This projected trade was from CBS Sports-Are they out of their minds
Projected offer: 2022 first-round pick (No. 13), 2023 first-round pick, 2022 second-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, 2022 sixth-round pick, QB Baker Mayfield, RB Kareem Hunt, TE David Njoku
Unlike the Seahawks with Drew Lock, the Texans would at least be getting a proven serviceable starter at QB in Mayfield, who may or may not warrant a long-term deal but is still just 26 himself. Hunt plays a replaceable role but is also 26 with Pro Bowl flashes at a position of need, while Njoku, 25, is a prime candidate to be moved under the franchise tag. If the Browns are willing to offer above or similar to get a player who has 20+ civil law suits waiting for him around the corner then I will officially label our GM and owners as first class idiots.
Being intelligent and smart isn’t always the same thing but this sort of idiotic deal must be labeled something else. Why are we even discussing such a brainless trade?
I know that journalists like MKC is a hater and maybe not the smartest chick around but the rest of you? Have any of you thought about the consequences if the NFL will suspend him, how long, or how the law suits will affect him? He will be in the public eye for a long long time and we still don’t know all the juicy ingredients who’s surrounding him. When lawyers starts to leak details to win sympathy it can get ugly. And what about the public opinion if some weird sexual behavior is coming out of all these law suits. No well run organization are willing take such a huge gamble with these conditions. The downsides far outweighs the upside.
Time will tell what kind of a organization we have with Berry but just hearing all these crazy speculations without nobody leaks any news trying to denying these rumors makes me wonder if something has changed in this historically underperforming organization.

If you pay someone to give you oral sex it's not prostitution? depends on if you are married to them or not Some millennials and gen Zs think oral/anal are not sex at all. At least it doesn't count against their chastity vows. Heard kids talking about it and thought it was nuts. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We had a POTUS that wanted us to believe that.

The more I think about it. The more I wonder if we're just a stalking horse to drive up the price of Watson.
I could see Berry being content helping to make whoever ends up with Watson hamstring themselves by giving away as many prime picks and players as possible. I don't think anyone's worried about the Texans being able to use the picks well.
Alternatively, if we are actually interested in Watson at all I'd try to string them along until the draft. See if a player we covet is available at our pick or not. It would also allow more clarity on the civil cases.
If someone throws a ridiculous deal at the Texans now, I'm fine riding with 6.

I don't know how good a fit New Orleans would actually be. They could be losing their LT in free agency. Michael Thomas went on IR in 2020 and didn't play at all in 2021. Alvin Kamara has legal trouble from the fiasco in Las Vegas while there for the Pro Bowl. They gave Taysom Hill that rather strange contract where they're on the hook for 19M this season and potentially a lot more if he's playing QB, which is more likely if Watson is there and suspended. Sean Payton is gone. They've already done a bunch of contract restructuring.
Maybe we'd be able to pry a DE away from them if they need to make cap room for Watson. I remember liking Davenport when he was coming out.

Mike Ditka gave up his whole draft for the second best running back in the draft. Not quite the same. I get the joke though.

I long for the censorship days of 1980s television, if it were up to me, I'd delete the entire topic. Since the start I've kind of had a hunch that Watson was guilty of making angry the wrong billionaire.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Would Kevin Stefanski's (no throw) offense ruin DeShaun Watson if he came to Cleveland?
I think it is a legit question to answer.

It doesn’t matter what teams offer really. Watson is going to pick a spot. It matters. The Texans don't have to trade him. And sit on a treasure trove of assets? If they don't get their price, or at least close.

They paid him to not play last year, and I'm pretty sure he asked for the trade then. What makes anyone think he will play for them now after he was benched for the year? I wonder if that was a year against his contract, or since he didn't play at all, if his contract extends a year? I mean he was paid, so it should count, right? I don't know for sure. I would think it probably counts. If Watson decides to sit out, then it doesn't.

the courts did not find enough evidence to convict. Why do we think we have a moral high ground to the law? Being innocent and being found not guilty are not the same thing. Yes it is. You are innocent until proven guilty. That is our law and rights as a citizen. Innocent means that you didn't do anything wrong. Not guilty means. it cannot be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you did. Not the same thing. In your opinion. There is nothing to keep the court of public opinion from finding a person guilty, but that carries no legal weight. You might feel that he is guilty, but you don't know that he is guilty. I myself am glad we live in a country where proof is needed to find people guilty over having public opinion polls to determine their fate. If it was determined in that manner, way more innocent people would be found guilty and way more guilty people would be deemed not guilty, or deemed innocent if you will.

can someone explain to me why carolina would be a front runner?
remember, the texans dont have to trade him, and Watson doesnt can say no regardless. also, he already declined Carolina last season. Carolina tried to trade for watson when there was NOTHING cleared up, but he declined it.
what circumstances in carolina changed that makes the destination more attractive to watson now than last season?

