What happens if watson wins

If they tell him to serve hot dogs during the game…he better do it. Not going to happen. The Texans are going to have to pay someone to take him, just like they did with Osweiler. Nothing he says can force them to play him. Oh, so Watson determines if he gets to play or not? Trade partners have lots of questions including if the league would even allow him to play without suspending him, if he is in shape, and how big of a PR backlash would there be for playing him.

All those questions get answered if he even plays one game. His trade value is so low now that even answering just those questions would improve it considerably. The Texans dont owe Watson anything beyond his salary, until he is suspended.

Watson is not a victim here. He has no leverage, and does not deserve anything from the club. He can demand to play but the club or league could suspend him at any point, or just deactivate him each week and let him make a stink to the union and league. This guy deserves zero sympathy. Despite the convenient narrative that the Texans are somehow the bad guy here. The bench has about 28 guys ready to play. Any team considering trading for Deshaun Watson needs to consider the following: 1.

The salary cap hit. What happens if Mr. The smart thing is to have a clause stating if Mr. I seriously doubt that any team is willing to send Houston even a single first round pick for Watson. Watson not only has a huge contract, but he has never won a single Super Bowl yet.

No GM is going to risk his job by trading for Watson. Aaron Rodgers is becoming a free agent after this season. Any team wanting a chance at winning the Super Bowl would pursue him instead. They will wind up paying Rodgers about the same as Watson is getting, and Rodgers has 1 Super Bowl ring and he is a first ballot hall of famer. No need to send anyone a first round pick by signing Rodgers. League aint suspending him anytime soon, he hasnt been found guilty of anything. His requesting to play is a smart move and I thought of this a while ago as in the Texans want to protect their interest but he can become a big thorn in their side, which he wants, by endangering his value if injured.

Joke on the Texans. Ya if him and his agent come up with a new game plan this may be it, right now its not working for them. Anyone that gives Texans more then a few late round picks for him is crazy.

He could be in jail in 6 months for all anyone knows. OR it could be determined this was a complete money grab due to a immature young entitled athlete. No team can be forced to play a player period.

Unless there is a criminal offense Watson will play in the NFL someday… but not until all of the legal entanglements are settled. He cannot change that, nor can the Texans. And attempting to create more problems for the Texans, who share his interest in reaching a trade deal, will just make potential trade partners much less interested in him. Not because he wants to play for Houston but so they have to decide what to do.

So far, the guy has not been charged with any crime. The Bearcats inch closer to making the playoff field, while the Wolverines curiously jump the Spartans. The lawsuit says otherwise. The second College Football Playoff rankings of the season have been released with the Bulldogs remaining at No.

Sports Illustrated has obtained video of comments made by the Suns owner in April. The Suns owner was accused in a recent report of racist and misogynistic behavior.
