Watson to Colts possibility???

[LJpalmbeacher2 1,971]

Yeah we know its unlikely,  but if Ballard is truly great he should pull a David Copperfield move on the troubled Texans.

 

Make it happen Ballard, make it happen.

Unlikely as you say but I am with you on this!

[danlhart87 8,704]

Could we merge all Watson threads?

There's 3 alone in the Draft section!

 

I doubt Texans trade him in division

No!!! 

This one has a link related to the Colts.

In normal times, I would say this would never happen. But in the current times of Covid, and other historical events unfolding around us, combined with the fact that Watsons contract has a no trade clause that can only be voided by Watson if he wanted to go to a certain team, I’d say the odds are higher than never , still unlikely but I ain’t ruling anything out. 
 

watson, behind this line, with our running backs, would be instant contender. This is the LONE trade for a QB I’d be okay with. 3, number 1s, get it down Ballard

I want it to happen. 

And if Ballard can't do it, I'll buy madden 21 and make it happen myself !

Never.....ever......ever....ever going too happen

[chickenMan 608]

Give them anything they want (within reason, of course). I'd be perfectly fine with giving them our next three first-rounders and a second rounder or two. If we had Watson on this team, we would be in the AFC championship this year, I would bet money on it.

 

Also, the salt from Texans fans if they traded Deshaun to us would be legendary

[luv_pony_express 670]

I’d be really surprised if Watson plays anywhere else next season.

[Indyfan4life 840]

I’d as surprised if didn’t happen as I would be if it did happen. 

[Fluke_33 2,675]

I would love to get Watson but there is no way Ballard gives up 3 first round picks for any one player.  

[The Fish 1,184]

The odds that he's playing anywhere other than Houston aren't high at all.

And they're even lower that he'd be a Colt. 

 

But yeah, we should want him.

Throw in the rights to Castonzo, Luck and trade Hooker and Clark and a second round pick. They will take it. Oops forgot Bill O’Brien is no longer there.

[GoColts8818 4,688]

It won’t happen but i fully expect Ballard to try, he’d be a fool not too.

[Thunderbolt 455]

If it happens, we'll be in the playoffs every year and a possible chance to go to the big dance.

[Lef 81]

0% chance Houston trades him to division rival. He is too good and it would create an incredible obstacle for them to win the south for the next 12+ years. I refuse to believe they could be that stupid.

What if we gave them 3 1st round picks in =2021, 2022, and 2023 and threw in Eason? Tempting right? Most would say Ballard would never do that but he would still have picks 2-7 in all those years + a franchise QB.

[Lef 81]

If Ballard is offering up that much, which is unlikely, other teams will also be offering attractive packages. Houston probably would take less to ship him outside division and maybe even to nfc.

IMO if the Texans do trade Watson to the Colts that would be worse than anything O'Brian did while he was the GM. That would be trading their chance at a division title away for 10 years.

Well, I doubt Ballard would do that.

 

But it doesn’t matter if he would or wouldn’t.  No team is going to trade a young, elite quarterback to a division rival.

This is fantasy that will not happen. But what is funny is that you think (or echo) the idea that it will only take three # 1s. That is not even close to the compensation it would take to pry him out of Houston.

MIA can top that with multiple 1sts and Tua. Plus he's out of the AFC South. ZERO chance 

that Watson ends up in Indy.

I'm more than ok with that.

 

Generational talent, worth the whole draft...

I'd like it to happen just to see Texans fans reactions.

I disagree. He might be worth one first round and some additional latter round picks but no way would I give up three #1s. He hasn't done enough to warrant such a price.

I don't think anybody need to explain how good he is.

 

He's great, Mahommes type of great, and the simple fact that he can be out of division is already good.

He isn't as good as Mahomes.   Not yet anyway

We have diferent opinions, that's life.. 

 

I think with Andy Reid coaching and that firepower, would be just as good.
