Given time, I'd be more worried about Watson to Parker. Really, Miami has the offensive tools at all skill positions for Deshaun to be successful. 1

The league can do whatever it wants as long as it is in accordance with its own rules. Once it takes steps outside of that it becomes vulnerable. My understanding is that the league has standard trade language and a standard proviso that anything outside of that must receive league approval. I recall that being a factor in several other recent trades where the trade was reported, there was a delay, and it was later reported that the NFL didn't approve the original contingency language and it had to be revised. Anything in the US can end up in court anyway. As far as the NFL not taking action, worth reviewing Mike Florio's take (Florio is actually a US-trained lawyer, a former litigator I believe) https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/11/nfl-isnt-taking-action-against-deshaun-watson-because-it-doesnt-have-to/

Parker is talented but he never seems to be healthy... 1 minute ago, No Place To Hyde said: Watson may not even waive his no trade clause to go there. It's "believed" he would.

As I recall, many of the massage therapists Watson utilized were flown in from Miami; this way, he saves money on incidental expenses... 2

Miami is a dumpster fire and why Watson would agree to go there, especially if they're surrendering their 1st rounders, is anyone's guess. But yawn. Wake me when it actually happens. 1

They’ll be giving up their draft capital and taking on Watson’s contract. That’s not a very talented team to begin with, and they won’t be able to do much to add anything else ie., an OL for Deshaun.

But if it ends up being challenged it has to justify why. Saying "oh it is because of his legal situation" is fine but then a court is entitled to ask "well why didn't you suspend him." I don't disagree with what Florio said in September. I think the thing is at that point everyone was banking on the status quo lasting the year and if that had indeed happened then just letting him sit on the Texans bench made sense. But once he is traded... I think the league has a problem.

May Day 10 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 If I'm Watson, I'm 100% trying to facilitate pittsburgh.
McBean Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 So Gruden fired in 48 hours… POS Watson been around for 6 Months and might play? Go figure. 3 1 1

You sound surprised. One is a top 5 QB that generates millions of dollars for the NFL, the other is Jon Gruden - and Gruden wasn't fired, he resigned.
