Why on earth would the texans want any part of baker? Mills is just as good and way cheaper

I didn't post that meaning baker would be coming to the Texans. Just that it might be a clue that the browns could be the front runners for Watson

Thought I saw somewhere that all the offers on the table included at least 3 FRPs but I might just be hallucinating

Compensation is all over the board.

Interesting to see where Watson lands.

Saints have made a very good push for him.

I am back tracking here a little on Atlanta, seems to be toying with the idea to serious interest. Maybe Watson end ups back in Atlanta.

Saints compensation is legit and has been signed off by Nick.

Will be interesting to see Atlanta's counter.

If Watson wanted to be a Saint, that could happen tomorrow.

I'm trying to figure out how Atlanta makes that happen with Ryan's contract. Maybe they think they can trade him? Atlanta also doesn't have much young talent either, unless they are trading Pitts.

Carolina and Cleveland trade packages have been approved by Nick as well

Local Houston radio folks are worried Watson has the power to force the Texans to trade him to his first choice and then the offers will shrink. That's obviously wrong since the Texans won't set up the meeting unless a team has an acceptable offer. This is a pretty ideal situation and should result in a pretty quick return to contender status if they draft better than they used to.

I think their scenario is killed by the fact that teams have to submit an acceptable offer first. The interesting part would be if Watson comes back and says that he likes 2 teams. At that point we get to see which wants to sweeten the pot.

I think Nick still has the power of saying nevermind which I dont think DW4 side wants to test.

Not sure he has that power now that Watson's new contract is about to kick in and he'll be paid $35MM or whatever number it is to sit on the bench.

I just think things are moving along right now and neither side wants to rock the boat. DW is vetting his options and Nick is not getting too far down the road with a team who can't meet his ask.

I think at this point if DW picks a team and they instantly lower their offer, then Houston submits a case of tampering to the league and gets the NTC removed.

I'm assuming Houston is being very transparent with any interested parties. If acceptable offers were required to get in the door, but they withdraw completely then fine. Perhaps they don't like something about their meeting, which is possible. But if they meet and try to completely change what was offered then that would be problematic. Caserio hasn't done anything noteworthy in free agency, he's not already in a corner, regardless of the new money aspect. None of the other teams involved is in a position to strong arm Caserio due to how conservative he's been.

Yep. There was a report that Deshaun had reached out to the Falcons directly, which means his agent did. I am fairly sure that is against the CBA.

Drop that NTC and it's hello Detroit Lions.

Always thought they make the most sense because the have 2 picks in the top 7 and their quarterback is horrible.

Wow, turn one of those into more picks and still have the ability to potentially select your 2 top targets.

- Jarvis Landry is in for a meeting.
- Bring Julio back after his quick exit in Tennessee.
- Trade for Watson.
- Butts in seats

The Texans have decided to load up on Aggies. Kingsley Kiki signed, now Kyle Allen. With all the trades the Texans end up drafting Kenyon Green, DeMarvin Leal, Isaiah Spiller, Jalen Wydermeyer and even Seth Small. Then signing Von Miller. The Texans may have to move to the Suburbs when NRG lease is up in 10 years. College Station is a suburb sorta.

Caserio needs to find a team with a top 10 pick.

the Saints at #18 should be a non-starter
LincolnBorglum79
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Saints at 18 are ok if they include enough picks and possibly starters. The draft the Texans really want to load up on is
2023 when they could land a QB if Mills isn't good enough. This year is more about volume of 1s and 2s
Which is why I think they trade out of 3 hoping to get another 1 next year. If they have 3 first rounders next year they can get any qb in the draft if they need one.
