Texans reporter on what it will take to get Watson

[Leomaz]

There isn't even actual proof that he's asked to be traded so maybe we've all been duped....

Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago. Their new head-coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson's thinking.

Oh i'm sorry i thought you were looking for facts and the media saying he's asked for a trade is not a fact. You also asked in your post i replied to if there's actual proof of this and that you haven't found where DeShaun said it sooooooooo......................Exactly.

Well you're not going to hear it straight from his mouth. Its never been that way

He didn't come out and say it was a lie and wrong either

C’mon Rich.... if League sources say it’s true, it’s fucking true. If you want to argue go ask @Remy. He is great at it. I am argued out after being married for so long.

Here is the package:

1. This year's 1st
2. Next year's 1st
3. This year's 2nd
4. 2023 2nd
5. 2023 3rd
6. Roquan Smith
7. Jaylon Johnson

Done, have a nice life Roquan and Jaylon

 

[SlickWilly]

Roquan being on the smaller side and showing up out of shape is the stupidest thing you've read? Which part is untrue?

This place is utterly hopeless to have a real football conversation.

Check out how the guy played this year you fucking Special person. If you think he was out of shape you're not worth having a football conversation with. Smarten up and maybe people will talk football with you.

Pretty sure he hasn't come out and said anything at all. Leo is the one that started with asking if someone heard it from D.Watson himself and i was just replying sarcastically back at him.

What's C'mon Rich mean? Who's Rich?

I can't do anymore remy. You disagree with that guy and he doesn't stop.

I want something else back besides Watson then. He doesn't play inside and is getting older, but give me Whitney Mercilus also. Add another pass rusher.

 

[TL1961]

Not sure what part of "He does not want to come here" that people don't get/ smfh He would veto it

We would get that if it had been said by him or someone who knew. But to the best of my knowledge, it has not.

That doesn't mean I think the Bears can win the bidding, or should. I am just questioning the assumption that he doesn't because someone presumes he's butthurt.

If he gets a chance to win and gets paid, do you think he'll turn it down?

 

[TL1961]

Would you rather have the Packers success or the Bears over the course of Rodgers career?

Given those two options, I would choose the Packers' record.

But if I were a Packers fan, I would feel the same way as Bears fans felt in the 80's: There should have been more titles.

HELL NO !!!

 

[jtreal3]

2021 1/2rd
2022 1/2rd
Any 2 of these players
Roquan
Hicks
Mack
E Jackson
K Fuller
Goldman
I’m 100% in on this

Mack and Jackson have the most years left in their contract

Fuck...they can have it ALL
At this point, id take a great QB having shoot out's, over having a great D and a shitty incapable QB

It's not just Pace passing him over in 2017, it's a situation with Nagy forcing his offense instead of fitting the offense to the QB. It's playing for a coach and GM that have a decent chance of getting fired next year. There are so many better other situations to go to.

I'll do trade #3 in this but wouldn't do the first two at all.

Chicago Bears land J.J. Watt in one of these blockbuster trades

In order to load up for a Super Bowl run this year, the Chicago Bears could opt for one of these blockbuster deals for J.J. Watt.

The only youth we have on defense is JJ.

Ever heard of R Smith?

 

[remydat]

Interesting take.

"We had a great MLB in the 60's, in the 80's and in the 2000's, so one will automatically be available in 2021!"

Interesting strawman. No one said that. What I said is it is easier for the Bears to find a MLB than it is for them to find a franchise QB. This should be obvious given the history.

 

[remydat]

So if we are able to pull off this type of trade giving up multiple 1sts and 2nds along with Roquan and Johnson, what kind of record do you think the Bears will have next year? I am not concerned with having a losing record as I would expect it as the team around Watson will be thin. I mean, it depends on how we can fill the OL out and if we can keep Robinson to go along with Mooney and if Kmet can break out. On defense though, giving up Roquan and JJ and with Mack and Hicks aging, they could stink next year.

The only reason I am asking this is because I am curious if the Bears having a losing record with Watson next year would cause Pace and Nagy to get fired. I hope it does and the Bears can have a year of rebuild under new regime with Watson.

If Pace has any sense he would probably say to McCaskey that trading for Watson means he needs 2021 to be a year figuring things out given the cap limitations and then 2022 being the year to really compete given they will have 100 million or so without Watson's contract and 65-70 million with it. So if anything getting Watson buys Pace at least another year IMO.

Obviously this reporter from Houston is just regurgitating what the Houston front office told him they want for Watson. But of course they’re going to tell him the steepest price they can. They’re not going to be like “we could possibly get this, but we’ll settle for this.” They’re just giving him their ceiling for demands. it doesn’t really mean much to me. They can demand whatever they want.

Why not just say he needs 5 years? Why would the front office care about Pace pulling some job saving move to gain an extra year? Like they’d ever fall for that. “Well, okay Ryan. If you say you need another year then you got it. Here take 5.”
