Well it doesn’t look like he will have an excuse, because it seems Jets are doing everything in their power to build a talented team that can carry him as he develops. It’s actually the way a young QB is supposed to be developed, talented team carries him first couple of years then he transitions into the QB who carries the team. It wouldn’t surprise me if Jets select Ekwonu and put him at RT and disregard Becton, use him as depth and cut ties with him after 4 years or trade him before that. That would be a line that would help the offense tremendously…Fant, AVT, CM, Tomlinson, Ekwonu.
I don't know what Watson is doing exactly. Rumors are he is vetoing every option he hears, including Phily and Carolina.
Might be playing a game of chicken with the Texans. Texans want the world for him still and Watson might be looking to reduce this by only agreeing to one team perhaps. Therefore helping his new team not sacrifice as much as it could. Weakens the Texans position who have to pay him 41 million if he doesn't leave. Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk
except they don't. they can force him to play and if he refuses fine him into oblivion. players can't hold out anymore due to the new CBA rules. people think watson has the leverage but he doesn't. the reality is it's beneficial for both sides to get a deal done. watson can go play elsewhere and the texans can get a bunch of assets to rebuild option 2 is he plays for the texans option 3 is he refuses to play and gets fined insane amounts of money and doesn't get paid
The news today is that he's informed the Browns that he's not going there, after they courted him. Baker Mayfield saw what was happening and released an emotional farewell letter to Browns fans the other day. Baker was slightly premature with his tears. What a mess! Let's be thrilled that this kind of gossipy nonsense is FAR away from us. Finally!
darnold didn't work out but happy we didn't have baker. at least darnold was a professional and not a child. I think the browns still look to move on from him at this point.
tbh, i dont understand the premature jettison-Becton stance people are taking. it's pretty knee-jerk from my POV. We have to SEE what's what THIS year. He showed promise as a rookie.
Agree. It's been discussed to death around here lately. We are all fickle bitches, so as soon as Mekhi shoves a big body out of the way again, he'll get most of his Jets fans back. IMO, that injury looked really bad despite the timetable. That day I did think he could be out the rest of the year no matter what they said. Now that the season is over, it's better that he was. No re-injury. My stance is that we still possess a unique and special player. I'd like to see what he's got on the right side just to see what type of athlete he is.
Damn, think what's become of that draft's QB class... A buddy of mine actually wanted them to take Rosen! I was so close to nailing it - that offseason I wanted them to sign Bridgewater, and draft Josh Allen. They signed Bridgewater, but didn't take Josh. BUT I'm no genius either - I was ecstatic to get Darnold. When I wanted Josh Allen it was because I didn't expect Sam to be there. I also wanted either QB to sit and watch for a year behind Teddy. I guess that method of grooming is over.
The 49ers essentially red shirted Lance last year. He's who I wanted, so I hope I don't end up being right. So far, the best performer from the 2021 class is Jones.
that draft class ... i didnt know wtf Sam was. buncha Jets fans had me convinced he was teh shizz. I watched a bit oftape and I was NOT wowed. i DID say why not just stay put a draft LJ cos when he sticks his foot in the ground its electric. although i admit that wasnt an EXACT, ACTUAL "we should defo just pick LJ" stance. it was more of " well.. i dunno about these guys ( Sam, 2 joshes, Baker-i was defo NOT for baker) LJ IS an option"
I don’t think there are any Jet fans that want him traded. We are simply paying attention to how the CS has treated him so far, they don’t seem to be supportive of him. What do you think Watson is going to do? Play for Texans or force them into a trade?
Well Baker requested a trade and Browns denied it. Matt Ryan also looks like bridges burnt between him and Atlanta All because they were courting Watson
bold- from my POV there is ALOT of extrapolating on little info. But... we all do this sometimes. italic- Thanks for asking. Hmm... I think he gonna try to (force) to get eslewhere. And now lil BakerBoy is pouting for a trade. jajajajaja!!!
Ryan to Texans and Watson to Falcons. Wouldn't know what other compensation there would be. I'm guessing Ryan would agree to the trade contingent on getting an extension.
There is 0 chance Ryan goes to the Texans. The Falcons recoup some pics from the Colts would be my guess. The Texans want to see what they have in Mills and are in a youth movement. Ryan has enough personal capital in Atlanta to go to a winning team. The Colts make too much sense.
Baker is going to be a messy situation there. However, I think ATL will handle Ryan's exit gracefully, after all he has done for that franchise, i think he'll get the Stafford treatment. The old let us know where you want to go and we'll work it out. Thanks for all you have done you legend. Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk
