I think all the Saints fans in here are basically on autopilot just from inertia. I started cheering for Kamara and a few other individual players, but I hope the franchise gets continuously embarrassed.

And Watson's case is so, so much worse

I wanna know who would have anything close to matching Miami's trade offer.

To be fair it says that's what Houston is looking for, not what Miami is offering

It could be along the lines of "You have to beat Miami's offer and if you offer three firsts and two seconds we'll just say yes immediately"

In January 2021 if you had told me "two teams will be in on trading for Deshaun Watson, and two fanbases will be totally against the trade, and neither of those fanbases will be the Texans' ", well.

Ideally he goes to prison for has many crimes and whoever traded for him doesn’t even get the chance to lobby for him to be able to play.

On one hand he won’t be playing for the local team anymore. On the other what if the picks are dependent on him being able to play?

If he was going to be prosecuted, they probably would have already brought charges. It's not like the police haven't had all the relevant material for close to a year now. There's been more than ample time to present it to a grand jury or whatever Texas' criminal process is. They haven't brought charges yet, which makes me think they're probably not going to unless there's another bombshell waiting to drop. I don't think there is.

Watson is going to settle his civil suits and start for the team that trades for him. He'll face at max a 4-6 game suspension IF he ever serves one at all.

The funniest outcome is Watson getting traded, leading a team to the Super Bowl then getting suspended right before the game. Also then being locked away for 20 years.

Even better if news breaks that morning of the Super Bowl, forcing all talk to focus on it instead of the game.

I thought the civil attorney had been lying about working with the police? Do they even have a full list of victims?

I don't think they will be able to out-bid other teams in the race. The Texans want draft capital and they don't want Darnold over Mills. It'd functionally require the Panthers either trade young core pieces on defense (no), or dumping a truckload of picks for a QB (I don't see them winning a trade off here.)

Miami trades for Watson- we have a serious PR nightmare and we’re staring down the barrel of a another few 7-10/10-7 seasons until we fizzle

And we have no picks

OR

Keep the picks and fire everyone. Try again.

Most people aren't going to abandon their team, or perhaps even get upset, if they trade for Watson. And given the unsavory nature of many of the players and people running teams it's pretty understandable. I'm not going to throw any stones at Panthers or Dolphins fans for continuing to root for their teams even if they have Watson. But I will make a lot of tasteless jokes about it.

If I were a Texans fan, I think I'd be hoping they got something in return for him. It's not like you're having to look at him every week. If they get picks for him, I don't think they need to be regarded as blood money or anything like that.
