There should be no issue with Watson waiving his trade clause per ESPN.

I just want this crap to be over. Whether he comes to us or some other team I wants this Watson trade to happen to we can stop talking about it. 
Unless he is on our team the I guess the complaining won’t stop. 
I hope we don’t end up in a situation where Watson is carrying Rhules butt. We still need a new coach.

I’m telling you, Cam Newton is going to play a role in this if it comes to pass. He will 100% be Watsons backup and may even be helping pitch the idea of Carolina to him. 

This will not happen.  We already have 18 million on the books for a backup QB.  You don't get to add 35 more for Deshaun and still sign Cam.  That would be a truly masterful way to completely throw the team in the toilet. 

We paid Cam what, $6 million for half a season last year?  Would he suddenly take four million for a full season with NO CHANCE to play?  Come on man, have you followed Cam?  He wants to play.  With Deshaun here he would offer us literally nothing.

Not to mention our other needs!

Our OLine was historically awful.  Taking on Watson's contract effectively means we have ZERO cap remaining.  Oh, and we just gave up our chance to fix it this year in the draft.

We need a franchise QB.  I'm just not sure the asking price is one we can pay while getting the best out of our team.  Burns is surely gone.  Reddick is gone.  Gilmore.  Jackson.  DJ's extension would be that much harder.

We could easily win a few more games next year with Watson - but we wouldn't be a better team.  We'd waste the best years of our franchise QB's career trying to build a team around him.  Getting your hands on a franchise QB in this fashion won't get you to the SB.

That was a lot of text and nonsensical rambling. Cam is one of Deshauns mentors.

Why? Where is the incentive for the Texans to do that? The NFL is not like the NBA where you have to match salaries.

in some cases to make the deal happen... If Texans have the cap space to take on SD in the deal and we throw in a 4th for them to eat it, then they would agree to it. Thus freeing more space for us this FA.

Regardless, I expect us to ship SD somewehre if the deal goes through

With that cap hit and as bad as Darnold is, would you do that if you were the Texans? Especially with how desperate the Panthers are?

Yes if I wanted to get the deal done. That's how this stuff works. Look at the Rams and Lions trade last year.... they had to include goff in the deal for cap reasons to make it happen, and Rams gave up an extra pick to pull it off.

No, those are solid reasons why Cam will not be part of our team next year.  Your only "reason" is because of an existing relationship.  Mine involve thinking critically about the team and situation.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
