The price to get Watson is going to be counterproductive, I'd rather get Stafford and an elite WR instead of Watson if we're moving on from Alex.

The Bears said that too and look what happened..

Offense over defense every day

The Bears problem is they are/were crap at assessing good QB's. 2017 wasn't a great draft for QB, but they took Trubisky over Mahomes and Watson (now that would be a great double act!). If they had taken either of them, with that defense and the weapons they have, they'd likely have been going deep into the playoffs the last 2-3 years.

Man, being a Bears fan is gonna be torture for the next 10 or so years, with that info just sitting there. And didn't they trade up to get him?

Here is a new take I have seen yet:

According to @nfltrade_rumors

“Eagles Telling HC Candidates They Want Carson Wentz Back In 2021”

Let’s trade for Jalen Hurts if they going to force Wentz back into the lineup!!

I'd love to get Watson, but what we would have to give up for him is likely to be far too great. And not every great QB is a 1st round pick. Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Joe Theismann, Rodger Staubach, Ken Stabler, Johnny Unitas, and Bart Starr -- all Superbowl winning QBs, and not one of them was a 1st round pick. And this leaves a lot of other talented guys off the list -- Dak Prescott, Fran Tarkenton, Mark Brunell, Brad Johnson, and Mark Rypien come to mind. And, of course, there are a lot of 1st round busts -- and we've had more than our fair share of them (Haskins, Shuler, Ramsey, Campbell). I don't buy that the only way for us to get a franchise QB is to trade or trade up in the draft.

[skinsfaninok]

The Texans are not going to give us Watson for a pick and a DL lol..

Honestly the only player we have that u can throw into a deal like that is Sweat and a 1 plus 2

[skinsfaninok]

Does look great tho

[calia]

It does look great, but unless Bill O'Brien comes back to negotiate with us, the price would be too high.

[sdskinsfan2001]

What is too high for a bona-fide 25 year old franchise QB? I'd trade 3 1st and this years 2nd for him and lock him up to a Mahomes like contract. And I'd do it yesterday.

[calia]

I'm not sure I'd do that, but regardless, if Watson does get traded (and it isn't clear he will), someone will overpay and I'd rather it not be us. I don't see Rivera making a big swing like that either. But time may prove me wrong on all counts.

I don't know if he will either. And that isn't the only viable option I'd be ok with. But if we made that trade I'd be 100% fine with it. But only if it comes with contract extension with no player opt-outs.

Above is probably more wishful thinking. I hope that Lance falls to 19 in the draft. It's unlikely but possible. Heinicke, Allen, Lance would be sufficient for 2021 imo, with Lance taking over full-time in 2022.

Deshaun Watson is a no go area for me, prima donna who seems to think he should be calling all the shots in Houston.

He's mad because they gave him shit to work with... I'd take him all day

You just used Watson and Prima Donna in the same sentence.

[SkinzWin]

Texans have had internal conversations about possible trade partners for Deshaun Watson and what their quarterback position would look like in the future without him, per ESPN’s @sarahbarshop.

HOU -> WAS