Can someone start a Derek Carr thread?
I believe if we make a move at QB it will be him. It just makes too much sense. Hoodie Jr. loves Baker. It was reported the Patriots wanted to trade up for him in the draft.
And Carr would fit what we want to do, and is essentially a Kirk Cousins type. Plus as a little added bonus he's already played with Cooper. Chemistry is there.
Josh needs his QB. And he's not afraid to make a splash. Baker is the perfect guy for him. And I would imagine we were good with Baker until McDaniels came along and asked us about him. He's pushing us to trade him. And perhaps the media heard we were in heavy talks for a QB and assumed it was Watson...
This is all my speculation of course.

According to Spotrac, Watson will not be an UFA until 2026 which means he has 4-years left on his deal 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Other notes: Watson's contract is fully guaranteed for 2022 (35M salary and 5.4M signing bonus that Houston is responsible for.) Houston is also responsible for the signing bonuses of 5.4M in 2023 and 2024. The Browns minimal commitment if trading for Watson would be: 2022 - 35M, 2023 - 37M, 2024 - 32M and 2025 - 32M with no dead cap any year after 2023. 2022 has a Roster Bonus of $17M for 2023 (guarantees 3/20/2022, due the 5th league day of 2023). IMHO, the Texans will trade Watson before 3/20/2022 so as to pass that roster bonus to the acquiring team.

Interesting. Seemed like he was on the "to Carolina" boat. Maybe he's got a bet and he's trying to will it to happen? It could be a myriad of reasons. I added my comment because he recently double-downed on it being Carolina over the weekend only to change his tune rather quickly. And I think it is worthwhile because Allbright is usually spot-on when it comes to his information, which is a primary reason why I don't think Cleveland is a front runner for Watson. My guess is new info from sources changed his opinion-- happens all the time, obviously.

Saints are the trending favorites. I wonder if Sean Payton wishes he would have stayed now?
Of course, they’re going to give up a lot to acquire him
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

At the end of the day, I do not think Watson will end up here. The price tag may just end up being too much. Watson will go somewhere and I suspect he will raise that team to another level.
The question is what conversations will we be having in February about our QB position.
How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

Of course, they’re going to give up a lot to acquire him The interesting thing in all of this, at least to me, isn't really the compensation teams will offer. It's the decision of where Watson wants to go. He holds all, or at least the majority, of the leverage and not the Texans playing teams off of one another. Now, the team Watson chooses to go to, they will have to offer a significant package but it's not a trade market in the truest sense of the term, IMO. Out of the mentioned teams, I think the Browns have the best team to win now. However, if I'm Watson, playing in the NFC verses the AFC, seems like a more palatable route to make it to a Superbowl at this time. However, Brady coming back might have made that more difficult, which ironically enough, is in the same division as both the Saints and Panthers-- the two alleged front runners.

The dumb thing about it is that the Texans are probably in the easiest division in the AFC and sure you have quarterbacks to deal with in the playoffs, but at the moment the quarterbacks in the AFC south are beatable. The Texans botched this majorly and could have had a nice run with Watt, Hopkins, Watson, etc. The best place for Watson is Houston.

Well in that case, that's exactly what we need then. A QB with 22 civil suits for sexual misconduct hanging over his head. That sounds like a brilliant business move. I don't want to sound like an arbiter of this thread, but IMO, this post is the closest of yours to reality. Another poster before this post mentioned that they wanted to look at a Watson trade without the cloud of the ethics... but you can't yet. The truth is his civil lawsuits are still pending, and the bar is much lower. This means there will absolutely be movement on those fronts. He'll have to defend himself, which means sordid details will leak out. If we're going to jump to any conclusions, I think the most reasonable one is that Watson is probably a giant creep. If he actually did anything wrong is another argument but, at the very least, you don't generate this much smoke without at least being a giant creep.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
