How about Watson for Darnold?

Not sure about our leverage, but he only costs 10.5 million on the cap next year. That's unreal and gives us huge cap flexibility to sign the best free agent WRs and Olineman.

It would be great, no doubt, but only if it doesn't kill the rebuild.  Detroit and Atlanta have very good quarterbacks who rarely make the playoffs.  Don't want to be one of those teams.

I don't think it's going to happen either way.  Saleh and LaFleur come from a program where Jimmy Garoppolo got them to the Super Bowl.  Do we even need a Watson type if the Shanahan system is based on zone blocking, tons of rushing yards, and play action?  If we can get 80% of the production out of Fields at 10% of Watson's price, isn't that the smarter move?  Garoppolo 2.0?

It’s amazing how many people think Watson is just going to be given away.

Your post is on point. In the box safety netted two first rounders. 25 year old franchise QBs might cost a little bit more than that....just a little

Plus a first to Houston in 22? Somebody was mentioning 3 first round picks for Watson. I like Watson but 3 ones is too much. I would rather sit at 2 and draft Wilson or Fields. But Houston might be interested in Darnold as a sweetener for their loss. They may think Darnold has some upside still and could develop with a better cast around him.

 

 

Personally, considering Darnold's potential away from Adam Gase, I'd offer then Sam Darnold and a 3rd for Watson and their 2nd round pick.

The deal is Watson for Fields. That’s all it needs to be.  They need Fields more than we need Watson. We have the leverage here. 

We get their troubled, expensive, injury-plagued veteran, they get the top available collegiate prospect. They get to recruit Daboll, they get to sell season tickets and sell a valid reset to their fanbase.

Yes, that would be the deal.  Why fans want to mortgage the future with multiple 1st round draft picks, when in fact that deal would solve so many of Houston's problems is baffling to me.  Get a young stud QB on a rookie deal, and not doling out $30M per year for multiple years and saving cap space for building up the team is payment enough.  Perhaps too much, but I would have to make that deal.

That’s because Darnold and the Jets are so unwatchable any fans outside the Jets local TV area haven’t seen him play.

The reason I like the Jets 4 1st RD picks is that gives the Texans 5 1st RD picks in 2 years.

I want Jets (2) 1st RD picks in 2021 and (2) 1st RD picks in 2022 and whatever else we can get.

Or my absolute favorite:

Nope. I am interested in negotiating only with the top three teams. Would pretty much rule out Jags As they should be set with Trevor Lawrence.

Jets: 1.2 + 1.23 + LT Mekhi Becton + DE Quennin Williams + 3.66 and 3.87

2022 rounds 1 and 2

 

Which is exactly how some posters here would be in the same situation.  If there's a trade...any trade...there are going to be some mighty unhappy fans on both sides.

[football guy]

Fans are setting themselves up to be let down with the Deshaun Watson hysteria. Would it be great? Yes. Deshaun is an elite, franchise QB. Do I think it happens? No. I think there's a greater chance he remains in Houston, is traded to Miami, or traded to Carolina. 

I think Watson would approve a trade to New York, but I don't see the Jets matching the type of offer Carolina or Miami would make because Joe Douglas's stance that the roster needs a lot of work to build a sustainable winner; he's not going to give up 3 1st round picks+ for any player. Even if all 3 were to make offers and they were somewhat similar, Deshaun would have power where he goes via the no-trade clause (and given the status of the Dolphins/Panthers rosters its hard to see him pass up those opportunities for the Jets) and the Texans would likely prefer to send him out of the AFC. 

If he gets traded, I think he'll end up in Carolina. They have a roster stacked with talent, a bold owner who will work to get the deal done, a window to become the top team in the division (Brees retiring, Brady 1-2 more years), a stabilized culture, and a new GM who made a name for himself for his involvement in brokering blockbuster trades. Keep in mind, since Pete Carroll arrived in 2010 the team has traded away 6 1st round picks and 2 2nd round picks... if there was a team out there who would consider sending 4 1st round picks, I think it would be the Panthers.

