Deshaun is stuck here for 6 years whether he likes it or not, he can opt to withhold his services and he will just be a roster spot as we got 4-11 again and get a top 3 pick shrug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 @ET80 if the Texans are dumb enough to trade one of my dudes, you're ALWAYS welcome in Cleveland...aside from the x amount of times that they play Watson of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFellSBXLIXMVP Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Now Watson's PR site aka ESPN is saying not only he demands to be traded but he'll pick which team he's going to. They're so kind that they already suggested Miami for freaking Tua 'no hips' Valua, houston's former 1st round pick back and some more trashy value in return. That's pathetic. I know lots of NFL fans are hopping Watson is going to their team but this is becoming NBA's diva crap. It's looking like Watson will have his own narcissistic show this off season but the narrative of him being a victim that needs to be rescued can only go so far. Dude signed for almost 200m after Hopkins was traded. He's not a homeless dude that lost his house to bankers. Btw, if your team stinks he's not going there so don't even waste your time defending this BS. He wants to be on a team that went 10-6 with little production from the starting QB.

ravishingone Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I hope Tua becomes a really good QB, but really what trade value does he really have? Didn t watch the Fins play much, but it sure seems Fitzmagic was much more likely to push the ball down the field, no? Not a surprise Tua is having a difficult time adjusting to what is considered "open" in the NFL. Look at the talent he was throwing to at Bama. No team will let Tua run the ball regularly. I think the media is really inflating Tua s trade value at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brushmyhair Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If the texans trade watson, They better get the motherlode in return. Jets and Dolphins have the trade ammunition to make it happen. But if I were the Texans, I wouldn't want Tua, I'd want either Fields or Wilson at 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless someone is fronting Watson $40mm for this season... he's slated to lose a LOT of money by going this nuclear route. It's also a terrible look for the organization if they refuse to trade him as he's making public demands that he wants out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd ask for Xavien Howard, #3, #18, #36, #50, #67, and the Dolphins 2022 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it, though? It's not like they're going to present it as "You're here and you'll stay here *forever* muahahaha!" They're adhering to the contract, nothing more and nothing less. Plenty of people have been through circumstances and periods of discontentment - look at Aaron Rodgers last season for an example. This isn't very unique if we really think about it.

One of the radio hosts here ran a Twitter poll (not exactly reliable, but worthy of note). What would the fans do if Watson was traded? 1. Still follow the Texans - 20% 2. Follow Watson to his next destination - 40% 3. Stop watching entirely - 40% Potentially an 80% drop. That's... That's pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Houston will never get a QB of Watsons caliber for 15+ years. Keep him unless he badly wants out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An elite player publicly saying he wants out because he has no faith in your leadership being able to build a winner while the team refuses to trade him is a bad look. He has also said he was upset about your owners lack of interest in social justice and you guys basically gutted your roster and received nothing in return. I can't imagine this would make guys excited about potentially going to Houston in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
