Good point, I’m no expert on salaries but it looks like we’d be picking up 10 million plus this year and 30 million plus thereafter. So the most obvious way to clear up the most cap space would be packaging CMC and a ton of picks for Watson and they take Darnolds contract. 

You can always make Houston take Some Of the salary for this year. It happens all the time. 
 

Darnold will definitely have to be a part of the deal. Rhule wouldn’t take a rookie QB in the draft because he didn’t want to have Darnold be uncomfortable competing for the job. I don’t see how Rhule can bring Watson in and keep Darnold.

Just a conspiracy do any of you think that CMC is part of the trade and that’s why he’s been out over a month with . 5 hamstring when he should have been back 2 weeks ago ? Or for Watson to come to us would he want CMC still on the team since he has final say we’re he is traded to.

CMC should be one of the few reasons why Watson would want to come here. This OL is pathetic. If there’s no CMC and I’m Watson, I would just sit out the rest of the season in Houston. Start again in the offseason when more teams should want to get involve.

If we get Watson AND keep CMC, those two contracts on offense would likely mean we can’t afford a better OL or players like Moore.  Plus we lose draft capital which would be the path to roll in rookies at key positions as alternative

Today makes senses because (unless you play Thursday) you get nearly a full week to get some practice reps in. With the Texans playing the Dolphins I wonder if it’s today for Carolina or next week for Miami. Honestly watch him still be a Texan after the deadline…

I’m pretty sure they play the dolphins on the 7th and the deadline is the 2nd? Not totally sure.

Bring him in early so he can learn the playbook and play vs New England. 

He won't be playing. I'm guessing he will be suspended at least the rest of this season the second he is activated. Depending on what this "investigation" yields and when it ends they may take some of his next year as well.

    • Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.
    • I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.
    • Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
