I'd feel worse for Watson except he knew exactly what he was getting into re-signing with Houston.

Name the last franchise QB that didn't re-sign with his team before his rookie contract expired. Kirk Cousins is the only one I could think of.

Drew Brees probably turned out the best if you want to go back that far?

Rookie contract plus one franchise tag year before moving along from the Chargers if I've got the timing correct.

Did Cutler sign an extension before he was traded

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

Cutler was also the last time I can recall a coach with GM powers absolutely torching his team so badly on his way out the door, so he’s probably a good comparison for Watson.

Chip Kelly, maybe, though you could also argue that he built the roster that won Doug a title. And there was no franchise QB to alienate there.

Man that one Foles year with Chip though.

Foles has had such a bizarrely memorable career for a guy who's really pretty bad most of the time. But not all of it, and the parts where he wasn't bad he was really damned good.

Yeah Brees is probably the purest example of what I was getting at- a QB that let his rookie deal run out, the team wanted to re-sign him and make an offer, and he walked. Cutler is close, though he demanded a trade and got out before his deal expired.

Yeah and Cousins played two. I don't think there's ever been a pure walk-away scenario, simply from the existence of the franchise tag.

Watson signed his extension in September so Hopkins was already gone and Tunsil has singed his bonkers contract already. Watson wanted the security of a long term deal having already torn a ligament once I’m sure.

Yeah, that was probably the big reason, along with friends and teammates probably telling him to take the money.

Let's say that Watson get moved, and any team interested can make it happen. Where are his top landing spots? My choice would be Carolina, of course, but like someone said here or in the draft thread, there's only a few teams where he wouldn't be an instant upgrade

Would it be spicy to say... Washington? Really good defense, competent coaching for once, a young star receiver, a legit looking rookie RB, a huge market with an owner who (however loathsome) loves making a splash and winning the off-season, and absolutely no established incumbent at QB.

Watson already was extended.

His cap hit in 2022 and 2023 seem to be 40 and 42 million, respectively. 19?? or so this year.

And in 2021 we're expecting the cap drop of roughly 28 million. Not many teams have the space for him. Miami and the Jets are in a very rare position, with Miami only having an advantage if 1. he prefers to be back in Miami + 2. Texans like Tua. Jets have the advantage of having an extra 1st round pick in 2022, either for trading or for rookie talent to replace the cap space you lose.

Plus he might want to play in the biggest media market versus whatever Miami is, like 10. Smaller but it's closer to home with his family, which apparently lives about an hour away north. And he grew up a Dolphins fan.

Pretty much any of: Patriots, Dolphins, Raiders, Broncos, Football Team, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Panthers, or 49ers would become instant contenders with him and should pay the asking price of presumably 3 firsts + other stuff. Add in the Browns if you want to get spicy.

Definitely not what I would call a top landing spot but the Jags could conceivably get him for one first.

Which would create conversations about whether it was the right move or not for goddamned years even if Lawrence doesn't pan out. And especially if he does.
