This is about as vague as you can get.   I would bet dollars to donuts nobody is trading for Watson until the league makes a move on him.

I could see Tepper and Fit moving if we give a 1st and a late round pick next year if we found secure him and keep Darnald. Other than that I doubt we touch him unless the texans down right release him.

But what exactly is the crime? I'm guessing solicitation of prostitution but that's all I can think of. Still each count carries max 5 years so he could serve time for it.

If true - according to several complaints there is much much more than solicitation. I am not sure where you got that idea.

And since this is my field, the FBI is investigating extortion, not Watson, which the feds will often take if it’s interstate and/or conveyed electronically (and this seems to be both), because of the complexity and varying degrees of laws between states and the lack of communication and cooperation there would be not only between states but also in gathering evidence from such entities as websites, email accounts, phone/cellular tower records which are extremely difficult  for one state to obtain for a variety of areas (essentially the fact the crime did not occur in what could be defined in a central location).

I got that idea because you could actually prove that in court. A DA isn't going to pick up a case on he said she said and you believe the woman. I'm pretty sure you could convict that he was trying to solicit sex. Yes there are other claims but like I said solicitation is a federal crime.

To translate, FBI involvement is about possible extortion by a woman against Watson. The action was not even initiated by Watson's team purportedly. So stop jumping to conclusions. It's just another twist in the saga.

That would be a huge twist and I would like to see him prove extortion as well. Definitely an interesting case.

This is currently a civil case, not a criminal case.

A criminal case, however, can stem from all of this.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
