NFL 2021 Off-Season

[MRP]

I know Wilson has to waive his no-trade clause in order to go anywhere.

It was a joke ...

In terms of value, trading Watson now garners more than later.

Let's say he sits out the WHOLE season.

Do you really think anybody is going to want to surrender a #1 or even a single #2 pick for somebody that just sat out the season?

Strike while the iron's hot, trade him now.

Reports this afternoon on ESPN that the Texans are refusing to even listen to offers for Watson and that Watson is willing to give up millions to not play for them again, so I don't see a trade happening before the draft or even this off-season. Pride and financial bottom line are more important to Texans' ownership than improving their team, so they won't take the financial hit in dead money to deal him and won't back down from their position to "give in" to Watson even if it means losing an opportunity to get value in return for Watson. It's sad, and it's a pitiful statement about that franchise and it's ownership, but they make Jerry Jones look humble by comparison, so I can't see them backing down.
