I just spent the last day catching up on this thread and I'm impressed we got 48 pages and the title hasn't been changed to Texans N/V Thread: Houston, We Have a Problem. That said, what a  read.

The commissioner's exempt list is right there as a nice convenient Sword of Damocles if no criminal charges come up, but IMO it would require enough of a rabble from sponsors threatening to pull advertising money out before Watson is suspended.

"We take these allegations seriously enough to not look callous but are not going to fully condemn Watson as we don't want to scare you off from committing to season tickets." Speaking of which, when is the deadline for purchasing Texans season tickets? I would  so hard if the team turns on Watson the day after collecting everybody's  .

At this point you'd think the NFL would throw the Texans a lifeline and put Watson on the exempt list, but everybody knows Watson wants out of Houston so Texas has to put up the dog & pony show with training camp so it could potentially entice a team to be dumb enough to trade for him. Luckily, no team is that dumb as they can see there's a real chance Watson's legal troubles are legit & they don't want to lose picks/players for somebody that would be suspended/incarcerated. And somehow, Jack Easterby comes out looking like the least terrible person in this Texans organization.

I really do think it's the Texans asking Goodell to not put Watson on the exempt list, so that they can showcase him at practices to other teams in hopes of a trade. If Watson's on the exempt list his trade value is shot (even more so). Goes to show the exempt list is useless as here's is a prime example of when it would be utilized but isn't because it hurts a team in a non-PR way.

I'm figuring the Texans are willing to take the financial hit so they can keep Watson as viable trade bait. That said, are players on the exempt list still paid?

Ok that's kind of nuts to have Watson take up a roster spot. Are they really that worried him in the exempt list will tank his trade value?

Ok, then it's even more hilarious that the Texans aren't contacting the NFL on the DL & asking "Hey, can you do us a solid & put Watson on the exempt list for us?"

DariusLikewise posted: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.

The only thing I could think for Goodell not suspending Watson or putting him on the exempt list was a favor to the Texans, as his trade value would've been completely shot.

I dunno, if Watson maintains the discipline to stay in shape I don't see how sitting a year is that bad. At least there's less wear & year in his body.

Being reminded of the Cosby case now has me wondering if the prosecution is taking things more slowly & methodically, because watching Bill walk happily out of prison thanks to the prosecution loving up was a  experience.
