FalconsIn2012 28,601 Posted March 27 I’ve been hearing rumors of a possible Watson trade. If he really is being shopped, I would take a look if I were TD. Would you guys consider this or would you prefer to finish the drill with Ryan & Julio? Just don’t let him end up with Patriots or Saints https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/deshaun-watson-trade-rumors-heres-what-a-hypothetical-texans-patriots-deal-could-look-like/amp/ Deshaun Watson trade rumors: Here's what a hypothetical Texans-Patriots deal could look like © Troy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsWhat does the future hold for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (4)? There have been rumors around the NFL water cooler that Houston Texans star quarterback Deshaun Watson is not happy about the direction of the organization. Bill O’Brien’s decision to trade All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for pennies on the dollar just recently underscores this. Watson, of the Texans, has already been rumored to be interested in the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback position after future Hall of Fame gunslinger Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Watson was noticed “liking” a tweet linking him to New England on Monday as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwifalcon 17,859 Posted March 27 Would he fit with DK is more of thee answer. I think he’d be great in an RPO quick strike offense not sure if he’s a drop back wait 3-5 secs and throw type guy. Or stick him with a OC like KS Peterson Andy Reid or alike he’d thrive. 1 Chitown2ATL_Falcon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla1985 5,721 Posted March 27 I'd be very tempted. Screw Kookie Koetter. I don't want our future to hinge on that clown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FalconFanSince1969 12,185 Posted March 27 So how do we get around the 50+ mil in dead cap it would take to get rid of Ryan? 10 Rings, Skeetbird, papachaz and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you trade a player you trade their salary. You are still responsible for their guaranteed money and bonus. Even if there was a scenario where another team takes on all of it, we're talking about trading with a team that is clearly in full tank mode trying to save money. They admitted to such as a reason why they traded Hopkins. Edited March 27 by dirtybirds233 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness, dead money is tradable. Both sides would need to agree to the terms, but it's possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonOfThemBirds 15,061 Posted March 27 Texans would probably want 3 1st, and Julio or Ridley. .....but Bill O'Brien is also their GM so he would probably just accept a 3rd, 7th, and Russell Gage lol 15 Charles Wright, MoFalconsFan56, Faithful Falcon and 12 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconofShadows 903 Posted March 27 I would not trade for him but I am confident he will be a Patriot because I'm cursed to deal with that team living up here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, Houston will fire the coach before they trade the franchise QB. There would be rioting in the streets and fans would burn the stadium down. All that, plus BB would never trade the farm for one player. 3 1989Fan, Ovie_Lover and HASHBROWN3 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimeBomb 95 Posted March 27 1 hour ago, KamiKazee27 said: Ryan is a better QB and gives us a better chance of winning right now. I'm not so sure of that. Watson was QBR 7 last year Ryan was QBR 14. I'm fine rolling with Ryan and some white fans might not like to hear this but if we had Watson the Benz would be rocking. Maybe not Vick level but he is a hometown kid. If they wanted Ryan for Watson straight up I'd pull the trigger. Won't happen though. He'll be a Patriot because why not. 4 Charles Wright, CaliFalcons, Faithful Falcon and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
