I just can't see Houston actually going through with a trade for Watson. They might as well blow up their stadium while they are at it.

If Cowden gets the job then the Titans have a TE, WR and LB would could use, all hitting FA. Even a cheap back-up OL. I would expect us to target a couple.

I think we should make a list of what we shouldn't be willing to trade for Watson, I think it will be much shorter than the things I would be happy to trade for him

 

[CapsSkins]

So Houston is in cap hell on top of all their other issues. Is Whitney Mercilus a good OLB? Could be available for a post-6/1 trade.

Chase, Sweat, McLaurin

[Dark Acre]

Can someone briefly explain, or post links to articles that explain, how grown men could botch the QB situations in Houston and Miami?  Has Bruce Allen been investigated for having voodoo dolls of NFL GMs?

[Est.1974]

Feels like Darby and Scherff are the deals we need to sort first. If the mutual interest is there, let’s push forward with those.

Najee would be my primary target. If not him we can get a very serviceable back that can carry a load in the 3-6 range. There are going to be some stud backs falling. I don’t think using a draft pick is tying up resources and I think getting a bellcow would do wonders for us AND Gibson’s health.

 

Having said that... your point about so many holes is exactly why I’m not comfortable trading massive resources for a QB.

 

Cutting Collins is silly. 
 

 

 I am completely against trading draft picks for any potentially available QB not named Watson for the same reason. But it sounds like we may not even be able to jump in that game anyway so probably moot.

I’d love these moves. Signing Samuel AND Robinson? Crazy but awesome. It’s really unlikely. But I do hope we can sign at least one top WR.

My only quibble is I would not take that QB at 19. I’m trading that pick to Detroit for Stafford, if he’s available. If not, I’m finding another answer.

[DWinzit]

I know there is a split in interest, I am not certain I understand the negaitve side.....What are the negatives to bringing in a guy like Curtis Samuel? 

[JSSkinz]

Maybe I'm missing something but this talk of the Texans trading Watson is fantasy, they would accelerate $67M in dead cap if they traded him.

 

It's not happening.

I’ve been all over us targeting Samuel for some time. I’d see his value at 6-8mil per year maximum. Over that, I would say the negative is what his potential market value becomes, ie, 10mil plus per year. Too much IMO.

not on a trade they wouldn’t. Release or cut perhaps.

@KDawg you know anything about this guy?

I know of him but I haven’t watched him closely. I’ll watch a little of him on game pass this week and report back.

I thought that about a lot of things over the last 2 weeks. Now I believe they might. I could see Houston ending its football operations.

Would be absolutely hilarious if Nick Caserio quit after stepping into this dumpster fire

[seantaylor=god]

It doesn’t make sense for Houston to trade Watson. But it didn’t make sense to trade the best WR in the league either and they did that. And now they have completely pissed off the franchise player. It doesn’t make sense to trade Watson, but if he refuses to play for him, what will they realistically do? Bench him and get nothing? At some point, when the player doesn’t want to play for you, especially when he’s the leader of your team. You have to deal him. We are getting close to that point.

 

What would it take for us to get him? What would you give up?

 

I think it will take 3 firsts or two firsts and a player. I’m offering #19, a first next year, and Jonathan Allen.

Ending its football operations?

[Vanguard]

I don’t know how we should get it and I don’t know where we should get it.  But we have a serious need for a shutdown corner (maybe through the draft), a stud linebacker (maybe draft), a #2 wideout, and possibly a QB.

We’ll be better than we were last year.  Gibson will be one year better, Terry will be another year sharper and smarter, Chase will have a year under his belt.  I can’t wait.

I poorly worded that. How about shedding all its talent and getting draft capital. I just don't think their owner knows what they are doing. Then again Snyder.
