C.Biscuit97 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 In the last 5 years, the Texans have had a multi time defensive player of the year; a former 1 overall DE; a guy considered by some to be the best receiver in the NFL; and a top 5 qb. Now, they might lose them all. That’s impressive. 1 1

Williams might be included in a deal, but it’s not a certainty. depends on how Texans management views him. That organization has issues. Can’t assume they will do what makes sense. Mosely’s deal was terrible. He hasn’t played. Has the time off given him renewed health and energy or eroded his physical talents? We’ll see. if all three aren’t there, and Jets still get Watson, push that cap money on the offense and try to win shootouts every week. Maye’s agent: 2

dave mcbride Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 And here we go--Watson will be traded, it seems. @BADOLBILZ, I told you this would happen: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/11/david-culley-suggests-texans-may-be-willing-to-trade-deshaun-watson/. I'm not saying it's smart, but this outcome was fairly predictable.

Bridgewater isn't any good and is the sort of player who is regularly on the trash heap come free agency. Maybe McCaffrey, Burns, the #8 pick, and next year's 2 and 3? This is a franchise QB, after all. 1

Maybe Burns + 2 1sts and a mix of other picks could get it done, but idk. I’d rather call the Jets and try and get to get Zach Wilson + a mix of 1sts, 2nds and 3rd. Carolinas 8th pick wouldn’t yield a QB I’d be happy with. I wouldn’t want Teddy or Mccaffery (because of his contract)

The one thing that Carolina brings to the table is a borderline elite edge rusher (Burns) only two years into his first contract. 1

Stafford is actually someone I thought of for a Watson comparison. Both put up stats, and both are very good. Both also play(ed) for terrible franchises, although the Texans were halfway respectable until this past season. Watson had a pretty nice supporting cast, whereas Stafford never really did. What did the Texans in was giving O'Brien the power to destroy the team with idiotic moves that left them without star players or draft picks, which takes some real doing. With all the moves they made they should at least have a nice boatload of draft picks. Somehow they have nothing. That and hiring a televangelist as the team president. Stafford had one of the greatest receivers in nfl history. 1

Aussie Joe Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Trade with the Jets for Darnold, a haul and number 2.... then trade that to Carolina for 8 and Burns..

If we took on mccafferys contract, that would use all of our space. We wouldn’t have room for Williams and a FA pass rusher. We’d have to cut/restructure more players and create more holes. it could be fun and lead to a Lombardi if we can stay healthy the stars align 1

That would suck huh? the more I watch Zach Wilson....the more I think that they should just stand pat, keep the picks and hope that he can become aaron Rodgers- like. I’ve been a defender of Darnold over the years, but I pray that they keep him and trade down from 2 and allow Zach Wilson to go to the NFC. His 2020 tape (albeit vs some bad college teams) reminds me of a mini Josh allen (2020 version).

I think you go with Watson though... the known quantity... although I much would prefer them to go down this riskier path... If they trade him I think it will be to either Miami or Jets.... just with that higher pick on offer this year... makes a lot of difference
