I'd agree normally but they told him they'd keep him in the loop. It's just dumb to literally not tell him anything after saying you would. I also don't blame him for not trusting them to do a good job, they're one of the worst run organizations in the NFL.
It's just a major conflict of interest for an employee to be involved in the selection process of the person responsible for negotiating his salary and his teammates. There has to be separation, just like any company. Owners don't ask employees who they want as CFO.
No, mind sharing?
“… the loose consensus was three first-round draft picks,” Florio wrote for Pro Football Talk. “As one GM put it, if the first of the first-round picks lands in the top 10 of the 2021 draft, that would help get it done.”
Pass. Trading Tua and taking on Watson absolutely destroys Miami's cap flexibility. It puts us in salary cap ****.
He's apparently ****ed that they didn't keep him in the loop for the coaching search or GM search after they said they would. He found out who the GM was on Twitter. Houston continues to look like a **** show. Apparently he has a no trade clause in his contract but he's open to going to Miami and he's thinking of demanding a trade so who knows....m
Report: Deshaun Watson would consider trade to Dolphins - ProFootballTalk
Reports about quarterback Deshaun Watson‘s unhappiness with the Texans came across the radar this week and it has led to speculation about whether Watson will push for a trade away from Houston. That speculation is unlikely to end after a report from Chris Mortensen of ESPN on Sunday. Mortensen...www.google.com
I'd rather trade with Jacksonville and get Lawrence.
Yeah **** em. Ride with Tua for now. Most I would give is Tua, #18 and maybe #36 and a late round pick or two. Would still leave is with a 1st, 2nd and whatever is leftover.
I wanted to ask someone more familiar with our cap situation about this. I know we're in a decent place but not like last offseason. Wonder if Watson would be willing to re-work his contract, or if thats even a possibility.
Absolutely. This really all depends on how ****ed Watson is. I'm sure the Texans are trying to repair the relationship right now and if they can, this all goes away.
Thing is, a guy like Watson is pretty laid back and conservative, so if he's ****sd off at you you really really earned that ****.
Texans need to think long term. Watson is a Top 5 quarterback who is 25 years old. He has at least ten years left. With proper drafting, Houston can be back and competitive within three seasons. As Miami has found, it can take considerably longer to luck into a franchise quarterback of Watson's caliber.
How many “companies” in this particular business have legit starting caliber QBs? That’s why you listen to yours when you have one.
Yeah, but who’s the Costner of this thing?
Without a 1st or 2nd this year, it'll likely take them longer than 3 years. But, your approach still makes sense for them - unless Watson is legitimately done with them. If he shuts down, the equation changes. And, then they may have to hit the big reset button.
