Unless Tepper has done some deep digging and has good reason to believe this scandal is a nothing burger, I want no part of it.

It’s sets a bad example and reeks of desperation. Character should matter. If there’s any credibility to these stories then it sends a wrong message to the fans. I also feel it will cost us too much. We have some serious home grown blue chip players emerging. And we’ll just make more holes to fill in trading them.
 

Love the talent, and if the allegations are all BS then by all means trade for him. But I don’t see how we win if he gets charged and or banned from playing.

The real problem here is our only strength is drafting talent and if we give that away we are depending on the coaching staff to evaluate very expensive trades and that hasn't worked out well. They need to stick to what they know, drafting college kids.

We should pass on Watson, continue to rebuild and draft our way out of this mess. The D is improved from last year and if we had CMC heathy this season we prob could add two more wins to our record and our QB wouldn't be mental.

Some people buy things just because they are expensive. Houses, cars, girlfriends. You know the type.

They never look behind the scenes and see what wise people do --  that there's no need for four more bedrooms than you have people, that the Bentley doesn't get you there any more reliably than a Toyota, or that the gold-digger is just there because you shower her with gifts. Sadly, though, those folks, when they're proven wrong can just put on their Tom Brady jersey and get tickets for another team's games.

Those of us who are more interested in the long term, and doing the right thing, are all about hoping DeShaun gets to travel to a state income tax haven state like Florida. There, he can sit on the commissioner's exempt list for a year or two while his peccadillos are investigated. We can rebuild like a smart team and avoid doubling down on our mistakes by taking Houston's mistakes into our own house. 

The cost is too high, the potential is iffy (the guy has been sitting for a year now and may have to for another, and honestly character counts -- there's no kind of guarantee he won't go out seeking masseuse/prostitutes again.

I can’t do it 

the cost  and his sexual history combined will haunt this franchise for decades 

I’m not sure where this investigation is going or the length of time it’s taking, nut I do remember Rae Carruth.   I remember Greg Hardy.  I remember the owner selling the family business vs letting an investigation go.  

I know the NFl is littered with this and worse but our franchise needs not to be part of this

I'm all in for trading for Watson, However I can't say at this point I'd trade the "farm". Right now I'd meet em somewhere in between let's say a 1 first but not next yr Robbie and one of our corners more than likely Donte but I believe the Fitt could get away with Henderson, and/or Bouye, hell I'd even throw in Ian Thomas, and 2 thirds neither of next yr. Still a lot of capitol but no way in hell do I give them 3 first and 3 starters until I know the outcome of the case.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
