The Broncos should be all over this; but I hope he goes to the NFC. The AFC is already loaded with QB’s.

Also, he’s rapey.

LMAO


:

Oof. A few months ago maybe. With whats currently lingering i dont see it. It would never happen but **** what if TN pulled it off?

Washington football team is only a QB away….

Saints
Giants
Patriots
Colts
Broncos
Washington (but rapey stuff may not be good up there)

Think the Packers would swing a player swap for Rodgers? Does AR have a no-trade clause allowing him to veto?

LMAO Well, at least it paints a clearer picture of how seriously the NFL as a whole is taking his "off the field" issues. Talking heads seem to be content to sweep it under the rug

Oilers fan?

If Washington and Philadelphia end up in a bidding war for him this could get interesting, though.

I think he lands in Philly or Miami. If I had to pick one, I'd go with Philly because they're in the NFC, and because of their draft capital and young QB (From the Houston Area) who would likely be part of the deal. Miami also has the young QB they could include.

[QUOTE=TEX;15755039]Rogers? He would never go play for a shit team and the Texans have shit for him to work with. He would retire.

Yep, good call on both of these

Watson for Carr. David masturbates himself to death, on air.

I'm with you on this take, but I lean a bit more to Miami because Watson is looking to hype his brand. That's much easier to to in Miami. If you **** up in Philly, they throw batteries at you.

So, what about the legal business?

Which city has the best at home masseuses?

Not at all. Just thinking if he had an actual play action game and those two wide outs.

Doesn’t matter he flies them in to anal lube him.

Anything less than 3x 1sts... and 2x 2nds is a steal

Under normal circumstances, I might agree with you. But you have a toxic enviornment in Houston and the pending legal issues complicate things. Yes, he's fun to watch when he's on his game, but I see disaster happening sooner than later. He's not PMII.

I would be terrified to give up what it takes knowing what happened this offseason. This is going to be a Hail Mary for someone.

Green Bay trades Rogers to the Raiders for Carr, cause Adams wants to be reunited with his college QB.... hahahahaha

Which of these scrap ass QB's will Denver end up over paying for

O M G

How about Denver trades its future away. Has a sub par season, then Watson gets banned from the NFL year after!

Ain't nobody giving Houston jack or shit until they KNOW what's going to happen with Watson long term. I can't see that happening this season.

Was coming to post this. No one is doing anything that substantial until it's cleared up.

We got a steal with Mahomes....

But, to be fair to the "experts", there was a lot of thought that he had a big arm but in no way was he considered by many analysts a for sure, cant miss, top NFL QB.

putting aside his off the field issues, Watson is now a proven top QB in the league. He should get the largest haul in league history.

The amount of trade interest will probably tell us what league insiders think about his legal issues.

Make it happen Miami

If Rodgers thought the Packers front office was a train wreck...

**** it, come on GB and Houston... ****ing do it you bitches

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.

Spoken like a true pussy.

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”

They didn't kill their leverage for a trade; Watson killed their leverage.

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.

You would be wrong, he is actually pretty ****ing good period.

The problem for Watson and any team that wants to trade for him is that the criminal investigation won't play out until well into 2022 (and that doesn't even include the civil lawsuits).

If the NFL waits to hand out their punishment until Watson's criminal investigation is resolved then it will drag into next season as well.

And of course if the criminal investigation ends up in charges against Watson or if any new allegations surface then all bets are off.

Miami of course! Remember Robert Kraft before the 2019 AFC Championship game? LMAOLMAO

Guys, no one is Mahomes.

Watson is a top 5-6 QB.

1-Mahomes
2-Rodgers
3-Wilson
4-6- in any order, Watson/Allen/Brady

Thats how I see it, plus he is 25.

He puts up nice stats, but he's never accomplished a thing in the postseason, other than being a choke artist.

Jack Easterby will probably ask for all those draft picks and players, but the best offer he'll receive will only be like one 1st round pick and maybe some change.

And he'll probably accept it. Because he's a stupid ****ing weasel.

