    I mostly feel relief that the saga is over.

    We won't draft well with these picks, but whatever. As long as a bad owner reigns, apathy reigns.

    Not defending the Deshaun trade, but Wilson is more proven, far less risky, and Broncos were uber desperate hours after losing their dream date Rodgers. That was a steep price the Broncos paid to go all in.

    It is what it is. 2 1st rd picks for the next 3 years + cap space. Draft well and surround Mills with some weapons and get some talent on D

    Honestly Nick was put in a tough spot with that NTC given to by a person that Nick fans also love. You dance with the devil you end up in a devil's four way.
    NTC should be reason #112023202302 that the organization should have cut ties with the brilliant deal maker.

    Me too. I used to watch every game but last year, I only watched the first five games. I still post on this forum but I’ve given up on this team.

    Texans don’t deserve fans time and energy.

    it’s liked being severely tortured and you are given a choice:

    1). Stop the torture but you never get justice
    2). Continue the torture and you may have a pathway to justice but it’s not guaranteed.

    either way it’s not great. Caserio chose #1. Clearly they didn’t have the stomach to play hardball

    if we aren't taking back salary - how much cap does that create?

    a little disappointed in the return as I was thinking we'd get at least one proven young player, especially where the Brown's are drafting. then to see a third and fourth while giving back a fifth?

    better hit your picks nick or we will....... do nothing and keep complaining while still watching and buying merchandise

    But Wilson is about 5 years older as well. Deshaun definitely has alot more football and a higher ceiling.

    Seattle got a better deal with the Wilson trade.

    And... we got less than we hoped. It was pitched as "a Herschel Walker" trade. But folks have to go back and see what DAL got for Walker: 3 1sts, 3 2nds, a 3rd, a 6th and players: LB Jesse Solomon; LB David Howard; CB Issiac Holt; DE Alex Stewart. From those picks and subsequent moves, DAL got Emmett Smith, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, and Darren Woodsen.

    Hoping that Watson gets suspended by the league, but being a Texan fan, I have a sneaking suspicion that based on CLE's quick contract renegotiation CLE got word from the league that Watson won't be suspended... at least not for a significant part on 2022.

    Life as a Texan fan...

    I watch a game or two when I see folks hype up mills just to see him sht the bed. U should watch the Rockets rebuild it is a lot more exciting than the church of Texans.

    Yes those are the pros for Deshaun. There are also cons and significantly different context. I think Wilson is actually like 7 years older. But Broncos were desperate.

    Hope Watson wins a ring and drinks the tears from everyone crying about these false accusations

    Watson had total control on where he went and the Browns knew this. Atlanta could have offered 6 first round picks and it wouldn't have mattered if Watson wasn't getting the same type of contract he got from Cleveland. The Browns gave Watson a ridiculous contract offer and as a final FU to Houston he may have told Cleveland and Houston he would only ever waive his no trade for them so Cleveland adjusted accordingly.

    For you smart people....

    Is the Texans cap cleared of Watson's contract or is there some 'dead money' still affecting it?
