I have mentioned several times that X offers the best trade scenario. Yes, the above posters take on gilmour rings true on most accounts, but, a couple of things: watson holds ALL the cards with a no trade contract. He can put his foot down and say i will not play this year so you wont have me or trade bounty anyhow. Second, as of right now, tua is a nobody can easily be a bust. Texans cant afford that happening. X is a sure fire, top of the nfl player. X would be their preferred player. Using X in the trade gives us these things....
KEEPS US OUT of a potential obnoxious and lengthy holdout from X and his new cut throat agent.
MIAMI CAN absorb watson's contract better with X's salary gone.
THE TEXANS can afford X's 20 mil+ demands with watsons salary gone.
WE CAN TRADE TUA and get some of the pics we gave up for watson back.
Tua being the player catalyst in a watson trade would cost us a LOT more pics. You have to give a lot to get a lot and i am down, but only to a certain point. X offers us a much better trade investment. We don't give up as many draft pics with X as we would have to with tua, providing the texans even want tua. I think they take X over Tua all day at this point.
