No one is giving the Texans even close to what they want given the massive black clouds hanging over Watson's head right now. They pretty much only have two choices - trade him for much less than they seem him to be worth or sit tight and hope the clouds pass.

 

Even if they traded him, the return (the draft picks) can't be used until next April/May. His value skyrockets as soon as there is clarity from the legal system/league on how much time he will miss. There's no reason to trade him before next offseason. He'll get a year off from getting hit every week behind the Texans Oline and cash those big checks.

I dont think they can just sit him indefinitely?  At some point he's gonna file a grievance with the union.

I think he will be gone by week 4 tho...  There's gonna be a team with playoff hopes that loses their starter in the first few weeks of the season that'll be willing to pony up more than what anyones offered so far.

IF his situation gets rectified. They're definitely taking a risk here. Without knowing exactly what teams were willing to offer currently it's impossible to gauge just how big of a risk.

For a guy who's in danger of going on the exempt list?

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
