I know there are Bill O'Briens out there that would give three first rounders for Deshaun Watson, but no intelligent GM would give that, I could see 2 firsts and a second but the Texans will likely have to lower their expectations a tad. [Reply]

The Miami GM, defensive coordinator, ex defensive coordinator all come from the Patriots. He may be less like the tree but I would not trust that given the shit show he just went through. [Reply]

All the Texans had to do was interview him, then claim they found someone they liked better. That they didn't offer even a courtesy interview speaks volumes about Easterby and is exactly the reason Watson should leave asap no matter how much they try to convince him to stay. [Reply]

Last time the GM was with the Patriots was in 1999. Before the "Patriots Way" [Reply]

Depends on the contract. Some of the contracts with huge signing bonuses become impossible to trade given the cap hit the trading team would incur. So a team just can not trade the guy. Some of those contracts are way too high so no one is going to want them.
Deshaun is sort of a exception then the rule. Not much a signing bonus.
Further the thing the NBA has is max contracts and no cap hit to the trading team. So a team can easily decide if the player is worth a max contract or not. Further a lot of those contracts are short periods and at the end of those contracts they can walk. So a guy with 1-2 years left tells team trade me now or you get nothing. That is compelling.
If the guy is in the NFL you can look at him and say nah we will just franchise you for a couple more years.
What is Deshaun's options for not getting traded? Not report? OK. Report and not try? MMM unlike the NBA good chance you get hurt if not by the other team, your own team. [Reply]

You're nuts if you don't think it's going to take at the very least 3 first round picks to trade for one of the best QBs in the league. [Reply]

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t want easier paths to Super Bowls. Right now, Houston with Watson is not a threat. If he goes to Miami, they are. [Reply]
