The Saga of Deshaun Watson

[bojanglesman]

From @NFLNetwork: What's the price for #Texans QB Deshaun Watson? More than half the league is interested. If Houston decides to trade him, they'll get an epic haul. https://t.co/s5fWmgEINk

Ugh

Ugh

What did you think?

This is arguably the most valuable player that's ever been on a trade block.  He's a 25 year old, proven franchise quarterback.

We just traded an undersized linebacker for two firsts.  Houston will get a haul, most definitely.

I guess it depends on the definition of epic.

It's going to be a bidding war, we always knew that. We are in the best position to outbid anybody. It's all about getting Watson to agree to come here. If he does, he can and should be a Jet.

Sure it would be nice if Watson tells Houston I'll only play for the Jets. Accept their used tampon of an offer, so we can all move on. But that's extremely unlikely to be the case, and always was going to be.

4 first rounders in the next two years and a player like C.J. Mosely?

I'm all in for that deal. Sure it would be nice if it's cheaper, but freak it man, it's Deshaun freaking Watson

I don't think they can pay Groinly without cutting several players.

We should give them whatever they want.

Have to think if the haul is "epic" that the Jets won't be getting too serious in the bidding

[MBGreen]

within reason.  You don't want to cripple the franchise either.

[dcm1602]

I don't see 4 1st round picks getting traded. Let's assume that the Jets are serious and will involve a player in this trade.

What's the most realistic package we can put together?

I imagine Williams is our only player with significant trade value?

Williams #2 a future 1st and whatever we get for Darnold?

[Heismanberg]

within reason.  You don't want to cripple the franchise either.

How does losing some late firsts for a couple years cripple the franchise?

Watson gets this team to the top of just about every free agent's wish list.  Allen Robinson would come with him.  Some great offensive linemen would want to come block for him.

Whatever it takes.  He would be the best player in franchise history as soon as the trade goes through.

when you start talking about offering 4 or 5 first round picks...that's a little much.

Like i told you in our chat, I'm all for trading for Watson...but i also trust Douglas to pay his price.


EDIT:  I also believe the #2 holds a lot more value than your typical future 1st rounder.  That will obviously be the centerpiece of this deal.  What Derek Smalls suggested earlier seems very reasonable.

Who are we drafting with the 28th pick in 2022 or 2023 that is better than a 25 year old proven franchise QB? 

Those picks are not as valuable as Watson.

We're drafting other necessary pieces for this team.

It isn't about being reasonable.  Whatever it takes.

If Miami gets him, the Jets are destined to be a bottom feeder for the next decade.  New England is done, but Buffalo and Miami will kick our asses.  It will take years for us to catch up to them.

Watson changes everything.
