Tua for Watson. Lets go!

The Eagles clearly made some bad decisions since the Super Bowl win. But, at least they're trying to figure out a trade; which, right now, looks like Wentz going to Chicago in exchange for Foles and a first round draft pick along with some change.

I don't know what the Texans are doing. Watson wants out. They're in full rebuild mode and they traded their first round (third overall) pick to the Dolphins. Teams are willing to dump a ransom on Watson.

Apparently, the Texans are still saying that they have no interest in trading Watson under any circumstances.

Unfortunately, if he does get traded, the only teams that he's said that he'd be willing to go to are both AFC rivals of the Bills: the Jets and the Dolphins, which have the number two and three overall picks.

If I'm the Texans, and the Dolphins come to me offering the third overall pick, possibly also the sixteenth overall, and Tua for Watson, I take it. You get rid of a $40 million dollar a year contract in exchange for one that will top out around seven before having to reassign him while gaining the draft capital to plug some key holes.

If I'm the Dolphins, I might even throw in a couple more picks if possible. Tua is a promising player; but, the Dolphins are clearly on the cusp of making a run. Their defense is great. They need a few positions helped on offense; but, if I were the Dolphins, I'd be looking at this opportunity to aquire a proven, still young QB when we need it the most and it's hard to find a pricetag on that.