OMG... wait for it... I'm actually going to agree with you...  This debate is on and on and on, but never thought about it this way. They are essentially getting Fields as well with our #2. So I might spice it up a bit with another pick, but that's it.

And for those who are saying if Adams was worth 2 1st's and a 3rd, what is Watson worth... Well sometimes you get over on a GM, and sometimes you don't. I'm not going to sit here and say Sneider is stupid, but that was a stupid deal, and he's the only one that made it. I'm sure JD had other deals he wasn't willing to do, and then walla, along came that deal. So no Watson is not worth 3 1st's...  I'd rather take Fields and keep our picks.

Certainly.  But let's discuss what the next-best scenario is, and that is a trade with the New York Jets to get Justin Fields which also comes with the leverage to get someone like Daboll to be excited about the Texans opening instead of staying in Buffalo.  It's not Watson for Fields straight up.  It's Watson for Fields + Daboll.  That's a very fair trade indeed.

And don't forget, unlike the Texans, the Jets aren't desperate.  We can stay with Fields, build around him, trade Darnold, and use our existing glut of picks to fix everything else on the team right-quick.  Hell, that sounds like the better option to me, why mess with it?  If the Texans weren't a-holes, we wouldn't be talking about Watson and giving away a ton of draft capital at all.  

If the Texans want Fields + Daboll, they need to meet our terms, not the other way around.

Tua is damaged goods, he had a season-long tryout and his own teammates were begging for Fitzpatrick of all people.  He's not a prototypical quarterback package and he doesn't do anything special.  It's why the Dolphins want out.

Tell me, if the Dolphins wanted to trade Tua to the Jets for the #2 pick in the draft, would you do it?  Hells no.  That's why the Texans can't do it either.  Tua isn't going to get Texans fans excited enough to re-up for season tickets after a pandemic.  These are Astros fans, remember?  They know a thing or two about high-caliber play from their professional sports teams.  The promise of Fields + Daboll is their best outcome.  And only the Jets can provide it.

Someone educate me on the Shanahan / LaFleur offense and I can answer this question.

I might be wrong, but isn't it about zone blocking turning no-name running backs into all-pro's and a game-manager quarterback making smart reads and making quick, short throws?  If Garoppolo could get Salah and LaFleur to the Super Bowl, can't Fields or (gulp) Darnold?  Do we need a Watson if we are playing small ball and aren't running a home run offense?

Please, no Watson! Douglas will build a strong team with all the draft picks he accumulated, giving them all away for one man, no matter how good, doesn’t make sense. If he thinks Darnold can be fixed and thrive in a new system, trade down and acquire even more picks, if not ,Wilson looks like a great option. In that case trade Darnold for a second, forget about Watson, let another team mortgage their future.

Giving them all away? Who said anything about giving them all away? 

Would it be better to give the #2 pick "away" for an unproven college player that could be a bust? That's what you are doing when you take Wilson at 2

If the Texans want Fields and, by extension, an elite head coaching prospect like Daboll, the trade will be on our terms, not theirs.

The Jets can stay put and do just fine.  We were all excited about Saleh, LaFleur, and Fields/Wilson just a few days ago.  Nothing has changed other than we may have the option to upgrade at quarterback *if* it doesn't cripple the rebuild necessary on D, OL, etc.

The only thing putting me in the Watson camp at all is the threat of the Dolphins getting him, maybe the Patriots.  In that context, if he's there we must get him so we don't have to watch him help our AFCE competitors take our playoff spot.

I wonder if the Jets could work around something like giving up the #2 pick this year, one of the 1st round picks next year, 2023 1st round pick, and Darnold for Watson? That's 3 1st round picks total (including the #2 this year) and Darnold. I wonder if that could work for both sides. Jets would still own a 1st round pick this year and next.
