Forge Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 I feel like at a certain point, the trade value is just so low that someone will make the move rather than the 49ers release him, but I do agree that at this juncture there's no real market for him. Even Joe Staley said he waited on the surgery to basically blow up his trade value lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struggling to see what NOLA can offer that competes with 3 FRP + Derrick Brown + Jaycee Horn. Surely Texans risk losing some fans to NOLA if they trade him to the team within driving distance as well. Texans need at least two teams just in case Watson doesn't like what he hear from one team. Texans basically want Watson out of Houston so more options, better chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically any team interested has to offer the best deal possible and Houston has to like it. They’ll obviously have a preference but they know they have to work with Watson, same way Watson knows he has to work with them. Houston gets the deals first. If they like them they grant him the ability to talk to those teams. He then chooses where he wants to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I have to believe New Orleans ultimately can't make the numbers work. Even if they did, the roster will be so gutted they can't contend anyways. That said, they might be the most arrogant front office in the league, so maybe they try it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Also I sure look forward to the national media and fans crucifying Tom Brady for retiring, forcing the Bucs to plan for life without him, only to unretire the day before unofficial free agency opens, forcing them to revise all their plans for free agency and the draft on the fly Oh, wait, that's never going to happen because it's Tom Brady. Imagine if Aaron Rodgers had done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants a trade, but playing for Tampa beats not playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you would take those statements at face value. Of course Bucs are gonna act like everything is dandy. There was zero reason for the Brady/Bucs Drama reports week after week unless Brady was leaking it to his media friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Imagine thinking Brady has been anything at all even remotely like Rodgers. He signed a 2 year deal. He turned it into 3 to help his teams' cap situation. He made a tough decision to retire and he changed his mind in time for the Bucs to prepare for free agency and the start of the league year. Rodgers called for his bosses to be fired. Rodgers called for emergency GM powers. Rodgers criticized nothing moves like cutting that 6th WR on Buffalo. (Jake Kumerow?) Rodgers joked on Jeopardy about how stupid his coach was "Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Rodgers torpedoed draft day for the Packers with a Twitter attack. Nothing is ever his fault. To watch both careers and think they are anything alike is the coldest of cold takes. Brady has a loving family and kids he loves and spends time with. His ex gets along well with him and they raise his oldest together as adults. Brady keeps his family close and loves and supports his sisters and parents. They love and support him. He's most famous for relationships like Gronk and AB following him anywhere. Brady never once said a bad thing about Goodell during that witch hunt when Goodell lied about him in and out of court. He appears to be a mentally healthy and well adjusted person who is admired as a leader and a teammate. Some idiots tried to find 4 times in 20 years that he and BB disagreed to somehow mean they hated each other. Watch them in the NFL 100 QB video. Does that look like respect and admiration or tolerance? Arians is a gruff no nonsense guy who yells at people. If Brady yells back then so what? I think Brady did not shake Nick Foles hand once? And he said something about Manning having 1 year left in a private email that the scum at the NFL offices leaked. (Manning had 1 year left at the time)? Maybe something about pool covers? Rodgers is a 38 year old selfish man-boy who makes drunken Tik Tok videos on trophy GF number 5 (or on to number 6) with no kids and a family who despises him. His most famous relationship is telling Greg Jennings to f off and go play for that team DURING A PACKERS GAME! (He told Carlos Rodgers :"You guys should go get him next year" (about Jennings)) Or hanging out with McAfee and Hawk as he airs his weekly grievances. Rodgers gets into psychotic internet wars with sportswriters who say anything about him like they won't vote for him for MVP for violating NFL rules and lying about it. He shows his toes in press conferences and then goes on rants about people talking about his toes. Rodgers taunts Bears fans with "I own you!!!" He appears to be a narcissist with some deep seeded issues. Hating everyone around him because Jordan Love was drafted in the exact same way as Aaron Rodgers himself is a clear sign of a deranged personality. Mark Murphy has been part of the Packers leadership since 2007. He called Rodgers a complicated fella because he was being polite. Rodgers got his first coach fired and he's already tried to undermine his new coach. Brady gets 20 benefits of the doubt. Rodgers gets none. Both on merit.

We’re past the point of desperation for weapons going into year two. No one in house to pay besides Josh Allen and potentially Cam Robinson in the immediate next couple years, go throw money around.
