NFL: Deshaun Watson sexual assault allegations

[Halladay]

Carolina is going to make a play for him no doubt, benching Darnold today.

It makes so much sense for Tennessee to make a play for him, so they probably won't.

No it doesn't make sense, they just signed Tannehill to a contract and moving on from him this year would be a $68M dead cap hit, and next year would be a $57M dead cap hit.

Titans make no sense at all

They have a good QB in place who is signed for several more years

They are 5-2 and in 1st place in division and have no need to trade away assets for Watson nor deal with issues that Watson brings at this point

Is that still a factor if he's traded to the Texans?

Watson is a clear and obvious improvement on Tannehill. He turns that offense into a juggernaut and makes them legit SB contenders. Henry will eventually get injured like every other running back and that's when their window ends. They should try to capitalize while he's still dominant.

Yes, its not quite as much but would be 10 mil this year and 28 mil on next years cap if they trade him right now, trading him in offseason is a 29 mil hit on next years cap

Watson is not that much of an upgrade, especially with his potential legal issues to eat that much dead cap space

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but a lot of the rumblings over Houston trading Watson is they don’t want a QB back. Or at least not one with a big contract like Tannehill.

Which makes sense—Houston is probably looking to acquire their next QB in the draft.

Houston ain’t trading Watson in the division

Not a great draft for QB.

Hasn’t the main sticking point been a NDA with regards to settlements?
