If the Saints get word they are out then call Houston and offer 3 1sts, 3 2nds, and 3 3rds

Doesn’t matter, it’s Watson’s choice.

Doesn’t matter, Watson only waives his no trade clause for the team he picks

He has a no trade clause he determines if he will go to team A or B.
The Texans don't have to trade him.
The compensation for the Texans isn't the issue.
Does Watson want to play for the home town and lose or got Nola and have a chance to win a SB

Watson actually has to sign or e-sign a document before the trade can happen...and the document lists the team he is waiving the NTC for. The Texans can't accept anything until then.

I mean every offseason there is three threads every week saying we should trade one of players that isn't under contract for the next season... The ignorance isn't even shocking anymore.

It has nothing to do with a late effort to get Watson, only to have Atlanta pay more.

The Saints have zero (trade) leverage other than walking away. If they call and offer more, the Texans can't do anything with it.

Now, they could call Watson and offer a better extension, etc. and that may work...

I don’t get the hype. He isn’t worth three first round picks

The Texans have some say, in being that have to accept a trade offer before Watson can exercise his NTC. They can say hey, Falcons ain’t giving up enough so we are taking them off to table, at which point you’re a Texan or you can be a Saint.

It could matter. The Texans don't havebto trade him. If they got a better offer, they could say "not so fast" and listen to better offers. Watson holds most of the cards, but people here tend to forget that the Texans don't have to trade him at all! It's not like the have no leverage.

The Texans have a strong bit of leverage if they are willing to tell him, “Welcome back to the Texans!”

Or they could flat out tell him, "We like the Saints offer better. The Falcons are off the table. It's either NOLA or no trade at all." That's a pretty strong card to hold. If it was all up to Watson, teams wouldn't be offering such huge packages to obtain him.

they also aren't paying him 35 million to sit again.

They did it once, could do it again. Or the mere threat of it would let DeShaun understand to stop being a b**ch and get on with it!
