It's the audacity of the Texans to demand the same or more draft capital for Watson regardless of his legal status.

I have heard 3 first and 2 or 3 seconds.  It's insane demands for someone who could miss this year and possibly a year long suspension from the NFL.

Who wants to trade for a QB who could not see the field again until 2023.

Seems like this is exactly how a team that doesn't want to trade their franchise QB would act...hmm.

Of course they don't want to trade him but what is their option.  Is Watson going to put stats up holding the clipboard?(which I doubt he'll do) or being a sideline distraction?

Watson has made it clear he doesn't want to play for Houston.

I guess this is turning into a who has bigger balls.

This exact same refrain has been has been spooned out by literally dozens of "reporters" since early this year...

...the only thing that's changed is now the 2022 draft has replaced the 2021 draft as far as timing for his "best chance" 🤣😅

They should name Mr. Whip It Out the starter and force him to play if he wants to be paid.

If they tell him to go into the game and play...

...he has to...

Why would they force a player to play who refuses to play? That would be a terrible move. Would you want him leading your huddle?  Is he really going to run the offense they way the staff wants? What are they going to do if he doesn’t?

Name him the starter.

Too bad...shouldn't have signed a legally binding contract obligating him to play for Houston.

Right now, I'm not sure why Watson doesn't just go ahead and play. If he wants out, he's going to have to show teams he is worth the cost that's being asked. Right now, no one is taking the offer. He's going to have to make some team willing to cough it up before the trade deadline once they know they are desperately in need of a QB. Having a couple of wins under his belt (because the wins will be on him considering the Texans' team quality) will make him more attractive.

Personally, I see Jameis Winston flaming out fast and Sean Payton diving into this to get a QB he can work with that needs no development. Scandal? This is Sean Payton... he has more experience navigating scandals than an editor at TMZ.

He gives them the best chance to win.

Absolutely.

He better.

Suspend him without pay.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
