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

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.

This is a different situation though. The Rams and Lions weren't desperate to make that trade. The Texans haven't been desperate to unload Watson while the Panthers have shown they are desperate to acquire him. The Texans have all the leverage in any deal with the Panthers, especially with other teams looking to trade for Watson too.

I think that can officially happen on Wednesday when the new league year starts

Gotcha. I know it was officially waived for the Dolphins but maybe that was in the time frame you are referring to last year.

If this is true don’t understand a timeline for waiving a clause when trades are already happening but is what it is I guess.

The Rams seemed pretty desperate and it's well known that other teams were trying to trade for Stafford.

its pretty much an identical situation. Panthers/Rams desperate for bettter QB talent. Texans/Lions disgruntled QB who wants out.

If you get rid of your young guys and give away all those future picks, we'll still be a shitty team. Just one with a franchise QB

It might lead to more free agents coming here 

It also might lead to Rhule looking better than he is and a fractured fanbase, even more so than now 

I have a real hard time supporting a team with Watson in it   Great QB but a creeper

im probably in the minority

Technically Russ has a no-trade as well, but has agreed to go to Denver in the past week ... it seems like the no-trade shouldn't have been holding up a potential trade

So is Jimmy G a franchise QB as well then?

Since there is no clear definition of what a franchise QB is, it depends on how you define one.

  • Is a franchise QB the face of the franchise?
  • Is a franchise QB the starting QB?
  • Is a franchise QB someone that consistently puts up high stats?
  • Is a franchise QB some that has the support of the organization and they aren't looking to replace him?

The San Francisco area news considered him the face of the team, so yeah, he could be considered a franchise QB.

Younger known players on rookie contracts are more valuable than first round picks. Because it’s a known quantity vs unknown.

Which is why you usually hold on to those players.  Watson is also due like 40 million for this upcoming season that the NFL might decide to shorten for him.  WTF.

Did FA flock to Houston when he was playing?

NFL will decide on a suspension depending on what team he goes to. If he goes to one of their darling teams, nothing will happen. If he comes to us or some other small team, suspension will be imminent. Count on it.

This is what I’m afraid of

The Rams weren't offering top 10 picks, and what could be a top 5 pick next year. They fully expected to get to the SB which would mean pick 32 and then another late 20s/30s pick. Value isn't close to the same.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
