The question is, is Watson willing to sit out and lose all that money. If Im the TEXANS Id call his bluff, and if he does sit out, trade him next off-season.
He won't lose money sitting out. He received a $27 million dollar up front signing bonus in Sept. and $39 million salary for this season. That's $66 million he already received in the last 5 months. So he can afford sitting out if he wants to. Texans shouldn't in no way trade him. Top 5 QB in the league. No way in hell would I trade him. If I was Houston, I'd tell him no way are we trading you. Sit out the season. You don't trade a top 5 QB in the league.
@@neilouellette3004 nope for every practice he misses he is fiened 50k and for every game he misses he has to give back 1/17 of his singing bonus up to 21 Million( if he retires) and he is not gonna play for anyone else so no new money
Or he could just play through practice by intentionally putting every throw in the dirt. The Texans won't pay a qb top billing who doesn't give them a chance to win.
DW hasn't seemed to be like this ever. Will we ever find out exactly what it was that crossed the line? Had to be something huge to make him say GFY I'm out.
its his agent telling him what to do the Players first agency they allways do it like this they think by controlling the Media and whats out there they can force a decision
I think it was just the final straw being under o brien who blew their playoff run against the chiefs getting sacked 60 times hopkins being traded then being lied to about the gm/HC hiring
All the "rumblings" suggest it's a deep rooted front office/ownership issue that all the players feel. It seems like it's all McNair and Easterby. I feel like we'll get specifics if/when he's traded. I'm really curious what happened too because it's gotta be really bad.
The final straw seems to be when he was told he’d be a part of the process for finding a new coach and GM and then was left out completely and heard of the hiring through the media.
Hope my 49ers make a push hard for Watson we habe the worse QB room in the west now kyle and lynch nees to do what it takes 5 first rounders if that's what it takes
Go sign Andy Dalton or Fitz and roll. If Watson comes back "Great" if not then let him sit for as long as it takes. He just signed an extension. He is under contract for 4 years. I would love to have him play but he can retire or play for the Houston Texans.
Joe Douglass is gonna get the job done... Houston need the jets more than any other team.. right now... st Patrick’s day Watson will be a jet... if not back at Houston...
@@masonmcconnell9375 I can understand his anger with the Texans, but I also feel that he should honour his contract. That said, look at Goff and the Rams, they didn't exactly honour their side of things. I think Watson is a great QB, but I have my doubts that he is a franchise changing talent. He will need a lot of pieces and getting the money he is doesn't leave much for surrounding him with enough talent to win a Superbowl. This is just my opinion of course, but it is as good as anyone else's.
@@calibrazxr750 I see what your saying for sure if he went to the 49ers imo the best place for him he will have all the talent in the world from coaching to players and if he cant win with that then he ain't that talented
@@masonmcconnell9375 it might work out, but I don't know if he fits Shanahan's scheme. Although, he could always create a scheme for Watson. How much would the 49ers have to give up and how will it affect their cap numbers though?
Watson is being a little baby. He signed the long term contract recently, you can't just force a trade because things aren't going as you want it to. Should have left after seeing Hopkins sent packing, but he still signed. At least play a couple years of your contract before whining
Whatever. If the team has made moves after you sign the contract that you feel could inhibit you from advancing I see no reason not to get out of there. This is America buddy. Not Russia or China. It’s not illegal to have a change of opinion about your employer. I hope he gets outta Houston so all communists that think he’s bound like a slave can stfu
Texans already gave him his new contract upfront signing bonus of $27 million in Sept. Also his $39 million a yr salary, that's $66 million Watson just took you for in 5 months! I'd be pissed if I was Houston. No way would I trade a top 5 QB in the league. You just don't trade a top 5 QB. Let him sit out. The longer this drags out, Watsons own value and teams wanting him disappears quickly. Let him sit out. It's a rebuilding season anyways. With or without Watson, Houston's not making playoffs next season. I'd call Watsons bluff if I was Houston and wouldn't worry if he didn't show up. You don't trade a top league QB. No way.
If you don’t wanna have to trade your star QB then maybe don’t trade away his WR1 for pennies and then promise him to involve him into the search for a new GM/HC only to break that promise afterwards
Dummy his next team will pay him. Not the Texans. Any team that has Deshaun would pay him. The Texans didn’t do anything special. Who tf wouldn’t pay him, idiot
The fact that Watson blew this whole situation up in the public is disgraceful. Watson’s behavior is the opposite of a true leader and QB like Tom Brady. All team leaders have issues that pop up and it’s how you handle the situation that makes or breaks you as a leader. This is also why Watson will never lead a team to SuperBowl glory. Some players may like this egotistical power play but many others never will. This whole public tantrum will ultimately blow up in Watson’s face as he continues to show flashes of greatness as he watches the playoffs from his couch. I can only hope The Texans flourish from whatever they gain from the Watson trade.
Real clown behavior from you. Have you seen how dysfunctional the Texans have been the last 3 years, and out of touch since it’s inception? If he doesn’t want to waste his career like Andre Johnson or JJ Watt, I can’t blame him. Saying this as a Texans fan who hopes to keep him. But ownership needs to sell the team.
Never lead a team to a Superbowl? Because of THIS? This is a troll right? John Elway and Eli Manning did the same things as undrafted rookies who never played a single snap in the NFL. It was public, it was ugly, and you know what? They were right, those organizations were trash, and it worked. They now have 2 rings each, with Elway having gone to 3 more. Both the Colts and Chargers moved after those drafts. The Colts left in the dead of night and their best QB post 1983 was arguably Jim Harbaugh until Peyton Manning finally came along. Many in Baltimore still hate the Colts, despite the Ravens being just as successful post 1996. The Chargers went to a soccer stadium that seats 30,000. Which they couldn't fill, DESPITE GOING 9-7 in their first year there, and then going 12-4 and winning a playoff game in their second. The Spanos thought a good way to compete with the Rams for the LA market was to charge 160 dollars for parking in this little stadium. Surprise surprise, Rivers got screwed over. And now has no rings after playing in a AFC championship game with no ACL. Because he was the "nice guy" and went along with it. Between the Texans letting the coach be a GM because they didn't want to hire one, firing their award winning PR director right before a coach/GM search and now this? Andre Johnson came out of the woodwork to agree with Watson for a reason. Wouldn't be surprised if this ownership runs the Texans into the ground just like the Colts and Chargers, and have to either sell or move. Regardless of what you think Watson has proven he can at least play at the NFL level and I think he can absolutely lead a team to the Super Bowl as soon as he leaves this dumpster fire. Just because you think Watson is acting like a brat, and certain "team leaders" act like brats don't make them any less correct.
@@absolutelyrandomful and yes, never going to the SuperBowl because he doesn’t have the internal fortitude to lead a team. For every player that likes the egocentric power grab where it’s all about him, there are 2 others that are disgusted by it. What’s worse is that they can’t speak up so the resentment will just fester and grow. Time will tell but I’m quite certain Watson will go nowhere fast whatever team he plays for. Will go down as a bust in history.
@@jonathansmith4742 you new age gay people are something else. Hate just to hate. Deshaun should get outta that dysfunctional team. Who cares about your hurt butt

