No way around it, Rodgers in Denver or LV would be bad for us. We'd still win the division but one of those eventual losses could cost us HFA.

I would beat you down with my fists and hold you down with my submission moves long after you've tapped out

Aren’t the Texans killing their leverage for a trade?

“We’re not trading Deshaun Watson!”

*Watson gets at least somewhat credibly accused of forcing multiple women to oil his butthole while he jerks off*

“We are open to trading Deshaun Watson”

Now they're hoping someone is desperate enough to take that baggage off their plate and give them a healthy return.

They don't have a choice. Watson, unlike Rogers, told everyone that he is done playing there. He even told their new HC to screw off.

John Elway should be on the phone right now.

Yeah Denver, trade away years of players and picks for someone that Mahomes has already proven he's better than on multiple occasions. I don't know why people fear Watson so much, he's already proven to be a choke artist similar to Lamar Jackson. I fear Herbert and the Chargers more than I fear Watson and the Donks/Raiders.

They’re “open” to trading Watson for some combination of 5 high draft picks or starting quality players….

I'm in agreement here.

Legal issues aside, Watson is overrated. Not as overrated as Lamar Jackson, but close. Without Hopkins out there catching his arm punts, there's no way I'd want him as a franchise QB.

What about NE making a case for him

Watson in dever with those recievers would make some noise if they could get the Oline on track at all.

Okay how many good players in these situations actually fell out of football?

Tyreek? Nope
Kareem? Nope

Mike Vick was only in jail for like 550 days then he was back.

Clay Travis made a great point recently. The NFL’s covid policy is far tougher than their abuse policy.

If you’re good it doesn’t matter. And I think situations like Deshauns end up at worst in payouts and limited time for community service.

Well obviously it’s Watson’s fault.

My point was more that they’re showing concern by publicly being open to a trade. I think they need to just hold him and hope for the best.

Maybe someone gets aggressive to pry him away or maybe he’s able to play.

I may well be wrong, but this strategy seems to signal concern with Watson. Changing their stance at this time seems to weaken their leverage.
