I could see the Jets trading Darnold, their 2 first round picks in 2021 and their first pick in 2022 for Watson if the Texans are really serious about trading Watson. Hopefully the Dolphins wouldn’t try to outbid the Jets because it would probably cost them Tua plus 3 first round picks and likely 2 second round picks. The Dolphins have too many holes on their roster to be trading away a lot of high picks for Watson.
Besides the offer of millions of dollars to play QB for the Texans, exactly what else was he promised? Obviously you have some insight into the contract negotiations between Watson and the Texans that the rest of us aren’t aware of.
They would never trade him within the division
I agree 95%...
I don’t think he is crying he’s expressing his frustration. Remember the comment “we can’t have inmates running a prison. When you feel comfortable to make a comment like that it shows you’re not socially conscious on issues that negatively impact the players on the team. This is not just about football, what the Texans did was essentially make a mockery of the Rooney rule, interview minority candidate for optics but all along they knew who they wanted. As a result they created a trust issue and if you’re in a relationship and you can’t trust your partner it normally leads to a divorce.
Watson has to wave the no trade clause, now with Salah being hired it definitely is more of a possibility than prior to his hiring. However, if Houston does decide to trade Watson he's definitely going to have a factor into where he goes and to what value they get for him. So Houston may have to take less from Miami than what they are offered from another team, because Watson will have to approve of the team he's being traded to. Just another way at looking at it, but you are definitely not wrong with considering the Jets as possible players for Watson if Houston does look to move them, especially now that they're hired Salah.
I don’t have any idea what is so miserable about a team which was 10-6 in their second year of a rebuilding process. The Dolphins have a very good chance of adding several starters with their 4 picks in the top 50 and I think Tua is going to be an excellent QB in the NFL. The reality is Watson and the Texans were 4-12 in 2020 and so there is no assurance that Watson would make the Dolphins a better team.
I feel bad for Tua he didn’t play for a year, he didn’t have an off-season, and no training camp. All people are going to remember is Herbert playing well, how the offense struggled with Tua and on 2 occasions he was pulled for FitzPatrick. We as a fanbase have waited for too long, we were supposed to be the next team up, now that NE is no longer competitive but instead it’s the Buffalo Bills.
Yea 3 firsts, 3 seconds and a pro bowl player say stay far away from this nonsense.
