We need to get out of this, if HE is calling other teams, you don't give 2 of your young core players and 3 1sts for someone calling teams himself

Could be a BS report or maybe he figures ATL is the least worst option between us and the saints. 
 

He’ll end up settling for someone. Us or the saints.

Dont believe the hype dude.  See my post just up in this page.  On WFNZ they just explained why Atlanta has pretty much no chance.  Houston will just hold on to Watson and sit him again next year if he tries to force his way to Atlanta for pennies on the dollar.

This is Houston pumping fakenews to reporters in an attempt to drive up the price.  Dont believe the hype.  

 I don't believe it necessarily, I'm just saying IF it's true

A coach that isn't Matt Rhule.

Allen is 8-28 as a HC…. He’s basically a skinny Matt Rhule…

Don't come in here with logic. People are trying to leap from ledges.

Yeah already had one post try to justify their panic. Lol. People on here are very predictable at times.

They keep saying that a decision is likely to come tomorrow - at least thats the prevailing theory now.  And the Houston media and the Charlotte media all believe that Carolina is the leader right now.

If Watson wanted to be a panther he would be one by now, it’s quite clear he doesn’t want to. We have pursued him more than any other team in the league and he still says no.

 

Tepper has to give it up and draft a QB

Damn he reached out to ATL oh boy

Reporters are just throwing poo out at this point. Don’t believe anything until it’s official. Too much noise.

Because the national media is getting fed bullshit from the Saints. It seems obvious to me at this point. Doesn't jibe with what's coming out of the local.

Houston wants it to be us because we probably offered the most. Houston could block the trade too, a fact a lot of people are forgetting.

power isn’t 100% in watsons favor. It’s more like 75% Texans 25% Watson.

he can’t force them to trade him

This is just flat out wrong. Not saying it’s us, but Houston has to agree to any trade. Watson just has veto power.  Of course Houston strong arms him into meeting as many suitors as possible regardless of feasibility. It only benefits them

Exactly.  Apparently Houston is more than willing to just let Watson sit on the bench for another year and eat his salary.  They're not going to take pennies on the dollar just because he wants to go somewhere like Atlanta.  So, that no trade clause aint all its cracked up to be.  He could say "I will not accept a trade anywhere but Atlanta" and Houston could say "Have fun playing Safety on the Practice Squad for the next 4 years".
