I have a raging boner seeing that image. Full disclosure, those types of pictures usually don’t do it for me. 😉😂

He’s a top 5 QB right now and is only 25... he’s going to be great for 10 more years.

Heinicke will want some bling if Watson wants that number.

He's a FA any right?

Just laughing at the photo and the number.

You mean a prima donna because the organisation told him they'd consider his opinion in making appointments, then immediately hired a GM without at least speaking to him? That's not a prima donna that's a justifiably upset member of the organisation. I'm not sure about allowing your QB into such discussions, but ultimately if you tell a member of staff you want his voice in a conversation then have the conversation without inviting him, I suspect any one of us in that staff members shoes would be upset about it.

What else has he said or done to indicate he's a prima donna?

Well to be fair, That is Watson’s story. I don’t think anyone in the organization said he was promised anything. He could just be using social media to play the victim card because he wants out. Hard to know for sure. I haven’t really been following it closely.

Look around the NFC

AROD - OLD
BREES - RETIRING
BRADY - OLD
WILSON - GREAT BUT IN HIS EARLY 30'S NOW
DAK - VERY GOOD BUT HAD A HORRIFIC LEG INJURY
MATT RYAN - OLD

If we landed Deshaun Watson with this young defense that is only getting better, we could be a force in the NFC for a good 4-5 years

Watson may be available. The question is whether the team will go “all in” with a monster trade package to get him. The bidding will be high, but it’s similar to Brees coming to New Orleans. He propels your team to the top for the rest of his career. He’s worth WHATEVER the cost.

First, except for Stafford, I do not think the WFT will go for ANY QB over 30. Rivera is trying to set his QB for the next 5 years, not finding some old guy with a season or two left (that means Alex Smith is out also).

Resigning Heinicke is important. He’s a GREAT #2 and he can compete for the #1 if the QB the WFT picks is not ready for prime time.

Alex Smith is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE as a backup. He may opt in for “one more season” but the Bucs showed how to beat him - blitz him early and often, forcing him to beat you with his feet - which will be better next season, but NOT to the level needed in the NFL today. You need a QB who can run 40-70 yds a game and Smith doesn’t have that anymore.

Allen is also not the future.

The new GM and Rivera may simply draft the best QB left at #19 and let him compete with Taylor Heinickle.

Other draft picks will be OL, WR, TE with FA going toward a monster WR to compliment MacLaurin, LB ( maybe more than one), OL.

As much as I want to trade for Watson I think the realistic feasibility of it is non-existent. Media is reporting that multiple teams have been calling the Texans to inquire about his availability even though no one in the Texans organization have publicly stated he’s available for trade. With the #19 pick and no young QB to offer in a trade scenario, we just aren’t going to have the same trade capital to compete with other teams unless we mortgage the distant future (and that’s not going to happen). We will wind up getting a mid tier FA veteran QB for a modest price tag (just like Ron’s M.O. was this past off season).

Don’t forget RR took a swing for the fence trying to sign Amari Cooper. So much for his MO in the past off season... I’m thinking that a blockbuster deal for a feature QB with at least 5 years of prime time left is not automatically off the table.

That was a FA signing, not a trade, and we had the cap to do it. We were not faced with giving up a large part of our draft to sign Cooper.

I'm also inclined to think part of why RR did that was to pressure the Cowboys to offer him a bigger deal than they wanted to.

[SunnySide]

23M .. is reportedly what we offered in guaranteed money vs cowboys 60M guaranteed money.

If true .. we never really tried to sign Cooper.

RG3 is available again.

Hmm, nah.
