Thread: Watson apparently not happy.

Maybe Miami is just another dumb ass organization when it comes to ha doing quarterbacks and has nothing to go do with Tua per day…… I mean after all they did just give away a top 10ish quarterback in Ryan!

The Broncos have Lock and Patrick to dangle rather than picks - so two firsts and a second plus Lock and Patrick for Watson which, if he's suspended changes to a second plus Lock and Patrick. Daring, yes, but you can have a franchise quarterback for two guys they've basically admitted they don't need plus a second rounder which then adds two first-rounders if Watson gets no suspension or jail time. If you think Teddy is not a franchise QB, this is a fairly low-risk deal. Best case scenario is the Broncs make that deal, Watson has to sit for a year but then makes his Denver debut in 2022, possibly when Von goes off the books.

Your other option is to keep your picks and draft yet another high-round "savior" that flops on the field.

I don’t think there’s any chance Watson is suspended for an entire year though. Did Big Ben get a year suspension?

The Texans aren't the Steelers. One thing that's unquestionably true about the NFL is that some teams get preferential treatment. Look at how many times the Ravens and Patriots got games changed for COVID last year but when the Broncos had no quarterbacks available due to COVID policies? Sorry, gotta play the game with no quarterback. No way in hell the league treats the Steelers or Patriots that way.

The Big Ben thing also happened in a different era in society. Sexual assault is taken way more seriously now and it wouldn't shock me at all to see a year long suspension.

It would be nice if it could be resolved sooner than later.

We are out on Watson because of the legal stuff. If it went away I think we would be back. It just kills me knowing there is a top 5 pro bowl QB in his prime available for us to pluck and be SB contenders for a long time and we cant/wont. I feel like Kyle Orton right now.

Ray Rice got a year long suspension for knocking his fiance out. I wouldnt be surprised if the penalty on Watson is equally as tough.

If only he would have just kept his plucker to himself...….

Eagles will get DW, imo, they have three #1 picks in the ‘22 draft (if Wentz meets playing time thresholds).

Paton was probably looking to trade a 6th round pick him Even before the allegations came out.

Weird, I was told this would be settled by now and all gone away. Guess buff will have to wait a little longer to dance on my grave.

Buy low!

I wonder what they have come down to? Two 1sts and a 2nd? I'd make that trade for sure. Miami will probably land him with Tua hurt. I would love to take Tua off their hands for Lock and Patrick

For Lock and Patrick you probably do that, but I'm not really terribly interested in Tua.

I hear ya. Hold the ball too long, injured often...However, his college pedigree makes him worth a flier and a team that doesnt suck ass. If I could get him without coughing up a lot, he is def worth a flier. I like him waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than guys like Darnold for example so it would be a good get imo.
