned out.

And then you factor in what, if anything, the league may do about him.

Personally I'd kick the tires on Rodgers.  He might be getting a little long in the tooth but he could likely get us by until we managed to draft his replacement somehow.

But if a team decides to terminate the contract you have no issue with that.

The team cannot do so unless the player gave them the option, in writing.

If the player attempts to utilize his leverage (because he CAN'T terminate the contract) you howl like crazy.

What leverage?

The whiny bitch "oh my feeling are hurt" variety?

Yeah, no can do...

Players get traded all the time by “leaking” they want out. Hell it just happened with Julio. They apparently offered Rodgers the richest QB contract for his “whining.” Now it looks like Adams isn’t going to sign a long term contract either, it’s becoming quite the ripple effect. If more players from Green Bay follow they are going to be in trouble soon. Like it or not they absolutely have some leverage, especially the star players.

I don't really envision a scenario where we are trading for him if there is question as to his status. We are not describing similar scenarios at all.

Good, I don't envision it either. Kinda have a nightmare about us doing it, but hopefully wiser heads in the front office will keep us out of this trouble.

Rodgers would retire before coming here.

The guy just gets off on people being forced to submit to authority. It's bizarre. 100% chance his hard drive is full of some really fuged up BDSM porn.

Complete horse-hockey and more virtue signaling please!   LOL. 

Contracts are a 2-way street and agreed to by both parties...

...if either side feels it's unfair they should decline to sign.  

Own it.  

This feels like an over simplified child-like view. This is completely discounting the aspect of power imbalance and implicit coercion.

Another Packer getting pissed. No wonder they had an urgent meeting with their shareholders. Seems odd though, because I’ve heard the players have no leverage….

Certainly seems that something is amiss in GB.

If a team terminates a contract, the player still gets paid.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
