Beggers can't be choosey........I'm talking about Watson. I doubt he wants to sit out a 2nd season so he eventually will have to blink. 

On the other side of the coin - if he did sit, the Texans are on the hook to pay him regardless if he's playing. That's a $35mm chunk, and that's actual money that needs to be paid to Watson.

That NTC is forcing the Texans to play by Watson's rules. If he doesn't want to go anywhere, he sits and collects his money (which doesn't seem to bother him much, it seems).

So we’re still on the hook for his salary smh

Oh yeah, the Texans are on the hook until he's no longer a Texan. Even if Watson goes to jail for a long time, the Texans have to take steps to release him, which would impact dead cap...

Caserio probably knows this the best, as he had to argue the cap ramifications of Aaron Hernandez and his murder case/suicide:

It took about seven years to clear that up, hopefully it doesn't lead to THIS.

The crazy (crazier?) part is Flores & DW4 have the same agency (not agent) representing them

People are saying the quarterback is more likely Tom Brady. The timeline doesn’t match up for Watson because it was the end of 2019.

Brady was a FA following the '19 season, so it wouldn't have been tampering to talk to him.

Brady... Watson... Ross was up to some shenanigans and Flores wanted no part of it

Stephen Ross is going to be selling the Dolphins to Bezos or Musk before the start of the new league year. There's very little reason to believe he survives this...
