Or even 3 1st rounders and nothing else. Would you trade Allen, Payne, Sweat for Watson? So he can whine for a trade 9 months later? No way. The big problem with Watson is no character no loyalty. You sign a $150M deal, you owe the team some loyalty, as they have made long-term investment. It is obscene to sign a deal so large and then demand trade less than a year into it. You have doubts about organization, better consider that BEFORE signing new deal period. Favre was right.
But basically, most posters advocate absurd bounties for good but not great players, and think we can attain solid players for almost nothing. And it doesn't matter, Watson isn't being traded. Houston ownership will let him sit and fine him into bankruptcy, just on principle.
Not THE DAN, Cerrato. LOL. Cerrato after being hit in the head with a baseball bat 15 times.
Chase Young is a generational talent at the 2nd most important position in football. Burrow is a solid but not great QB. Bengals should have drafted Young. You don't trade Young under any circumstances. EVER. Anyone suggesting so is a Cerrato, plain and simple. Young is a potential HOF player barring major injuries, the best player on team hands down, in 1st season, has everything you want, heart, talent, passion, character, on and off field. He is the type of guy you build a SB contender around.
What those 4 1st round picks should get you, in successive years, is a franchise LT, franchise shutdown CB, franchise LB, and franchise FS or WR or QB. Imagine looking up in 4 years and having Young, a Pro Bowl LB and CB, and a true franchise LT.
Can the Homers please stop it with Watson? He isn't getting traded, other teams with higher picks and multiple higher picks can offer more, and what it would take is much more than we should pay. Also, Watson controls where he would go if traded, and would certainly go to a team on the verge of contending, rather than one of laughing stock franchises in NFL, us. We have NO elite players on O except a freaking RG who can't stay healthy. There are teams loaded with talent who can offer Watson far better situation, and no player or agent honestly believes THE DAN can go 4-5 years without reverting to his historical baseline behavior of meddling, backstabbing, etc.
We have to draft our own franchise QB. Period. That is the only way you get one, with exceedingly rare exceptions, none of which are relevant in this year's QB market.
What is so hard to understand about all this?
