Miami no longer in for Watson

[Ja Rhule]

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson reports now-fired coach Brian Flores was a driving force in the Dolphins' interest in Deshaun Watson.

Robinson is not suggesting that interest led to the surprising firing on Monday, but it would seem to remove one of the most likely landing spots for the embattled quarterback. According to Robinson, the tandem of Flores and GM Chris Grier was one of the reasons Watson was willing to waive his no-trade clause. With half of that duo gone and Flores no longer pushing for the move, it is possible Miami looks elsewhere. Yet to be suspended or have any real developments in his situation, Watson will again be one of the stories of the offseason. 
 

That leaves the Panthers and Broncos as possible destinations.

Wow, I had that backwards in my head then.

Why would Watson want to come here?

He didn’t this past season and Tepper was willing to go a special kind of stupid to get him. Now? What has changed?

No one else wants him because of his charges. We just need to stop trying so hard and just draft a QB.

Watson would be foolish to come here. This franchise is at and all-time low and giving away the farm to get him will set this team back a decade.

His options...I still don't see this happening for us, no early picks after our 1st, no OL, and an idiot for a coach. We'll be trotting Sam out there again like a new OC will matter. 

[Ja Rhule]

Watson will likely settle lawsuit in next few months and his price is way down.  I think he could be had for 1 1st or even 2nd round. Too much baggage.

[4Corners]

Don’t want him here.

Panthers and Watson already had mutual interest, Watson was interested in Miami because of Flores... Tepper please be a savage and fire Rhule today and hire Flores.

[The Lobo]

He already denied us, why would he come here? On top of that, why would anyone come here?

That's being smart not savage

Why would any decent quarterback willingly join up with a lameduck coach and the worst team in the NFL with a historically bad offensive line?

I generally support keeping Rhule, but Flores is one of the few coaches on the market I would want.

Didnt Tom Brady just do this? Saved the coach's career as well. 

Bucs broke a ton of records (not good ones) the year before Brady came. They went out and got o-line talent and Brady in the same offseason. Arians went from all but fired, to a super bowl winning coach.....
