January 20, 20223 yr Just now, downundermike said: False. The Texans refused to play him. Before the scandal happened he was sitting out because he didn't want to play and wanted traded

I'd give up a mid round pick but you know Houston will want a 1+ something else. We may disagree but I'd rather fill three of their many holes with their firsts or trade back and get more for next year. Sending one to them would be a mistake.

The Texans refused to play him. He requested a trade before the allegations came out. The allegations broke in the offseason. It's pretty clear to everyone down here what happened... he knew what was coming and tried to force his way out before the news broke about the lawsuits. Both sides didn't want him playing.
January 20, 20223 yr If Flores were hired in Houston, would that change Watson's stance about not staying in Houston? Also he may not be the hot property he was pre-lawsuits and investigations.

There were the conspiracy theories that said it was the Texans trying to ruin his trade value so they could keep him too lol
January 20, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Mike030270 said: There were the conspiracy theories that said it was the Texans trying to ruin his trade value so they could keep him too lol That's just crazy. The simple fact is both Watson and the Texans want him to be gone. Unfortunately for everyone, though, that's not happening until there's clarity on his legal situation... which is at least several months away. Once that's cleared up he will 100% be suspended by the NFL. My guess is it'll be for a full season. My one question is if he's being paid while he hasn't been playing. If not then maybe he can make the case to the NFL that's essentially been suspended for the past year.

Of course it's crazy lol that's why it's a conspiracy theory I honestly haven't looked into it in awhile but last I saw was that Texans were still paying him

January 20, 20223 yr Unlikely. I’ll say that of the "big three” that are rumored, Watson is the only one I would be interested in, primarily due to age. But still wouldn’t make any kind of move unless the legal issue is 100% behind him.
January 20, 20223 yr Author From ESPN: Watson currently accounts for 27.58% of Houston's 2022 projected cap. Houston will get desperate to trade him as time goes by, paying him 10 million to stay home is one thing, paying him that amount is something else. The price will go down.
January 20, 20223 yr Would stop watching if we acquired this guy. I have no desire to cheer for a team with him on it.

Also once traded, all guarantees are gone, so he would restructure to get guaranteed money back. His cap hit could be 10 million in 2022 after a restructure.
January 20, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, What The F said: This whole thing <from emb perspective> is giving me Vick flashbacks. When Watson has a bad game and the fans boo him, you can bet he will give them the one finger salute, just like Vick did.

His cap hit could be 10 million in 2022 after a restructure. Given how much guaranteed money he has coming - remember, his 2023 salary and bonus become fully guaranteed this year - why would he restructure now?
January 20, 20223 yr 20 minutes ago, Hawkeye said: 3. Watson has a $40 million dollar cap charge in 2022 so.... Even if it's 35 million, still way too much and difficult to restructure without giving him a fortune bearing in mind the contract he's already on. But anyway I want no part of him as our franchise QB - would be an embarrassment.
January 20, 20223 yr NBC sports/PFT being used by @D-Shiznit in the topic title here to add legitimacy to Watson to Eagles. Other "reports" of speculation about Watson, basically every team that doesn't have a solidified QB has "reports" that they'll trade for Watson. NBC Sports: Washington might trade for Watson NBC Sports/PFT: Albert Breer appears on Cleveland radio show and says Browns will make a play for Watson NBC Sports/PFT: The Steelers might trade for Watson NBCSports: Bears might hire Brian Flores and trade for Watson The NY Post also reports: The Giants might hire Brian Flores and trade for Watson And of course before the Dolphins fired Flores, NBC Sports/PFT had them trading for Watson.

You're like a kid with new puppy. And you don't care about giving 150 million to a guy who has 22 sexual harassment law suits against him?
