Texas hoping for some large trade offers. Also probably wanting to pick up Kyle Trask who’s from there.

I'm kinda conflicted here. The Texans have been really dumb with their roster moves especially trading Hopkins for pennies. So I can understand why Watson is disgruntled as a competitor.

But at the same time, Watson signed the dotted line to take that money and now he wants out when the bag is secured? If he wanted to be moved then he should have gone to FA. I dont want the NFL to become the NBA where all you gotta do is pout to get your way after you agreed to be paid an exorbitant amount of money to be the guy.

It's a real shame BOB isn't still there because he would definitely have accepted Mickey's Taysom + 1st + 2nd offer.

And the Jags have a ton of cap space.

Ravens should trade Lamar and a first for Watson. It would be a better package than any other team can offer for him.

If they trade him and Watt, Houston will turn it's back on the franchise.

I’m not sure you even know what’s going on in Houston..... sure he signed a contract, but the organization did a crappy job of supporting what he needs to fulfill that contract.

Huh? You mean the AD that absolutely destroyed the organization when he started pouting? That AD?

Face it Watson won’t go to Jax his asking price is too high and the Jags have no reason to trade for him.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Chicago and Washington both push pretty hard for him. A lot of pieces in place on both teams to contend for championships with elite QB play.

They can’t afford Watson even with what they would give up to get him.

Both those teams you bring up are nice, but neither has the overall talent IMO..... not yet anyway.... it would take a couple years at either one......

I think Atlanta is the one place that could get him and give up picks and be worth it

The Bears can’t absorb the cap hit.

Atlanta has the WR and Ryan can come off the books. Now will whoever be willing to mortgage for an all in

I'd make him play the contract out, then if you can, franchise tag him.


Couldn’t agree more. If I was the Texans owner I wouldn’t trade him and wouldn’t pay him if he didn’t show up. If he doesn’t want to play for Houston he won’t play for anyone until his contract expires.

While Watson signed, I’m sure the front office fed him a huge load about what they were doing with the roster.

And then they dumped their biggest piece besides Watson for pennies after having blown a ton of picks plus a huge extension on Tunstil.

Not saying I agree but I certainly understand.
