Watson loves the hire of Saleh and spends a lot of time there. They are definitely on the list.
Sure it is crazy but why in the hell do you invit him to dinner to discuss and then say, “nah, we don’t need your opinion even though we asked for it”. Both sides sre wrong here and have faults but the Texans would be very stupid letting him sit and his value dropping dramatically. They have proved to be an awful franchise but no way they will be stupid enough to do that. Businessman should not let feelings get in the way of a business move that could slingshot your rebuild in a big way from all that you can get from a Watson trade. Watson doesn’t want to be there and it is too late to fix it. Move on
At NY tax rate it would cost Watson almost 14 million in additional taxes on his 156 million contract if he gets traded to NY. Fans always think huge sums of money mean nothing to athletes cause their "rich". History shows that they certainly do care. I'd bet his agent would explain how he's paying 14 million just to play on the Jets and that would get nixed.
Hue Jackson would like to have a word
Shhhhhhhhhhh......they think Mayfield is a franchise QB.....
Most players of note have guarantees in their contract that the team has to pay to drop a player that isn't performing up to his contract and it's truly amazing how often performance drops once a player hits the jackpot. Once you got the money to do things you only dreamed about, your going to do them. Exotic vacations, travel in rented jets, women hitting on you all the time, get hit by all the leaches who want a piece of your money, all the charities who tell you that a donation to their cause would be awesome, taking care of family members you care about, fending off family members you don't want to take care of.
Right I get all that. I just find it hilarious that the players get a lot of backlash for requesting a trade or release or whatever. But when the front office releases a player at the drop of a hat all I hear is crickets. IMO you can’t have it both ways.
haha...to be fair I have to go with Freddie. He had far more talent to work with.
Well that is true and not true. If what has been alleged and Cal McNair told him he would have input into the new hiring process then he was shut out I can certainly understand Watsons feeling betrayed by what the Owner told him. Bottom line on that is you never ever insinuate anything along those lines Unless you mean it. Because other than a Coach you would like to play for most QB’s are not Qualified to even think about looking at the GM hiring. The Texans spent close to 300 thousand on a GM search with a hiring firm and then went and hired someone not even on the consideration list they paid for. WTH?
Fans just want their team to have success so I totally understand why this happens.
Oh yea for sure I get why it happens, I just have a good chuckle and think of the hypocrisy.
The other side of the coin is a lot of players that are not cut, aren't playing up to their contract. Don't think any of them offered to give the money back.
For the record I don’t get mad or complain when either a player wants out or the team cuts them obviously it’s part of a business. I just think it’s funny that people get mad at one but not the other.
Well Watson wants out because the Texans suck at football.
Yea I don’t disagree with you
