They’re also worth Shaq Thompson, Vernon Butler and Kelvin Benjamin 

Don't think it's fair to put a team leader and one of our current best Defensive players in the same category as those scrubs. Come on, people seem to hate the guy just because of his contract.

You realize this is a thread about a trade for him, correct? Or are you that fuging dumb?

Did you think this was a Texans forum?

I said his contract is huge as it stands right now.  It is a huge risk.  I can’t type English any better for you.

You can try backpedaling all you want but in the context of this thread your post makes absolutely zero sense. Why the fug would we care what the Texans are on the hook for next season in a trade thread?

Just admit you had no idea about the NFL salary cap and how it works.

You are so smart…I will let you have your moment.  Enjoy it

I would rather invest that draft pick into a new QB, and the left over money into OL to protect him. Or vice/versa. That would be most logical...

I am not against the idea of investing draft capital in a QB but we had that chance in 2021 and passed. We spent money in 2021 to try and protect Darnold but it was unwisely spent. So, what do you propose to do in 2022?

This article claims he would be a $35 million cap hit in 2022 if traded. Throw in Darnold’s $18 from that terrible decision and that’s a lot of money at the QB position… 

I wish it was $18. That would be getting what we paid for.

Right so use the money/picks to build around Darnold or draft a QB to compete with him. And still use the money for an OL. Logical route.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
