I bet the Cowboys will franchise Dak Prescott, then trade him and their first round pick to Houston for Watson....I guarantee you Watson wants to be a Cowboy.

Receivers get traded.  It happens a lot actually.  Franchise QBs in their primes do not.

Point is if you have the second best receiver in the league and a franchise QB for him to throw to you don't look to get rid of either. Agreed that the QB takes precedent

Bear in mind that Schefter is often a shill for the agents.

 

It is one thing for a team to trade away a pick that might be used to draft a high-potential franchise QB.

It is another thing for a team to trade away an actual, proven, franchise QB

 

I don't see how a GM or GM/Coach combination could possibly recover from that unless they got a sure-fire franchise QB at least as good or better in return.

Moreover, if they trade Watson, the Texans immediately eat $21.6M of dead cap.  Right now, they're something like $17.6M in the red.

 

Unless the Texans are tremendously stupid, they tell Watson that they have $21.6M plus 5 contract years of reasons to sit tight and tell him to GTF over his feelings.

Now the Texans HAVE been tremendously stupid, but allegedly those people have left the building.

Team went 4-12 w Watson at the helm.  He sits on the sidelines and cries w a towel over his head after a loss.  I don't want a B word like that leading my team.  

 

When you are 4-12 everyone is replaceable.

I'm sure the Dolphins are a "favorite" not sure how the Jets are considering Watson has final say on where he goes. 

 

Just know plenty of teams in the NFC need a QB.  

 

Bears 

Eagles 

WFT

Carolina 

49ers 

Giants

Basically the whole conference minus Green Bay and Tampa

 

Guaranteed the Cardinals would swap Murray for him.  Or consider it strongly.

new Orleans probably tempted

Jets and Dolphins definitely have the picks to make it work.  If Texans get what they want i doubt they will care if it’s AFC or NFC.

Should take more then picks in this draft not named Lawrence, Tua, or Darnold to make it happen.

If I were the Jets, I’d start the offer with their 1st and 2nd picks this year and Darnold for Watson.

 

Miami could offer 2 1sts this year and Tua.

 

I think both Tua and Darnold could be good with some weapons an round them, but Watson is very good.

Expand  

You think Watson will approve a trade to the Jets?!? Miami, for sure.

They’ll get a haul because of the bidding war.  But it won’t be equal value.  There is none.  There are like 5 guys on the planet with his proven ability.

Fair enough... What I mean by that is there won't be any "they have to trade him so lets sit back and wait for their price to come down." discount. If he gets moved it'll be the biggest comp package in history.

I don't think Tampa belongs on that list. I would add Cincy and probably Jax.

Expand  

 

Cincy is borderline. I would doubt they'd give up as much as all that is required...

 

Here's a question though... Lawrence (#1) + what gets Watson?

Watson compounded the situation because they didn't hire a GM of his preference.

Not exactly true and it’s 100% on the owner for jerking him around. And unlike your theories we KNOW that’s true because if it wasn’t Cal would’ve came out immediately and said he did not promise to consult Watson on these hires. In fact, McNair did the opposite and confirmed it.

I'm not sure there has been anything comparable ever in NFL history if the Texans choose to trade Watson. Certainly not modern NFL history. You have a proven YOUNG franchise QB, which we as fans should all recognise how hard they are to come by, and you trade him away? In my mind, it's nonsensical.
