Houston cut their center to save some money.  Great idea.

Is he any good?

62 of 64 possible starts is pretty impressive.  Sounds like he's a pretty average player. 

Never the best idea to create holes just for the sake of change, but that appears to be Easterby/Caserio's strategy so far...

Who is the best player below Watson that they can alienate and ship out next?

IDGAF Watson is my fav.

[Coach K]

I now agree with Bart Scott

theyre literally severing anyone whos of service or functional relationship to Watson as the QB of that team, and the face of the franchise.


even if hes not a Jet, i just dont want him in our division. I do want to see him get out just because this is the most bizarre and shitty ownership and management ive seen in a while.

and were Jets fans, so that should speak volumes .

More importantly there's a fairly good chance that covid restrictions are still in place, and the opt out for players.

That woukd be a serious weapon for Watson. He can sit out "legally". And there's been talk that if the NFL doesn't offer opt outs Watson could potentially make a legal argument that he should be able to

In otherwords this could get ugly and he's got some legit leverage

John McClain from the Houston Chronicle was just on NFL Now basically saying Caserio would be out of his mind if he let's this drag on with Watson.

There's a difference between "I'm not happy and will hold out", and "I refuse to play for you no matter what".  If you know for a fact he won't play, what advantage is it to let him collect dust for a year?

Once Watson starts to throw gas on the fire publicly, Houston will have no choice.

I guess it depends whether you believe that you can change his mind, or that you have the ability to outlast him.

Everyone is currently trying to apply logic to predict what the Texans will do, but they have already demonstrated that they are running their franchise based in part upon a 2000 year old story about a sky fairy. Logic and faith are often not natural bedfellows; in fact scripture teaches that the adherence to doing what you believe to be right in the face of apparently insurmountable odds is the path to heaven.

I think that this whole business with Easterby is increasingly becoming an unprecedented (to my knowledge) situation. I don't really know what they're going to do, but I suspect it won't be the thing that we would do.

I'm confident Watson won't change his mind.  They've let go of coaches he was comfortable with,  they've moved on from some of their core players (Nuk, Watt, Fuller won't be tagged), the recent front office gymnastics...etc etc.  He's done there. 

Houston "digging in" on a player that wants to leave is retarded.  Get the best deal you can asap.
