It’s amazing what some no names post to get clicks, I guess instead of studying pro days, reviewing online videos of players in actions, pundits must take bribes to float BS for the massaging of the process, Did you watch the Kevin Costner Draft Day film.

A well known Texan reporter is claiming 6 teams still interested in getting D Watson .
Really.

I think Im happy to let our GM run his draft get us players that may not be in the spotlight of allegations for the foreseeable future.
Nice try Texans I feel this is clearly a deception to create a market with fan pressure.

Texans lose again.

I never felt trading the farm for one player is smart, I do appreciate Watsons skills , but he seems to have a pile of baggage that’s only getting bigger.

Thankfully our Gm did not pull that trigger that so many dreamed up Herschel Walker scenarios to try and acquire Watson.

Thank You Miami Managment

Let’s see. The MD dropped Isaiah Wilson like a hot potato for immaturity issues, but they’re really interested in D Watson who has a harem of women sueing him for sexual assault. Right 👌

Yes. You would have to be a dolt to not realize why. Watson brings talent and wins. Wilson does not.
 
I am off the trade for Watson bandwagon. In this era you better not touch this guy with a 10 foot pole. I am sorry but where there is smoke there is fire. Who knows where this leads? Obviously they will want a trade before the draft when there will be no resolution.

Time to put this in the rear view, get this kid the weapons he was promised and roll on.

I was never on that bandwagon. Everyone says he’s elite with all these fancy stats, but I see he has taken Houston nowhere. 2018 he lead them to one and done vs the colts in the playoffs with only 7 points. And then two years ago they came back on Buffalo only to blow a 24-0 lead to Kansas City.

Never wanted the trade

Whether he did it or not he likely did something - or he wouldn’t have lawyered up the way he did - The world is dark if he got trapped he is a Mark - lots of pro athletes become Marks - why take in his long term problems
 
One of Tua's strengths is his citizenship. Rumors like this simply wouldn't stick against Tua. Ross has been through the dysfunction stage with the Jonathan Martin fiasco. I doubt he's trading back into that situation. He doesn't know football, but he knows PC.

That said, I'm confident that Grier is still evaluating it. Grier researched it and had no trouble drafting Tunsil, and his MO allowed him to take on Isaiah Wilson--albeit with a short tolerance. Grier is fast making the Dolphins the old Bengals ... soft landing for bad characters. Gonna be interesting to see whether Ross imposes his will or lets Grier impose his.

The difference being Tunsil just cost us the 13 pick and Wilson didn't really cost anything. watson would cost a bunch of high picks plus a huge part of our cap. No thank you.

Obviously.

The point is that Grier is much less risk-averse than Ross. Ultimately, that's going to determine whether we make an offer at all ... or whether we withdraw any potential offer we've already made. How Ross handles this one is what matters.

Attorney Tony Buzbee said last week that he was representing at least a dozen women who allege sexual misconduct against the Houston quarterback. There are now nine lawsuits against Watson for allegedly inappropriate behavior during massage sessions over the past year. NBC Sports' Peter King reported Monday the NFL could place Watson on the Commissioner’s Exempt List if Buzbee files any criminal charges against him, meaning Watson would miss at least some of the 2021 season if the legal matters stretch into September. For now, the suits are of the civil variety. Watson's escape plan from Houston has become exceedingly complex.

I think it's a little bit of a balancing act when it comes to character and talent. Those 70's Raiders teams come to mind.

But with the face of your franchise, all the allegations against Watson would be hard to overcome.

I hope Miami sticks with Tua and significantly improves the talent around him.

Yeah, when it was about 3, he announced it would eventually be 6 ... then 9, now 12 ... seems they are coming out of the woodwork. I'm a proponent that usually where there's smoke there's fire ... and well ... that's a lot of smoke. Definitely scared me off a long time ago. Still, not sure I have a great read on Buzbee's role in this. Seems more like a hired gun than a vigilante attorney to me. I wonder how he originally became involved? Tipped off from disgrunteld Texans ownership who disliked being labelled dysfunctional? Tipped off by an upset reporter? Solicited by an orginal victim/claimant (which is obviously the story Buzbee will tell)?

Still, hard for a team like the Dolphins to gamble on the person now, despite the player being a fantastic talent.

Gotta admit, this does feel like a scorched earth policy ... or as some refer to it, mutually assured destruction.
