Fair enough. I don't see how a Watson trade could be reasonable though considering the stupid trades made for rookie QBs in the last decade. RG3 was what, three first rounders? Or was it two? Then this past draft, it was 3 for the third QB. And those trades were just for potential, not a proven, young QB like Watson.

Well, he doesn't want to play for the Texans and he isn't budging. Plus you have this legal matter that is a PR nightmare. At some point you just cut your losses and that appears to be where the Texans are at.

Because she's basically a lying via opinion and we get on other posters about that so why let this slide? I could say everything she said and I would get ran off this board 

Lol. Okay, so she is lying. Why do you read her posts? Are you aware of the "Ignore" feature?

Because for those that don't believe she is lying, we are getting a little tired of your weird hysterics.

It's more absurd for draft picks because you don't have to account for their salaries as rookies, so teams are willing to give up more draft capitol. 

Watson, is 40M on the cap in 22' & 23' then down to Mid 30s in 24' if memory serves when I looked at his numbers the other day. The question here is how will the guarantees be handled, what will HOU be accountable for and what will we be accountable for. 

My surface understanding is they would pay his bonus money, and we would assume the base salary annually (see the T2G trade to DEN for reference)

So that would drop the cost for us a bit financially. My estimate is two 1sts, a mid rounder in 23', and potentially a player or two, I saw D Jax / Thomas' names thrown around in a mock trade.

The reason those trades cost so much draft capital was because of the low cost of rookie deals.

A young vet QB entering his prime will need to be paid accordingly and that factors in to the price a team will pay to acquire him.  

Houston can not use him, his off field issues and salary all impact what the Texans get.

Any price you hear in the media is probably the Texans trying to drive up the price or start a bid war.

Draft picks are what they are.  First rounders don't seem to have as much value to NFL front offices as they do to fans.  Hell, San Francisco traded 3 firsts from freaking Trey Lance....and y'all are telling me thats too high of a price for Deshaun Watson? Who Trey Lance can only dream of being as good as one day in the future?

You're one of the people who ran off Dan Morgan on a new account or something aren't you?  Good lord.

By this logic no one should ever report on anything until it's already happened.  @Verge passes along information from a source, most of us appreciate that.  I personally do.  You're free to distrust that source but in what world is "I don't like this I need to shout it down to cleanse my space of it" a thin.....oh wait nevermind.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
