Deshaun Watson requests trade
|
In just 1 year a seemingly up and coming franchise becomes a bottom feeder.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago.

Not unexpected...
|
Trade to NFC plz.
|
Heading to NFC soon I hope. Hopefully to WFT so he can dominate that division and they'll stop talking about the goddamn Cowboys every year.
|
I hope they send him to the NFC. Badly.
|
Probably trade him to the ****ing Patriots cause goddammit.
|
Considering how stupid the Texans are, watch them trade Watson to the Colts within their own division.
|
The dude seems locked in on getting out of there. They might call his bluff but do you really wanna keep a guy around who wants to leave that bad?
They should get 4+ first rounders at minimum IMO. Which at that point, the team trading for him may be handicapping themselves a bit too much to build a consistent top 5 team. |
He's a great player, and what a shit show the Texans have become.
Less than two years ago they make a slew of "win now" trades, and in the process destroy the team. I mean if they had just kept Hopkins they are a contender every year. Stunning. |
49ers
|
Even a team like the Raiders would have to be involved. Could include Carr in the trade. Yuck.
There’s 20+ teams who will seriously have to make offers. |
I think the Dolphins would make the most sense... they already have the "culture" and the foundation of a potential winning team in place.
Also they have the draft capital and Tua as trade assets. |

Just dont go to the Broncos or Raiders.
I like seeing those scum franchises suck ass. |
He's a steal for the team trading for him IMO, I just don't know how they can actually afford to trade him.

LMAO
Not worried about this guy. |

Jets have the only draft capital to make this trade.
2 - first rounders in 2021 2 - first rounders in 2022 |
Please not to Miami.
Anywhere else is fine. |
Think we all know if anywhere, he's going to the Jets. He wants it, they have the trade capital and desire to trade big, out of division.
|
Supposedly he said that Jets rumor is false.

|
I'm fine with the Jets. Just keep him out of the AFC West.
|
How much money and draft capital does Atlanta have? They'd have to get rid of Ryan some way, so maybe a QB swap could work while the Texans look for a QBotF.

Dumb**** Texans. Do they know how long it'll be before they can draft another QB as good as what they have? The incompetence is staggering
|
Saints would be wise to trade the farm for Watson with Brees most likely leaving.
Winston and Hill aren't going to amount to shit. |

|
Miami has the #3 pick. That is a huge bargaining chip and I fear he will end up there, making for a juggernaut.
|
So the Texans are privately saying they aren't trading him, this is gonna so well.
|
Given the type of Quarterback that he's been recently taking in the draft, I would think Matt LaFleur would take a shot at him for sure. This is a joke of course... but kinda not.

If I am Houston, either a team ponies up with a top 3-4 pick in the draft, and a bunch of future picks or we keep him. This is not the NBA. |

It is funny that people are worried where he ends up. He is not a top 5 QB.

Lol. Their owner is a dumpster fire. I am surprised more QBs don't do this. They have power. McNair thinks of them as just cattle and he's the ranch owner. He is about to find out thats really not the case. Nobody will want to go there when a guy like Watson wants out.

Dolphins have cap space, #3 and #18 picks this year, they also have two picks the second round. And they could send Tua as part of the deal.
Miami would be scary with Watson, but if he's going to the AFC east I'm fine with it. |
Quote:
|
If Patrick wanted to pick the next HC would Clark let him? He certainly would not hire an HC Mahomes doesn't want.
|
I know there are Bill O'Briens out there that would give three first rounders for Deshaun Watson, but no intelligent GM would give that, I could see 2 firsts and a second but the Texans will likely have to lower their expectations a tad.

Deshaun is sort of a exception then the rule. Not much a signing bonus. Further the thing the NBA has is max contracts and no cap hit to the trading team. So a team can easily decide if the player is worth a max contract or not. Further a lot of those contracts are short periods and at the end of those contracts they can walk. So a guy with 1-2 years left tells team trade me now or you get nothing. That is compelling. If the guy is in the NFL you can look at him and say nah we will just franchise you for a couple more years. What is Deshaun's options for not getting traded? Not report? OK. Report and not try? MMM unlike the NBA good chance you get hurt if not by the other team, your own team. |

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t want easier paths to Super Bowls. Right now, Houston with Watson is not a threat. If he goes to Miami, they are. |

K. |
I'm rooting for the Texans to refuse to trade him and force him to be a Texan or retire. Love a good standoff.

Quote:
We know that it would take at least three ones to move from the end of the draft to the top, 2 ones and something else most years to move from 4th to 1 (sometimes more)....As long a the 1 pick is a team that does not want a QB. |
LMAO Easterby won't ever be able to walk the streets of Houston safely.

As long as Mahomes is upright I'm confident with this team.

Cry baby bitch. Don’t sign the extension.

Go get him, Washington.

His cap hit would be $10.5 million in 2021. **** that’s cheap.

Couldn’t have happened to a better city BTW. **** Houston. **** the Astros. **** the Texans.

I don't see how any one can be afraid of a damn Watson led team as long as KC has Mahomes, Reek, and Kelce.
|
Of course the Texans are going to SAY they aren't trading him. They aren't going to close off any of their options. They will be trying to repair the relationship via the new HC. But if as Shefter reported Watson's anger with the Texans is a 10 out of 10 then it's hard to see how that gets fixed. If Watson is willing to sit out the season and give up however much money that would cost him, then a trade will probably get done. Is he that committed?
|
Watson is just going to have phantom injuries to keep his money.

This creep's photo should be posted in every thread about Houston and their failures:
