I bet Deshaun would love throwing to Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle.  Shocked

Just sayin'...

Tough division and they don't have the capital to make a trade work. Plus, they are very close to the cap and have important free agents coming up. Cutting Jimmy G like I totally recommended awhile ago may not be enough.

Rivers just retired so the Colts need a QB but trading within the division is unlikely.

Just as long as he doesn't go to the Patriots.  I'm sick to my stomach just thinking about that.

They don't have the capital to trade for him, very few teams can even come close without gutting their roster or future.

If we are just talking about teams that can pay a lot for him and not crush their future drafts, it's pretty much just us. That no trade of his changes it all, they can't dump him off to the Jets or Jaguars now. Still seems crazy he could be traded but if Watson wants to force the issue and tell them he will sit out the maximum number of games allowed and still have it count as a contract year, then they are in a very tough spot. Let's see if ownership can stop fucking up and make nice with him. All they had to do was not lie to him about the GM and Coaching searches.

I know, I was just thinking out loud about how horrific it would be.  Because you know if they had the capital, etc. they would be making a major effort.

I still think that at the end of all of this, Watson will be in a Dolphins uniform and we will draft a left tackle that will be a cornerstone of this offensive line for at least a decade.

That would be amazing, it all comes down to Watson really. Will he play the villain and threaten to sit out half the season and force the Texans to trade him to his desired team? If so, Tua plus 18 and 36 will get it done since that would be the only offer on the table. If not, they will work it out or Watson will just take the field and do his best on a 5 win team for the next few years.

Hard to make predictions when you have emotions(Watson) and stupidity(Texans) so prominently involved.

I don't get MIA games here and can only watch highlights.  That being said, I'm shocked you put any stock in a benched player cheering successful plays from his team.  That shows that Tua isn't a dick, but doesn't tell you anything about his development on the field.  What we can see there is that he has played very conservatively, and that he has repeatedly been pulled from still-winnable games when aggressive play is called for.

I bring this up because you repeatedly infer that Tua's psyche is going to be harmed because he is pulled from a game.  His actions and Coach Flores' statements clearly support that Tua is the starter, and Tua is not worried, so I disagree with you that pulling him from games is hurting his development.

As for his development I'm more concerned with getting a permanent OC, and other position coaches.

John McClain, who is in his 45th year at the Houston Chronicle and his 44th covering the National Football League, including the Oilers and Texans was on Hoch and Crowder this afternoon. He all but guaranteed Watson wouldn't be traded and said ESPN reports are over blown. Said Watson never said he wanted anything to do with GM pick and only mentioned wanting to be a part of the coaching search.

Funniest thing was Hoch jokingly told him he wasn't letting up on the Watson to Miami story and McClain responded by saying something along the lines of "I understand ... you've got to get those clicks". hahahaha

If the reports are overblown then why hasn't Watson or the team come out and say these are all nonsense reports and he isn't going anywhere?

He didn't say. He did discuss this topic in a podcast that you can check out if you like. I think he also said he'd be writing an article soon as well.

BTW ... the Miami Dolphins posted "Ohana" today which means "Family" in Hawaiian. It sure seems like the they are trying to reiterate Tua is their QB.

They are wise to do this but they are discussing Watson and if they land him then it's Aloha Tua.

Nothing surprises me, but you would think that there are enough QB desperate teams out there that at least one of them would outbid whatever the Dolphins put together in a trade offer for Watson.  But who knows.

I'm sure there would be but the No Trade Clause makes that irrelevant. Watson would never go to the Jets, let alone a Jets team that just gave up 5 first rounders for him.

Good point.  I forgot about his No Trade Clause.
