AFF Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Not going full Madden mode here but honest question.... Would you trade a 2021 1st, 2022 1st and TJ Watt for Deshaun Watson. Just throwing it out there...Watson is really cheap this year and his cap hits are in $40 mill next few years IIRC. Initial thought is I’m right on the fence...you try to maximize a rookie contract with a QB butWatson is damn good. What do you think?

August4th Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yes we would be set at the most important position for the next 10 yrs. Watt prime will probably be over in 5 yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t trade TJ for deshaun straight up so I definitely wouldn’t add Our next two #1s draft picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I dont necessarily trust that Watson would come here and not become a headache at some point if things werent going his way. Not that I wouldnt trade for him, but not Watt and 2 first round picks. Watt is a top 3 defensive player IMO. He is worth 2 first round picks himself. Is Watson worth 4 first round picks? Maybe....but I wouldnt do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 it's a not typical to trade an elite RD1 pick, but who knows.

If Watt has injuries, it could also play into that. Watson might not be happy here either if the team is failing. He might want to win sooner than later. Houston is quite a franchise though as they really failed and would that happen here? QB's will play into their 40's so Watson has 15 years left , so maybe 7- 10 more good years that Watt? Over that period of time those 2 RD1 picks might not seem like much at all. Or maybe go another 20 years before having a good franchise QB, it's happened before here. Different regime and era, but it can happen. In todays NFL, UFA really helps and then trades. Contracts can also make QB's available as well as pouting . This offseason looks to have a few high profile QB's change teams . We were hoping the other Watt, well final Watt would land here I doubt it would happen, JJ could pick any team he wanted to, and I would expect a legit contender with a legit QB would be a more likely place to sign for him at this stage of his career.
