Here’s the 1 thing that will impact this situation with Watson more than anything else- his willingness to sit and lose money. I think he’s a very principled dude and he would be willing to do that. This is how he gains leverage. Threat of financial loss doesn’t bother him.
This is why i think JD should low ball Caserio first. Don't offer the farm right away, like some are suggesting here.
That's the thing - the Texans still don't have to trade him. But if Watson threatens to sit out, the Texans will have their hand forced, and draft picks in 2021 are far better than draft picks in 2022, so they might not be willing to call his bluff.
I think my opening offer would be the #2 pick this year, a 3rd-rounder this year, our 1st-rounder next year, and a conditional 3rd-rounder next year that becomes a 2nd-round pick if we make the playoffs. That's a serious offer, but it gives us room to add more if necessary.
