doitny Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 8 minutes ago, Smashmouth said: 2 things you refuse to see here. 1. The Jets have the most desirable pick at #2 where Houston can trade that pick and obtain more picks or use it to out right pick a replacement for Watson . Miami's pick is not as desirable because the team with the #2 has the option between Fields, Wilson or Trade. Miami at #3 has what's left from the choice number 2 makes. Houston trading a guy like Watson will want that decision to be there's unless they keep up the stupidity. Any team wanting to trade up for a QB (meaning fields or Wilson) would be complete Idiots to deal with the Dolphins and not the Jets/Houston if they make the trade. 2. Stop comparing this to the Heschel walker deal .... That deal was the dumbest football deal ever made and is 100 times different than Watson asking for a trade. No body cares what that deal netted because to even bring up that deal in any type of negotiation would get you laughed out of the room not only due to the stupidity of the deal but because it was about a RB NOT a QB . If Watson asks to be traded the Texans will probably call the Jets first (or Jets call them IF they are interested) because of the desirable picks we currently have and a 23 year old QB that can compete for a job there. Houston, as I have said is losing leverage by the day. The Key to this whole situation is that Deshaun is wanting out which puts pressure on Houston's management. Its not like they are trying to trade a player that wants to stay there which would have given them time and the leverage to ask for a kings ransom. There are variables in this situation that makes the deal progressively worse for Houston and the main thing they have to focus on is replacing their QB and starting over. Bottom line JD may not even want to do this he may want to trade out of 2 and get a boat load of picks himself and build our team the way he sees fit. and if we trade #2 we are going to have Numerous number 1's 2's and 3's this year and next before its all over. We have the option of keeping Darnold gaining a boat load of picks and drafting a guy like Mac Jones to compete with Darnold and Morgan ...So JD may not want to give up a stupid amount of picks to get Watson like some may think. but like i said on another post. if im houston i can take 4 1s from another team and then trade maybe 2 to the jets for the #2 pick. then i got 2 #1s left plus the 2nd pick for my QB. i get more if im Houston that way. the more picks i get for Watson, the more i have to trade with the Jets to get the 2 pick AND still have some left over. and the Walker trade was dumb, but it was for a RB. not a QB. you agree its the most important position in Football. hes only 25. he threw for almost 5,000 yds on a 4 win team. 2 #1s aint doing it. there are teams like NE Chicago and others who are a QB away from the SB. Ind is another one. those teams will bid hard for Watson. you will see. and i can see Belichick giving up the house to get his hands on a QB like Watson. and the reason the Walker trade was bad is because Walker didnt do what he was suppose to do. if he ran for 1500 yds each year and they won a SB or 2 it would have been looked like a win win for both teams. if a team thats good like NE, like Ind , Like Chicago, the Raiders. they are one super 5,000 yd a year QB away from the SB. for those teams giving up the house would be worth it.

Popular Post carlito1171 Posted January 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2021 People are just sidestepping the fact that Watson has a no trade clause.....20 teams can be interested, but ultimately he’s in the driver’s seat because he’s only gonna waive it for a team he wants to play for. Texans royally f’ed up this situation in an unprecedented way if they can’t get Watson on the same page by hiring a coach he likes and trying to work it out. This will be an NBA type of trade when it goes down. Watson holds all the cards here. He’ll just holdout if it comes to it....and he has the same agent as Jalen Ramsey so don’t think he won’t play hardball to get his way out.....This bodes well for the Jets, Phins or whoever else enters the conversation based on Watson’s interests. But I don’t think you’ll see a kings ransom being given the Houston given the circumstances. There will only be a few eligible teams to sit at the table when they’re ready to trade him..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson doesn’t have all the cards. Texans have to agree too. They have a legit threat to force Watson to play/hold out. They own his rights for 5 more years. If a team Watson wants to play for comes with the best offer, there’s no conflict. Where it gets interesting if the biggest offer is from a team Watson doesn’t want.

Now if you want to talk about the legalities of Houston making him honor the contract then fine I don’t dispute that....but time and time again disgruntled players find their way out of situations they don’t want to be in....this is why I liken it to an NBA trade because of how we see stars force the issue all the time....I understand we don’t see these types of deals in the NFL but this is an unprecedented, wild situation in Houston. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson has some leverage not disputing that at all, I was only reacting to the statement that he has “all the cards” (I understand you were short-handing). If the Texans are evaluating multiple offers that are close in value, they’ll take the one that Watson is comfortable with to avoid further drama. But if a team that Watson doesn’t want knocks their socks off, they do have some cards to play. Then it becomes a game of who blinks first. I tend to agree it’s more likely to be the team. Don’t think we actually disagree, that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sacrificed a chicken in my back yard to get Favre here. I’m a real fan. I’m willing to tank, join a cult, and sacrifice livestock for a top 10 QB. Sam was a jet for life.

johnnyjet Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I would love to have Watson at the right price. He’s young he’s proven and he’s a great team guy. No worries about him being a bust. Look at what he did with crap talent around him. Numbers don’t lie. I think we can get this done with Joe at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no brainer. You're not going to hit on all of your first rounders to the extent you would with an all world QB on your team. I don't understand why you would hold on to draft capital instead of getting a potential Hall of Fame QB in his prime. That's how you win. 2 or 3 of the 5 players could end up being average starters and the other two could be good/very good players. That's best case scenario. I swear, some people would rather hold on to the unknown than get a Peyton Manning at 25. And we'd have plenty of picks and cash to give him the playmakers and lineman next season.

So many hear just want any big name out there forget about picks, opportunity cost, cap, just get the guy who won 5 games this year. NO What do you think would be the best option at QB? If Miami trades for Watson what would be your answer to that to keep your team competitive in the division? If the Fins went 10-6 with Fitz and the Bills on a impressive playoff run where would stand as far as QB? Please tell me a viable alternative.

It's one thing to just not want Watson or whatever, but to go at it like this makes is just ridiculous. Then you start talking about opportunity cost etc to back your stance. The real opportunity cost risk in this scenario is not trading for Watson, it's keeping the picks, drafting a QB who then flops.

Jetster Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Deshaun Watson would be the most preeminent athlete in the New York scene if he came to the Jets! You’d see kids from Jersey, Manhattan, Long Island, Westchester county with Watson Jets jerseys. He’d put the Jets right back on the map instantly in the minds of every NFL fan. His entourage would be huge in the entertainment industry. There are some pretty famous Jet fans who would be proud to rep the Green & White.

It is amazing that this is going on with any NFL team And I also agree we are really the only team that can get Watson if we want him. 1. The Jets have to picks to get Watson say----- Three (3) No.1's and a Second next year. 2. Watson wants to work with HC Robert Saleh! How do we know? Simple, Watson asked the Texans to interview Saleh! 3. Why is No.2 above is important because people say Miami is the best landing spot for Watson and they are wrong! Why? Look at the yoyo way that that Miami treated Tua, and that is the "Patriot Way" and more importantly who is Miami's OC? The answer is Miami doesn't know, they just don't know... They fired Gailey so what type of Offense are they going to run? Compare that with the Jets who are going to be running the most QB favorable offense in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
