NOTW Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 12 minutes ago, ManchesterEagle said: Whether they are truly happy with Hurts or not, there is zero actual noise about Watson and the Eagles. The only actual reported noise from the Eagles is that Lurie has told them to build around Hurts which suggests the exact opposite. These are the "quotes" from LaCanfora: "No action for the Eagles," one GM said. "It has to be killing them." Another GM said: "Would Howie trading for Watson surprise me? No. Now that you mention it." So his "sources" aren't even claiming to have inside information. They are just purely speculating. Combine that with the Eagles cap situation and the desperation of some other teams, there is no way this is happening. Lazy and bad journalism from JLC Exactly. But people will push this topic likely to 5-6 pages, dissect the cap and how it could happen and all this. It's exactly what these "journalists" want, to get click bait and attention, comments on social media. it's only going to get worse as we get closer to the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, if it's the birds against any team Howie won't win. At the very least I hope he doesn't. That would throw rebuild mode out the window. And this team is more than a quarterback away from legitimately competing. 😂 The Eagles aren’t looking into Watson at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Howie actually reached out to the Texans regarding Watson, but there's no way Deshaun Watson is looking into the Eagles as a major upgrade over his current situation with the Texans 😂.. He has a no-trade clause for a reason. At best, the Eagles are a marginal upgrade over the Texans. The Panthers look like a legitimate candidate to trade for Watson and have some nice pieces on offense. If the Bears didn't sign Andy Dalton after missing out on Russell Wilson, I'd add them to the list. This isn't the NBA, so I won't bank on a scenario where they include newly signed Andy Dalton in a trade package involving three 1st rounders plus other assets, although Watson would automatically be the best QB in Bears history (like Wilson if he were moved there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaeagle2 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 don't see it happening , this is a year the eagles need to stay out of the high salary player trades and FA market. they need to get the draft right in every round for starters , depth and young talent to develop. plus i like the idea of 2 1st rounder's next year.

The Eagles aren't an upgrade for him in any way, so that makes the decision purely financial on his end. He has no other reason to go through the hard times here.

EazyEaglez Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Apparently there is a story out that he’s been accused of a sexual assault in Houston. Eagles aren’t touching him and the Eagles aren’t one of his teams of consideration. The Eagles aren’t even inquiring about him.

xxeaglesfanxx Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 No chance it happens but I would be fine with it. Hes one of the top quarterbacks in the league and instantly makes the offense better. But there is like a .0000000000000000000001% chance it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put up comparable numbers to Patrick Mahomes last year while getting sacked 50 times behind an O Line that was worse than ours. I think his yardage last year was padded somewhat by the Texans constantly getting their ass kicked but his accuracy and ability to throw under pressure is as good as anyone in the league, and I do mean anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is, the higher the pick the less likely he'll get cute. He's only picked in the top 4 picks 2 times, and only once below 20. Ordered by highest pick: 2016 #2 : Carson Wentz 2013 #4: Lane Johnson 2017 #14: Derek Barnett Now look at his 1st rounders at pick 20 and above: no one here you would look back and say they are 1st round talent at their position. Maybe Dillard if he develops into a starter. He picks 2nd and 3rd round quality after pick 20. 2014 #26 : Marcus Smith 2015 #20: Nelson Agholor (Chip was in control) 2018 #32: traded back 2019 #22: Andre Dillard 2020 #21: Jalen Reagor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz ran himself out of town. I don't want Watson either, though. Who is to say he doesn't do to the Eagles exactly what he's doing to the Texans?

eaglesfan0075 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 At this point they're more likely to draft Justin Fields or Trey Lance at 6 than trade for Watson. Interestingly enough, one of the player comps for Justin Fields is actually Deshaun Watson. Personally I'd rather bolster another area with that 6th pick and use the season to better evaluate what we have in Jalen Hurts, but the FO may think one of these guys is the real deal and worth hitting the reset button at QB again.

Procus Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 With all that massage parlor litigation, Houston's asking price for Watson went down considerably. Also may make him more toxic for teams looking to acquire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worse he’s doing jail time. Hard pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