@@neilouellette3004 Dude do you even read what you write? every nfl team will punish you hard for sitting out whe you are able to play.

Peer pressure

I think the texans should be more up front this is the way it got to this point
"How can the market for Deashaun Waatson dry up?"
The same way it did for Clowney last year.
Clowney isn't Watson
Clpwny head case. Watson is legit
That's apples and oranges dude!
Delusional Jets fan Rich Eisen keeps thinking Watson to NY lol, but as a Delusional Bears fan I know he is going to Chicago.
🤣🤣🤣
Omg fuk u lol i have hopes
Hope my 49ers make a push hard for Watson we habe the worse QB room in the west now kyle and lynch nees to do what it takes 5 first rounders if that's what it takes
Philly sends Wentz to Houston
Houston sends Watson to Chicago
Chicago sends Foles to Philly and draft picks to Houston
Go sign Andy Dalton or Fitz and roll. If Watson comes back "Great" if not then let him sit for as long as it takes. He just signed an extension. He is under contract for 4 years. I would love to have him play but he can retire or play for the Houston Texans.
NO WAY, NO HOW!!
This is very true. Teams can't sit around for deshaun. They have to plan for the draft and free agency and ultimately make their QB decision.
If I'm the 49ers I'd trade every pick in this draft
Hold Watson until you get offered the largest trade package of draft picks in NFL history. However long that takes, somebody will roll the dice.
He’s 28-25 in the regular season. I don’t get the hype.
It’s almost like team statistics do not dictate an individual players talent. Trent Dilfer won a damn super bowl, man.
Nope. Sit his rear end. Fine him. Or make him retire. 👍🏻
Spoken like a true communist
The Dolphins will build around Tua
Joe Douglass is gonna get the job done... Houston need the jets more than any other team.. right now... st Patrick’s day Watson will be a jet... if not back at Houston...
Let me guess, they should trade him now and to the Jets.
I know the jets got a decent coach and staff but Idk why Watson wpuld want to play there I feel like SF would be the best spot for him

Why
The coach was great. The culture of pro sports is truly changing and most likely for worse.
What's everyone's fascination with Watson? He's a .500 QB so far...Mahomes (similar age) has chance to win back-to-back SBs...
I don’t think that is fair. Watson has had no line help. It’s a team game.
