The Athletic's Joseph Person reports NFL insiders believe "the Texans will want three first-round picks, or two first-rounders and an established player" in exchange for Deshaun Watson. The astronomical price for Watson makes sense after the Rams had to part with a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick to acquire Matthew Stafford from Detroit. If the Texans are willing to hold out for that kind of offer, that could narrow Watson's suitors to two or three teams. Person, who covers the Panthers, was skeptical of the team selling out to get Watson, since doing so would make it tougher to improve the team's offensive line. The Panthers would owe Teddy Bridgewater $23 million if they stay put at QB in the coming months -- an unlikely scenario by all accounts. Watson being dealt to Carolina would make D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson much sought-after players in 2021 fantasy drafts. The Houston Chronicle's John McClain reported the Texans would want two first round draft picks, two second rounders, and two defensive starters in exchange for Deshaun Watson. McClain's oddly specific trade scenario is hardly a guarantee that the wretched Houston defense would improve in 2021, especially if they part ways with J.J. Watt this offseason. McClain, a longtime Houston beat reporter, said the Texans should start with the Jets, who are reportedly at the top of Watson's trade wish list. The Athletic's Joseph Person, meanwhile, said league insiders expect Houston to demand three first round picks for Watson. Probably it depends on the caliber of defensive player in question, but Person's scenario would seem to be more realistic with demand for Watson, 25, as high as any player in recent NFL history.
Yeah, three firsts and a player isn’t going to do it. Sorry Hannah! (Who was insanely hot back in the 80’s by the way)
I'd call the Jets and say give me 5 first-rounders and he's all yours. If Stafford is worth 2 first-rounders, then Watson is worth around 5.
Still so sad watching a star with a really good attitude get screwed over by an organization. It’s not like he’s crazy like Antonio Brown. Just really bad ownership and leadership. It’s been a soap operah for years. Good luck to you Watson, we should have been better to you.
Lol Deshaun must think everyone 20-30 has money like him and can just open up businesses that easy. Cmon man
Lmao thats the conclusion you come to? Anyone can download coinbase and put a couple dollars a month towards chainlink for example, and that's called investing. It's not just opening businesses... And if you’re not trying to find ways to escape the 9-5 wageslave life then you're doing it wrong. You dont need money like Deshaun to get out of the "work until 60-65 then retire" mindset.
Or the texans are super inept he wanted financial security and then the texans made a bunch more inept moves and it became clear the texans were a rudderless mess. If there is a contract you sign..you know that. This notion the texans couldnt have made irreversible mistakes after he signed is weird hill to die on especially considering texan organization track record.. All these texans apologists with nothing to base it on past easterby smiling and cal talking about ice bucket challenge. You texan mcnair apologists are creepy af
I guess Watson ran out of song lyrics. How long before he starts posting stuff from Battlefield Earth?
This would ideal: 2nd overall pick 27th overall pick 34th overall pick 2022 1st Rounder 2022 2nd Rounder Quinnen Williams
Dumbass pancakes is talking about Deshaun trades...after proclaiming that the Texans were never going to trade Watson just 2 weeks ago.
Same dumbass said Easterby has had no involvement in the GM search process. And then we find out he convinces Cal to drop everything and hire Casserio. Pancakes is as much of an insider as the guy who washes the jockstraps.
Somebody PLEASE make a GIF of the George Constanza and the locker room wedgie scene with McClain head as George!
