I mean, I’m sure they don’t want to trade him, but you’re 100% right on the stupid part. A series of actions by the team leadership led to this. 1
Big Blitz Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Zero chance Daboll takes that job now. I think they're going to hire Marvin Lewis but we'll see. I think Daboll either goes to the Chargers or he stays. The Jets maybe but I think they hire Bienemy. Jags: Meyer Lions: Salah Falcons: Keep Morris Texans: Lewis Chargers: Arthur Smith
Strethor Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Texans fans are cursing out their ownership right now. They have to value his input he is the franchise. The fact that they did not even request to interview the person Mahomes suggested and praised to DW is sick. Honesty means a lot in this league Shades of Whaley
y2zipper Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 He's under contract for 6 years and these relationships are usually fixable, so there's pretty much no way they trade him. We saw the same stuff with Rodgers going into the season the past 2 years when they hired LaFleur (and nobody knew who he was). Houston has been after the same exec for GM for a few years now so nobody including Watson should be surprised. I think what they have in mind is hiring a head coach on the defensive side of the ball because that's where Houston's deficiency is.
947 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 A trade for Watson would likely cost 3 first round picks. Would anybody really pay that? He's not Bo Callahan...
stuvian Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 If he wants out he'll get out. Maybe Chicago can make up for not taking him in the first place. If it happens he will go to the NFC. I can see him in Detroit
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Ummm you must not have heard, Bill O’Brien was fired. He might been been dumbed enough to consider it.

No running game to speak of. Watson was sacked 49(!) times this season. 1

There are 5 or 6 other good players on the team but there isn't a single unit I'd class as well functioning. 1 1
machine gun kelly Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I like the OP so I’ll be kind. Rumors are just rumors. Most do not come to fruition. There’s no way the Texans would allow any type of trade to one of the best QB’s in the NFL, regardless if he wanted it or not. The ownership knows the allure of one of the best coaching prospects relies on having that QB in place. This isn’t a safety like Jamal Adams (that was a dumb move as well by the Jets). I like the one poster and was spot on it’s possible to see a Stafford type trade.

So you can “be kind” but the bases for these rumors that @Alphadawg7 cited are way better sourced than you jack. 1

Doc Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 So...interview Eric Bienemy. Try to fix your relationship with your franchise QB.

I just read similar article on NFL.com and came here to say almost exact same thing. Isn't it weird that player is unhappy that he wasn't part of the process of selecting GM? I get that Watson is an important player but why on earth should he have any word in GM hiring? Doesn't make any sense to me.

How often does the franchise QB actually HAVE to deal with the GM? It is not like you are gonna let Watson review your draft board...... although given he is the only good thing about the organisation at the moment maybe they should! Haha. He couldn't do worse than Billy O.

But as I said, interviewing Bienemy is what they need to do to start to mend fences. 2
DaggersEOD Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 12 hours ago, spartacus said: Watson pissed about the GM and the coach https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/07/report-deshaun-watson-advocated-for-eric-bieniemy-as-head-coach/ And now we know why Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is telling teammates he may ask for a trade. A flood of reports has emerged on Thursday night, as reported have chased the story teed up earlier today by our item raising the question of whether Watson wants out. It’s now clear that he does. Albert Breer of SI.com supplies another reason for Watson’s consternation. Per Breer, Watson advocated for the Texans to hire Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. The Texans, however, became the only team with a vacancy to not even interview Bieniemy. Breer explains that Mahomes “put in a strong word” for Bieniemy, which prompted Watson to push for Bieniemy. The Texans, who had said they’d consult with Watson, ignored Watson’s suggestion. And that undoubtedly has contributed to the consternation and frustration that Watson is currently feeling. Why would the Texans give KC more draft ammo when they are the #1 target in the AFC right now. Sucks for Bieniemy but I understand.
