Carolina expected to be aggressive in Watson trade...

You think we have a shitty defense, or do you mean Carolina?

Watson is an awesome player but the amount of draft picks Carolina would have to give up to outbid a team like Miami could be detrimental to them.

He wants to go to NY or Miami. That is where he will prolly end up.

The trade proposals I've saw for Watson are weird to me. Maybe it's bc I'm a much bigger mlb fan, and the idea behind their trades is surplus value. I see Houston wanting a ton of very valuable picks that would have a lot of surplus value in order to get Watson who you'll have to pay good money to, which obviously takes away some of his surplus value.

I wonder how long it takes nfl GMs to figure out what mlb GMs have.

Imo Carolina is one of the least likely players to land Watson. The Texans will want a boatload of picks and a pro bow caliber player and maybe even another one. Unless Carolina is giving up McCaffrey and 4 firsts then they aren’t getting him. To be honest that 8th pick might as well be the 28th pick. That’s a high pick but probably not high enough to land a future qb and this years qb class is pretty weak.

4 first round picks, give them some additional draft picks, and then some players off our roster. Make it happen. We have plenty of talent that can be traded and save us money.

If the Saints don't at least make a serious offer for Watson they are stupid for not trying. He has a little say in where he wants to go. If he doesn't want to play for a shite team he'll tell Texans he's not going there so the trade won't happen. You can't trade a guy to a destination he has no interest in and neither will the other organization want to trade for him. He wants to play for a winner so who better than this organization with an offensive guru like Payton? I think he'd be a good fit with Saints or 49ers.

We'd win a SB within 3 years of this trade I believe. Houston might have to take less than they want for him but still get a boatload of picks/players to compensate. If Saints didn't have the cap problems we have I think we'd seriously make a run for him. They should think about trading guys like Armstead/Jordan who devour our cap and use those picks towards a Watson trade if it's viable. They'd probably need to move cap money around if they did get Watson maybe give him a new contract with the same guaranteed money.
