I hope Houston is able to massage the situation into a landing spot for Deshaun.

Who would even take him now? Seems like it’s a triangulation problem: cap hit, draft picks, and a market who thinks smoke doesn’t mean fire. As we speak, there’s a big-brained MBA running the numbers. And that’s sad and gross.

Bob Socko posted:Who would even take him now? loving lmao if nothing comes of it, like nothing probably will(nothing being anything serious, he probably eats like a 4-6 game suspension), there are a number of teams who would take him. I'd bet more than half the league would be interested. He's a top 5ish QB who's like 25 years old. PR hits are temporary, and if you have a competent PR/Marketing team It can easily be flipped into a redemption story, and everyone* loving eats up a redemption story. The only way this dude doesn't find another team to play for in the NFL is if a video comes out of him sexually assaulting someone. *everyone being normal media and fans of football who don't interrogate anything.

Yeah any GM in danger of being fired for not getting a QB will be in the market for him unless he's suspended for multiple seasons.

quote:About two weeks after the first suits against Watson were filed, a lawyer who said he was representing Texans owner Cal McNair did approach both attorneys, seeking to broker a mediation. A statement from the Texans organization, emailed by a team spokesperson, says, “Mr. McNair was aware that his personal attorney contacted both parties to suggest mediation. Mr. McNair has had no personal involvement in any of those discussions. The Houston Texans organization has not had any direct contact with either party.” cal mcnair -no personal involvement in a mediation -personal lawyer just happened to offer to broker a mediation texans -no "direct contact" with either party you're telling me the texans haven't been in direct contact with their star qb (whom they're presumably trying to avoid trading) in three months? and that cal mcnair's lawyer just happened to show up with mcnair's knowledge and mcnair had no direct involvement in engaging in mediation?

Yeah, Deshaun's been adamant all 2021 that he's played his last game there, so I can believe both that 1) the Texans have tried to contact him anyway, and 2) they haven't been successful at trying that

While watson clearly isn't trustworthy, I can also believe that cal McNair thought he could somehow fix it by getting watson out of this mess and making him feel obliged to stay in Houston. Mostly because this plan is dumb as poo poo, and that fits cal.

fast cars loose anus posted:One thing lawyers for super rich people are generally known for is taking the initiative and doing things before telling their bosses so it checks out yeah but what do words even mean anymore? McNair for example could have told his lawyer, "hey go see if you can mediate this dispute but keep me out of it" and bing bong so simple now his lawyer shows up but without McNair's "involvement"

Michael Vick not only went to prison, afterwards he did (and still does) about all you could ask for to demonstrate guilt and work toward educating children and communities on why what he did was bad. I somehow doubt Watson will display similar penitence

Chris Henry alone had like a dozen arrests and died from falling out of a truck while in a domestic dispute with his wife. I miss him so much, that was like the WCW NWO era of the NFL.

The NFL is better when at least one team is openly and unashamedly criminal. Just like it's better when at least one is openly and hilariously incompetent.

I have a feeling the NFL was hoping he’d just not report so they could take the chickenshit route of doing nothing. They have to put him on the exempt list for now while they finish their investigation and the civil and criminal cases play out.

It is kind of insane for the NFL to suspend him after the Texans fined him to show. Either there is no coordination or nothing is gonna happen
