The point is, there are and will be options.
I could continue down this path and wind up with far more questions than answers at this moment. If the Texans want a quarterback in return, would teams with the rights to Sam Darnold, Tua Tagovailoa, Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan and Teddy Bridgewater ship them to Houston? Would Houston even want any of them? Will the Texans want to draft a quarterback in April? If so, the Jets and Dolphins could offer the best packages. Pencil in the 49ers for Super Bowl LVI if Kyle Shanahan can get his hands on Watson. He could be close to his Gainesville, Ga., home with the Falcons or Panthers. He spends a lot of time in New York with his publicist and friend Bryan Burney. (Side note: what does fair market price even mean anymore with what's going on with GameStop? Anyway.) Teams that make the most sense for Watsonīecause Watson's 2021 cap hit for his new team would only be about $10.5 million, any team wanting him could easily bring him on despite the anticipated cap dip next season. If a team wants Watson, they should have to pay a fair market price for him. The Texans, by virtue of having the NFL's most prized asset available for trade in at least a decade, have leverage over teams wanting Watson's services.
Or he could provide that list to Houston first and let GM Nick Caserio get to work on the first and biggest deal of his Texans career.īy virtue of his no-trade clause and the threat of being a non-performing high-value asset, Watson has leverage over the Texans. If he and the Texans work together on this as they should, he can allow the offers to come into Houston and then privately give his wish list to the Texans. More likely, Watson has a list of places he'd be willing to go.
#THE WATSON GAME DOWLOAD FREE FREE#
That means luring free agents to a team (or keeping would-be free agents on a team) that doesn't have a lame-duck quarterback. Why? Because now that the genie is out of the bottle, the Texans need to start putting together the best roster that they can without Watson. The start of the new league year is March 17, and that should be considered by all parties - Watson, the Texans and Team X that will be quarterbacked by Watson - to be a firm deadline. News of Watson's request came about 12 hours after the Texans finally made their head coaching hire (despite being the first team with an opening in the 2020 season.) Similarly, it's futile to wonder how much Watson would be fined if he doesn't show up to training camp. It's useless at this point to believe the relationship can be repaired. The most beneficial course of action for Watson and the Texans would now be to cool tempers, set egos aside and work collaboratively for the final time on finding a trade partner. His time in Houston is done and look no further than team owner Cal McNair as the reason. Requesting a trade is the point of no return for a player like Watson. Because of Watson's no-trade clause, Houston can't hold an auction for their once-franchise quarterback, but the Texans still have to get appropriate (if not exact) value in return for the high-value asset. The majority of NFL teams covet Watson and several will actually be lining up with offers for him. Watson wants out of Houston, and he's ultimately going to get his way so long as rational thinking and reason prevail. In the case of Deshaun Watson, it takes three to tango.
