Chances are he won't see the 2nd part of the deal

based on the package, Curl could be S or 3rd DB, same with Fuller and Collins.

Tre Boston could free us up .. did he have a decent year last year though? Can he play up to the level of Collins/Fuller/Curl?

Anthony Harris would be a huge jolt but we arent hearing anything on that front and seems cost prohibitive. Tre seems more our approach.

Collins better be a 6/1 cut!
Collins struggled significantly in coverage. His best days were already behind him then he ruptured his Achilles last season. He will be even slower.
As an post 6/1 cut we will pocket $7.7M and use that to sign Scherff to a LTD.
I agree, sign Boston if we can get him for cheap. Win win

My reading of his contract ... and I could totally be wrong, im no expert

2021 cap hit - 16.9M (18.8m dead money if cut now or post June)

If cut designated post June - 18.8M is then spread over 2 seasons, 9.4M this year and next year (but the full 18.8M still counts against our current cap until June 1)

Post June cut = 7.5M (16.9-9.4) in extra cap space on June 1, 9.4M dead cap hit next season

I honestly dont know what to do with him .. im inclined to keep him and hope he can return to pre-injury. I dont think his play is as bad as most fans but we all agree on the money part.

Extending Scherff and Allen would reduce their current cap hits as well if we wanted some extra cap space now ...

hard to argue against the achillies part .. thats a tough injury

[SunnySide]

Rams, bears, Eagles, Saints .. are they all still over the cap?

Honestly never worried about a team not making cap until now so I dont know what the protocol is here.

Samaje Perine will continue to collect an NFL paycheck. Good for him, the NFL pension is at like 3-4 years service so he should get there.

More are coming too. Interesting watch the nfl media handle this...also interesting to see massage therapist as 2 of the first three accusers, very interesting actually.

If any of this is true on Watson then everything he said in his Book "Pass it on" about being a servant leader is 100% False.

Good thing Texans signed T Taylor. I'm guessing this will cool down the D Watson trade market a bit.

from what i understand he asked to get a happy ending . . . she said no and asked him to leave and he left . . . never tried to force anything . . . so at most this is eliciting prostitution . . . i think he can afford the lawsuit payout . . . i say buy now, his trade value should be less than prior

Acceptable call out.

I dunno; its always is a red flag when criminal chargers aren’t pursued; but in this day and age narrative first, facts later or never; it may cause some to pause.

Either way it seems way out of character for Watson

[AnonEmouse]

Maybe I'm being overly cynical, but the timing of this when he's pushing for the trade couldn't be better for the Texans if they are dead set on keeping him...

I have to admit my brain went there too. The timing definitely made me raise an eyebrow.

I don't like to jump to conclusions on these things though, just need to let facts come out. Some have been real (Guice) others have been fabricated bullshit (Reuben Foster, at least some of the allegations).

We'll find out if it has any legs.

In this case, I think we're waiting to find out if this has any hands.
