It’s incredibly stupid as is typical with the Texans.
They are potentially depressing his trade value for a player who has vowed to sit out and never play for them again.
And even if he had a change of heart, he might not even be available to play if he ends up on the league’s exempt list. [Reply]

And if you don’t trade him, why force your organization to answer for these allegations?
And what if the league overreacts and suspends him? They can appeal and win, but that still takes time and creates uncertainty.
I can’t see an organization being that dumb. That would be as dumb as an organization making Bill O’Brien their HC and GM. I mean who would do something that fucking stupid?
They might be willing to take less in return if the fan base thinks they're trading a piece of shit instead of the savior.

So the NFL thinks Watson is guilty already?
As far as I can tell, there are no rules. Goodell can do it whenever he wants. Accusations do not require a shred of proof. Protect the shield. [Reply]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but being put on the list isn’t supposed to imply that the person is guilty
Buuuuutttttt...that’s exactly what the public will assume. [Reply]

Dude, this is the one that didn't go through with what he wanted.
I'm sure this is something he just does all the time. He looks through IG, finds the ones he likes and flies them in. I bet he has like a 98% success rate and it's almost never an issue.
These are clearly the ones that said no and may now cause his career to suffer. [Reply]

I'll wait to hear more on what actually happened. I don't know if it's just airing dirty laundry (if so, nfl owners will want to squash this real fast) or if it's actual assault. The timing and McNair relationship seem super super shady.
But to your question about if Houston is stupid enough to do it? Yes. Easterby sold DeAndre Hopkins for donuts because he didn't like baby mamas being around. Easterby was in kc when they leaked a bunch of personal stories about Todd haley to drive him to quit. To no surprise, the players claim they are constantly being spied on. When it comes to Easterby you can't rule out stupid. He is so committed to buying into his culture that he'll cut his nose off to spite his face. [Reply]
