Welcome, Chad. There are existing Watson trade threads, and your thread was merged into this one.
Well you just signed a contract recently, you honor your contract and look forward to free agency at the end of it. I mean he JUST signed the damn thing and Easterby was here when he did it. Easterby probably negotiated it. What's changed since then, other than Cal just made you a very rich man! That Cal didn't select his choice for GM? He said DW4 would have input. He didn't say DW4 would get to choose the GM. And Cal said he tried to contact him while he was on vacation to let him know. What, is the world supposed to stop while he's on vacation? Answer your damn phone!
More money well spent. Another example of Cal's ineptitude. The guy's not qualified to run a corner store.
Welcome. IMHO Watson will be traded to the Jets, the #2 being the difference maker. The Texans will get what Jets got from Jamal Adams trade, 2 1st rd picks (2021/22 and a 3rd pick). In addition Texans will get Jets 2 1st rd picks (2021/22), a 2nd rd pick and Sam Darnold.

I guess they could deal Darnold for a 2nd round pick. Maybe Indy or New England would bite. I sure wouldn't pickup the $25 million option for the 5th year.
That’s a good question. After just signing a big deal contract makes it worse.
Agreed. If I’m Watson & I got to get out, I’d be willing to renegotiate the deal to facilitate a trade to the teams I want to go to.
@Texian wants him gone too.
Your post gave me food for thought. Thanks for sharing.
There you go again putting words in mouth. To clear up any miscommunication, here is my official position. I am FOR trading Watson under one condition. Here it is;
Washington too. I wouldn't pickup the option either but nice to have should you want to keep him for a year.
The Jamal Adams 3rd RD is this year. The 2nd RD is 2022.
I doubt the Jets want DW4 that badly. Basically you are saying you don't want to trade him. If we could get a rediculous haul like that I would be all for it. I do not see that happening.
Look at it from this perspective, it basically boils down to this; the Jets trade Jamal Adams, 2 1st RD picks, a 2nd RD pick and Sam Darnold. If the Jets make the trade they're competitive in 2021. If they don't they won't be competitive for at least another 2 or 3 years. If Miami makes the trade the Jets may never catch the Bills, Pats and Dolphins.
We had a real tough schedule and lost a lot of games, but of those losses we played some good teams and gave them all they could handle. As the season went on those close losses took their toll on our guys and they just did not seem to have any life left in them.
The thing that concerns me in this is McNairs " pressuring" to get what they want done. What? You're the owner snap your fingers
My mistake... I read you wrong.
If we get Sam Darnold I want us to hire a known Qb whisperer.
Hey Chad! Thanks for posting and I enjoyed reading. We welcome almost anybody here as you will find out if you remain for a while. Your team has come up in conversation many times over the last few years and I am Part of that. I tried to post trades with your team prior to the 2020 draft. I do agree that the Jets would be the best to work a deal with but for Deshaun Watson I want much more than you noted. I base my evaluation on several respectable sources across the USA that identify our number four's Market value as one that could be greater than any the NFL has seen. If that is so then why should we settle for any of the so-called realistic pics we have seen mentioned? I encourage you to check out several of the other threads including the one I posted some time ago about DeShaun's value.
My feelings about Deshaun are this, I would really like for him to remain a Texan under the condition he could be competitive with a strong chance at a championship. The chances for that are slim and none. I don't want to see him here being miserable and wasting away. I would rather watch him from afar being truly great. I'm afraid if he remained here, the next two years will be worse than the last. IMO I think DW4 already has visions of NYC dancing in his head and he wants to make that happen, regardless of what Cal does to try and appease him to remain a Texan.
But there are ways for Jets to offer a package that improves oline and WRs.
I don't see us trading DW4 with anybody outside of the Miami Dolphins. They have plenty of draft capital and they seem to be a team on the rise. They won 10 games with inconsistent Qb play. I think DW4 would be a good fit for them. While there are better teams out there those teams do not have much to give us.
I think you could trade Sam for a 1 or 2. Regardless a QB whisper is a good idea even for the new guy. Finding those exceptional coaches are drying up as most of the new HC hires are done and they are filling out their staffs. Two of the best OL coaches available Pollack and Benton are gone. QB coach Greg Knapp is also off the market.
The Jets would be stupid to use their top draft capital to get DW4. As great as DW4 is I am not sure he makes that big of an improvement with a team further away from a championship than our Texans! Why on earth would the Jets give up as much as some are saying they should when they are much more than one player away from being routinely competitive? Sure DW4 may add 2 or 3 more wins to the Jets if few other moves are made, but it sets them back at least a couple more years of mediocrity at best! They would be no better than us and DW4 would for sure be stuck in the continual cycle of losing. I doubt he wants that.
Well, if you're someone like Merciless, you take a paycheck and coast. That is what I think happened with a lot of Texans players this season. Watson, to his credit, was not one of those players. But he may become one. I hope he doesn't because quite frankly, he's one of only a handful of players on this team that I think has been willing (up to this point) to put in the effort that it takes to become a champion. Regrettably, the most notable of the "effort" players on this team has likely played his last game as a Texans. Watt had his faults, but not trying was never one of them.
I don't think the defense gave up at the beginning of the season. Our schedule was killer and our whole team competed and made things tough on some pretty good teams but losing close games against those teams took it's toll on them. I like RAC but he was not the answer once BO'b was fired. RAC just could never cut it as a head coach. To RAC's credit though, the team did not give up till a little past the middle of the season.
Disagree. After the snafu of not bringing in Bieniemy and the backlash, I think pressure is the right word.
Yes but don't you know that there will be griping and moaning every time he scores a touchdown or throws a completed pass for another team.
If Watson goes to Jets or Dolphins does he take Timmy with him? If you think yes will Lassie follow Timmy? Sorry just had to go there!
How many free agents would want to go to New York Jets with DeShaun Watson. Do you realize that in 2022 the Jazz have 136 million-dollar cap space
