D. Watson anyone

[Bert Johns]

Today we found out no criminal charges are going to be charged to D. Watson the grand jury dismissed all 9 counts against him. The Colts need a quality qb and he fits the bill. He will be suspended by the nfl for conduct but he will be available after that. I say we roll with Sam till he's ready to go. This guy can play

[GoColts8818]

Texans won’t trade him to a team in the division.

[Coltsman1788]

It will never happen. Houston would never trade him within the division.  

[jbaron04]

We don’t have the capital to get him 

[chad72]

He’s going to the Eagles for 2 first rounders at least and a possible future first rounder, I’m speculating, no one else has the ammunition. Not sure if he will waive his No trade clause for Eagles like he said he would for Dolphins. Also, Russell Wilson said he wouldn’t waive no trade clause for Eagles but did so for Broncos.

 

No one wants to play QB in Philly, I guess.  

[EastStreet]

As far as within the division.... if the biggest bid is within the division, I think they'd do it.

 

As far as capital - they were asking for three 1Rs and three 2Rs. We'd have to package a player comparable to a 1R pick. It could be done.

 

But.... Ballard and Reich aren't touching Mr. Handy with a ten foot poll. 

[PeterBowman]

They'd never trade him here but a man can dream.

[ChuggaBeer]

Cue the "ALL IN" crowd.  LOL

[NDSU_Guy]

It says a lot about any team that is willing to take him.

Jets, Giants, Jags, and Detroit all have as much or more capital than Philly. 

Jets could pull it off easier than all the other teams given both their draft capital and cap space. 

[Rolltide_gocolts]

This would be best case scenario… he’s the type of QB we need to be competitive in this  AFC

I feel ya, but all the charges were dropped. 

It was likely a money grab for handies.

And Kraft was a handy fan too.

[Coltsman1788]

I bet Watson ends up in Pittsburgh in a somewhat shocking trade. They will then be back to being a force in the AFC.  Barf.

Won't deter Pittsburgh.  They are use to having a franchise QB accused of taking advantage of women.

True. I can definitely see Giants being aggressive there. Jets and Jags won’t easily give up on their first round QB investment a year into it and I really have a hard time thinking Watson would go to Lions.

 

The NFC East is going to be aggressive 

[Colts1324]

I am hearing Seattle.

 

I bet Washington regrets prematurely trading for Wentz already  

[AKB]

@NewColtsFan Oh look the  charges got dismissed

[Coltsbluefan]

He will be a Panther.

[chad72]

Just now, Coltsbluefan said:

Yes that’s another team that has a lot of pieces outside QB. I would have to think that he goes to the NFC when it is all said and done.

Jet's could use their QB as trade capital. 

It might be a sweetener that attracts Houston. 

[Coltsman1788]

What if Raiders acquire him to upgrade their QB to keep up with the Jones of the AFC West and ship Carr to Houston?  That would suck. Lol

If I'm Carolina, I'm taking Willis.

Also, Carolina lacks a second this season. 

Not saying that kills their ability, but it does make it a lot harder than some other teams out there from a bid perspective.

My buddy thinks they'll trade Carr and picks for Watson.

Probably a good place for him. 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Not a chance at all…

[PRnum1]

I would be ALL IN on Watson

The Colts could be.  However, the Texans aren’t going to trade him within the division regardless of what the Colts offer.

Not by the NFL though.    He could still face suspension

Yup….  I’m surprised.    But there are still two hurdles to clear.    22 civil settlements.   But the biggest one is a probable suspension by the NFL.    That will be interesting to watch.

Seems like he was trying to be ALL IN on his massage therapists.

Maybe but they’ll likely pass

He has to settle with all of his massage therapists so they drop their civil suits.

 

That could be 2M per hand job but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

[richard pallo]

Does he have a no trade clause?  He should want Las Vegas.  Its legal there. 

[Coltsman1788]

Raiders fans online who were saying Derek Carr is a Raider for life when Colts rumors were swirling around are suddenly ready to ship him off since Watson became available.  Lol

I'd prefer he went to the NFC too.

In Vegas, probably runs 200 per lol.. 

 

The charges being dropped today likely means the civil suits get a lot cheaper now, and get settled quicker.

 

The fact the same lawyer is representing all the plaintiffs, means it could be one quick deal. 

 

Their cases are a lot weaker, but Watson will want to pay just to make it go away, and so no further testimony is required.  

[danlhart87]

I keep seeing people say Raiders but can they even afford Watson 

[JediXMan]

He needs to go to the NFC. AFC is so loaded right now lol.

[Pelt]

Watson to the Colts?

Somehow I don't believe the fruition of that scenario will have a happy ending...
