They are sending a message to Watson. You'd better try to make this work because we WILL hold firm and let you eat the shitburger. You give even an inch taking offers, Watson wins, and no way they let him win. There is absolutely 0% chance the ownership in Houston caves.

The best thing for Houston is to take the 3 number 1 draft picks they'll likely get (along with any other picks) and rebuild. As Bruce Allen showed (at our expense) it is foolish to insist on keeping a marquee player, that doesn't want to play with your team anymore.

Watson is a 25 year old elite QB, who has the luxury of sitting for a season if the Texans play hardball with him. I'm pretty sure the Texans will change their tune as we get closer to the draft.

Technically they could put him on ice for 8 years. His 5 year deal and three franchise tags. THAT would be hardball...

They can, but why would they want to do that? They could easily rebuild and be competitive in 2-3 years with haul of draft picks they would get from trading Watson.
