Lol, called this 1 second after I read Wilson was traded.  Younger, better version of what Wilson is today.

 

Next week Watson will either be in high demand or his trade value will remain cold...this Friday is a big day for his immediate future in terms of the legal issues.

Out of the AFC with Dolphins and New England not in the mix is all I care about.

From a purely playing standpoint, it would probably be an upgrade...younger, cheaper and better.

 

From an off field standpoint, it is a PR nightmare

PR nightmare? In Seattle?

 

The people in that city are filthy. Remember the community of CHODE?

Plaintiff's attorneys must be waiting for the grand jury to indict before they get their teeth into him for those civil depositions...

 

The evidence in criminal proceedings is considerably higher than in civil proceedings, and these cases are notably difficult to prosecute because it's generally "he said/she said".   Cuomo faced criminal charges in two or three counties, but I think that all of those were dropped before they ever got to the grand jury stage because the DAs didn't think they could get the grand juries to return criminal charges.

Maybe long term, but I’d have to disagree in the short term. The Texans are more than a QB away from being a good team, but the broncos were average with bad QB play. Adding a top 10 QB to a solid roster in the AFC doesn’t help the bills chances… unless you are counting on the rest of the AFC west having worse records due to adding Wilson in division.

 

The idea is that this is good for the Bills because it evens up the AFCW so that those teams are likely to beat each other up, knocking all of them out of the running for the #1 seed.   The Bills, OTOH, have an easy road to the #1 seed because they easily dominate the AFCE.

Never thought QB was the issue holding the Seahawks back. More the bonehead head coach who made this call:

This.
 

The Bills’ Super Bowl odds went up in Vegas after the Wilson trade. The Chiefs’ odds went down.

 

Three, or perhaps all four, of the AFC west teams are going to be good, but they all face each other. They may all end up with 3-3 division records every year, while the Bills are 5-1 in the East.

 

The West and North will be season long dogfights for the foreseeable future, while the East looks comparatively easy. That means a higher chance at the top seed for Buffalo, which is why Vegas gives them the top Super Bowl odds in the conference.

If not for a well placed DB that's a TD. Watching it is like watching a nightmare!

I don't think watson will be any good as a QB anymore.

Nope…reportedly the depositions are going forward and Watson will plead the fifth…meaning that he’s totally screwed in the civil cases.

i didn’t say they weren’t going forward.  His lawyer said he will be deposed after grand jury concludes

Trade Wilson, who is a top 10 QB with a squeaky clean image, to go after a top 10 QB in Watson who is a degenerate and you aren't certain if he'll ever play again? Makes sense. 

Keeps working out for Antonio Brown...

It was reported that he’s going to be deposed while the grand jury is in session and that Watson would be taking the Fifth.

If they just run Marshawn then the Pats/Brady LIKELY have one less ring.

Is it hard to work legs when they’re only 24 inches long?

i think i heard that watson's case will go in front of a grand jury this friday.  i'm not sure how long after his issues could be resolved, but i assume it's a big step.

Grand Juries almost always indict. If as expected Watson is indicted it could easily be a year or more before it goes to trial.  If convicted and sentenced to prison he may never play again. if indicted he is likely closer to the start than the end of his problems.

Prison ? ... for asking for extras during a massage ?

 

Watson hasn't been charged with rape, at worst he'll have to write a few checks

DAs don’t usually spend a year investigating to present misdemeanor charges to a grand jury

The Seahawks would have to acquire Watson in a trade so it would be interesting to see how much of the haul from the Wilson trade is then spent on acquiring Watson.

Agreed. Yeah it's not a free lunch. And the Texans still want a ton.
