The Saga of Deshaun Watson

I understand that.  Did you watch the presser?

Unfortunately, no. Been swamped with work until today, finally just came up to breathe.

Richard Sherman is an exceptionally smart man and the Texans should listen to him.

To be fair, Richard Sherman is also fairly biased. As he loves Saleh, and I imagine by all accounts were the favorite to sign him.

But if for some reason the Texans don't trade Watson before the draft, then who knows what could happen.

If the Jets trade out of #2 and get future early picks, then between the extra picks and Darnold we are leveraged far better than every team in the league by a fairly long shot to make a run at Watson.

Of course if the Texans don't trade him by the draft, they might be committed to playing hard ball

If only all the former Jets can will this into existence that are trying too, that’d be great

At the very least it's nice to have people out there going to bat for us.

Absolutely.  Even if we miss out on Watson, the fact that so many people are referring to the Jets as a favorable destination is a pleasant change of pace.   

This time two years ago, we were already on damage control trying to downplay Crazy Eyes.

The Rams-Lions trade will have nothing to do with a Watson trade if the Texans do it. They'll want 2 ones, 2 twos and 2 young defensive starters, at the least. Watson, 25, under contract, great QB, team leader, beloved by fans, pillar of the community. Start with the Jets.

Just for giggles, if the Jets made this trade what would it entail?

Williams and???  Tagging and trading Maye?

Defensively speaking the only guys that I can see that fit that description are

Quinnen Williams
John Franklin-Myers
Foley Fatukasi
Bryce Hall
Ashtyn Davis

It makes me wonder, if the Texans asking price for Watson includes two young defensive studs, if they would throw in Watt to make the offer more palatable. Especially if asking teams to give up young defensive stars (ie quinnen Williams)

I don't really know what Watts trade value is at considering his contracts near its end, he's older, and has been completely plagued with injuries.

And I guess out of Williams we don't exactly have a ton of top young defensive talent

I mentioned it before but if they wanted us to take Watt's salary in addition to Watson, that should cut somethings OFF the price we have to pay to acquire Watson. We are giving them cap relief, and IMO that might be a worthwhile thing to do if we can retain some extra draft capital.
