Phil The Thrill Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Take this for what you will but many have speculated that DeShaun Watson will force his way out of Houston and end up on the Patriots. It started with this tweet: This led to a number of outlets talking about whether it could happen: Deshaun Watson trade rumors: Here's what a hypothetical Texans-Patriots deal could look like https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/deshaun-watson-trade-rumors-heres-what-a-hypothetical-texans-patriots-deal-could-look-like/ https://nesn.com/2020/03/patriots-fans-lose-their-minds-over-deshaun-watsons-cryptic-tweet/ Personally the only way this is possible is of New England completely bottoms out this season. They can’t afford Watson this year who would likely want a new contract after a trade. So in 2021, it would likely tape a crap load of draft picks and money to bring Watson to New England. That’s only after he plays some serious hard ball by holding out.
DFT Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Good post! I don’t think there’s much to this, but all bets are off with O’Brien. It wouldn’t be nearly as impossible as the cap restriction shows (at first glance), however. It would need to involve top-end contracts like Gilmore’s, and of course Thuney (nearly 15 mil on tag). It would take some finagling, but anything is possible. I just sincerely doubt it will happen. A 1st and the inclusion of Gilmore/ Thuney should allow, but again, a much greater mind than mine is also needed... 2

MrEpsYtown Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Yeah but will Jarred Stidham give up #4? That is the true question. Edited March 25, 2020 by MrEpsYtown 5 1

DrDawkinstein Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) This rumor started on the day BOB traded away Hopkins. The idea is that BOB will trade Watson to the Pats closer to the deadline, and when O'Brien is fired from Houston this year, he'll have a job waiting for him in NE. There is a lot of tin-foil hat conspiracy theory in that, but I wouldnt rule out anything when it comes to BOB's bad ideas and the Patriots making their own loophole to landing a top QB. 2 minutes ago, MrEpsYtown said: I get that Bob McNair is racist and such, but he would not stand for it. O’Brien trading Watson would result in him being gone imo. Trading a top receiver, while egregious, is nowhere near as bad as moving Watson. Would be straight insanity. That's the point. If the Texans have a bad year, and BOB finds himself on the hotseat, he'll trade Watson to the Pats, and then go work for the Pats next year. Edited March 25, 2020 by DrDawkinstein 1
