PFT: Watson seeking trade rumors?

[RiDLer80]

He may be unhappy but I cannot see Houston trading him. They'd be stupid to trade a franchise QB. I'm sure they'll work it out and he's playing for Houston this season.

As I’ve often said, if the Bears were dead-set on solving their life-long QB problem, they could do it tomorrow.

Pace could pick up the phone and simply give the Texans (or whatever team) an offer they can’t refuse, a Mahomes-like or Mack-like haul.

But is there a willing partner? And is Pace willing to give up what it’ll take? Those are the only relevant questions.

Watson does have a no trade clause he can leverage though.

Not saying its likely at all but if he does say he wants to go to the Bears those other teams having more assets won't mattter

if I were watson, I wouldn't consider chicago the worst spot. But I am a bears fan so maybe I am biased.

You would probably have to give Roquan, and mutliple first rounders.

I wouldn't be surprised--Bill o'brien has completely buttfucked that roster for the next few years. They may need to make a major move just to begin to get back to relevancy. They have a shit roster, no cap space and no draft picks.

Also if Watson is dead set on leaving and disgruntled why would they want to keep him as the face of the franchise. Hes already on social media would get a lot worse.

As mad as Watson might be, he has almost no leverage in this situation due to him signing a new contract. There's no threat on the table to walk away in free agency, and sitting out just because you're unhappy would only make him look like an ass.

Unless HOU has a hankering to do a full rebuild, I don't see an angle for Watson to get out of his situation. I think they'll try to appease him by working with him on the new coach and eventually work things out.

He definitely has no leverage. I think you are right and he doesn't get traded. But if he was available, bears better go all in and not sit it out because they dont want to admit they made a mistake.

Denver - high draft pick, cap space
Det - high draft pick, cap space
Mia- multiple picks and a high draft pick and Tua could be packaged. Also a lot of cap space
NYG - draft picks
NYJ - draft picks, cap space

A lot of possibilities. Bears have nowhere near the money or draft capital to trade for him

Patriots too.

View attachment 9510This? No thank you. I’d prefer another 3 decades of incompetent qb play. Thanks.

Does Pace have a twitter or IG account?

I mean, depends on how serious about it he is.

If he 100% doesn't ever want to play for the texans, he has leverage. If he's willing to sit out the year, he has leverage.

I 100% doubt he's to that level.

The texans would for sure prefer to get something for him than have him sit out a year and suck anyways. They could be in position to take the best QB in the draft next year and still have another teams first rounder(Which if its the bears could be a top 15 pick easily).

Thanks. He needs to know how we feel

He isn't returning the owner's calls

Didn't Watson look worse than Mitch on a worse team when they played a few weeks ago?
He's certainly not going to look any better actually on the Bears.

 

[Karensman]

Trick question since Nagy has yet to “coach up” a damn single player. Regression more likely

When I read this I spit out my drink ! Unfortunately way too true.

This is an interesting question, I have only seen a few games of his and everything I have seen of him he reminds me of Stafford. Where he plays pretty ineffective for most of the game and then ramps up his stats when the game is out of hand. Again I have only seen a few games so for those that have watched a lot of his games does he just pad his stats like Stafford does or did I just catch a few off games of his?

For the record even if he is "padding his stats" like Stafford does I think that is a huge upgrade over Mitch, its just how much I would be happy with giving up to get him.
