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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