I mean he was up 24-0 ..... ROFL

Yeah, then he lost by 20 points.

He's the Picasso of choke artists.

I mean, lets be honest at least. His Head Coach was a moron.

For sure, but he was good enough to coach them to that same 24-0 lead...then he and his QB shit the bed in historic fashion.

A guy like Ray Rice gets permabanned for what he did (deservedly so), but Watson gets what is looking like it's shaping up to be the "out of sight, out of mind" treatment because..........why, exactly?

Yea I don't get the mentality. I want good rivalry games in the division. Nothing better than breaking hearts of division rivals. Stomping bad teams is just ok.

You have to beat good teams to win the SB and frankly KC should fear no one.

Because there is video of Rice knocking his wife out cold and Watson has what amounts to allegations at this point?

You're not wrong, lol.

I guess I was going for the angle of sheer number of women that have come forward with their allegations. I wonder how many chose not to say anything.

Watson is most definitely guilty of something, exactly what and how much is yet to be determined.

Oh common, just massage his butthole..... Last time I checked that's a muscle

Bet not. Nick Cicero is doing the asking. He's not gonna trade Watson for pennies on the dollar. He'll wait until next year if what he gets isn't close to his asking price. IMO, next season would be the best plan anyway. By then, pick order will be established and Watson's legal issues may be settled.

Except it’s gonna cost at least one of those WR, and a really good defensive player or 2, plus draft picks which will make it harder to get quality replacements for the players they lose. I’m all for him going to Dungver, I don’t think he’ll be a thorn in our side. Especially with the way Failway blows through assistant coaches, and coaches.

He didn’t even coach them to that lead. Chiefs we’re making ridiculously bad mistakes that cost them early. Once everyone settled down, we took em to the woodshed.

10 total accusations with the Houston PD, including 2 new ones with no connection to Hardin.

What a dysfunctional organization the Houston Texans are.

I highly doubt any team right now will give them that much picks, considering the sexual assaults issues is still hanging over Watson's head.

Very glad that this whole mess isn't related to the Chiefs of any kind.

5 High Draft picks for a serial molester? Do it Donks!!

Well, without all the baggage, they are certainly well within reality to ask for such an offer. No team is going to give them that at this point. A few may consider it and hell, I guess there could be an owner or two crazy enough to take that risk... but, the dust hasn't settled on what happens to him and what the league will or won't do as a result.

If Watson is somehow cleared of everything, then yeah - party on and they can get a ransom. But, at this point, I don't see 5 high draft picks and players coming their way.

Watson is one of the most overrated players ever. Not as overrated as Lamar Jackson was, but still overrated.

Could've traded Watson to the Jets for their 4 1st (this year and next) and then could've traded the 2nd to SF. Well they could've before all the news broke about Watson. There QB situation would be the same as it is now and they'd have much more draft capitol.

Now their in this position of letting it be known they will look at offers.

This narrative needs to die. The official start of the league season happened AFTER the allegations were made public. No team is trading that much in draft capital when a situation like that just became public knowledge, handshake deal be damned.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Attorney Rusty Hardin says that 10 criminal complaints are now pending against Deshaun Watson (including two from women who haven&#39;t sued him), in an apparent effort to get the Texans to be more reasonable in their trade expectations. <a href="https://t.co/Rd7MX8beJu">https://t.co/Rd7MX8beJu</a></p>&mdash; ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) <a href="https://twitter.com/ProFootballTalk/status/1419756351002140673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Mahomes must be worth 20 1st round picks if Watson gets 5 from some idiot franchise. :doh!:

So, a team offers KC 10 straight R1 picks and any two players from their roster. You interested?

Think he could go to Philly for 2 firsts, Hurts, Ertz, and Reagor.

Maybe even 3. At the end of the day he still has 10+ years in his career still. He’s worth whatever short term hinderance there may be.

No team will give the house him with his pending off the field circumstances.

Lol, we flat out stole him for a R1 pick swap, a 3rd, and a future 1st.

Best trade in NFL history.

LMAO
