What the falcons would need to do cap wise

Good write up, but they pretty clearly are not going to cut Grady Jarrett.

I’m a little behind reading today but do you have any updates from Houston media saying we’re leading? Only thing I’ve seen is national media saying Saints. 

 A sports radio personality in Houston said that most people there want the trade to be with the Panthers, based on the available assets.    Aside from that, who knows?

And John McClain retweeted some random guy saying the deal with Carolina was nearly done

Record isn't everything. Personality matters and Rhule is arrogant about his abilities and puts blame on others when it doesn't belong there. That tends not to sit well with people. 

Actually, in the NFL, records are the only thing that matters.

Michael Thomas tweeting out “smoke and mirrors” a half hour ago.

 

its gonna be between us and the saints. All this other stuff is just bullshit trying to drive up the price.

Don’t misconstrue his media appearances with how he’s perceived by players. All his players love him and are very vocal about it.

It makes sense, and nothing else really does, from the Texans' viewpoint.  I think I heard that Watson contacted Atlanta--which is interesting, but they have the fewest assets to move--the Falcons would be fools to ignore the request, but the reality is they can't afford it.

Saints still $3M over the cap after the Davenport restructure, and so, $38M away from clearing enough room to trade for Watson.

Ugh

Deshaun Watson is also meeting with the #Niners, per league source.  I’m told the #Saints remain the front runners, based on trade assets and their desire to acquire the 26-year-old superstar QB. Decision likely by tomorrow.

 

The 49ers rumor was shot down earlier.

They don’t need to be under the cap to make the trade. They just have to be under the cap by the start of the season.

They want to take our deal as it’s the best offer. Why is this so hard?

If we send Houston our #1 next year, and go 20-0, they pick k 32nd. If we go 0-17, they pick first. It's not hard at all.
