The situation in South Texas has finally come to a head, (demanding?) a trade from the . The move has seemingly been barreling toward reality for weeks now, and news of it comes only hours . But the genesis of his angst can likely be traced back to the team's decision to trade away all-world wideout to the in 2020 -- in exchange for some certified pre-owned chewing gum and a box of used envelopes.The fracture became a shatter following a disappointing finish to the season though, when Watson accused ownership of reneging on the promise of including him in conversations regarding the head coach vacancy and what happened with the open general manager role. When they brought on Nick Caserio as GM, it allegedly (and obviously) infuriated Watson, and although Caserio dubbed the three-time Pro Bowler as "our quarterback," Watson clearly disagrees. It was reported and that's coming to fruition -- it's been said he'll waive his no-trade clause for certain teams he's already eyeing.It's been a dizzying past few weeks for the Texans and it's about to ratchet to unforeseen levels if they decide to honor Watson's trade demand, but they'll only make things worse by not -- considering he could hold out and they'd then Michael Grabner Men Jersey be forced to fine him continually and probably have to move him later anyway. As far as some top potential fits for him go, there's no shortage of teams who could and should dial up Caserio to get an asking price on the 25-year-old, but you can likely bet on the following eight clubs jumping in the race; and they also have head coaches ( Kevin Klein Jersey and offensive schemes) that make for an interesting tandem with Watson.Also, don't be surprised if the AFC East drives up the asking price. Head coach: Bill BelichickWhile the Jets mull the future of Darnold, the Patriots aren't kidding themselves.Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft know they have an i sue at QB and it requires fixing now, not later. The experiment with didn't pan out as they had hoped and backup isn't taking over anyone's franchise in the near future. The good news for the Patriots is they won't pick in the bottom of the first round thanks to a disappointing season, but they're still sitting at 15th overall, and a move upward would po sibly be needed to have a go at a promising QB prospect like, potentially, Trey Lance. But again, much to the previous point regarding the Jets, it's a dice roll in the draft when you already know what you're getting with Watson. While readies for a with the , Belichick needs to reload quickly at QB to get back to his winning ways, and Watson is a full clip he could also aim at his AFC East rivals who might be in the mix to land him.Head coach: Robert SalehThey're trying to figure out if there's untapped potential in , and there potentially might be. That said, Darnold isn't Watson, and that's where the conversation should begin for general manager Joe Douglas and newly-hired head coach Robert Saleh (whom Watson is a fan of). The latter was brought on with Darnold in mind, but considering the exodus of primo talent in New York and how something Ryan Mcdonagh Kids Jersey dynamic needs to happen, roster-wise, to help turn the organization around. What the Jets need to decide is if it's better to go with a proven, young talent or to roll the dice on an unproven one with the No. 2-overall pick. Considering first-round QBs don't often pan out (they sometimes do, but it's more rare than you think (e.g., and ), the discu sion regarding Watson simply has to happen. The incentive to go hard at him isn't simply for what's stated, but also for indirect reasons, because if the Jets don't land him they could find themselves having to scheme against him at least twice a season going forward.Head coach: Brian FloresDon't expect Flores to sit on his hands as AFC East rivals reach for the phone.What might give the fiery coach pause in this dialogue is the presence of former fifth overall pick , who showed flashes in his rookie year but ultimately struggled in the end. It would be fair to give him more time to develop, especially considering he returned from a devastating hip injury and didn't have the benefit of a traditional learning curve in his first year, which is why the verdict seems torn on how to approach the QB position in South Florida for 2021. No team on this list is better equipped to fork over what it would take to land Watson and they've done big busine s with the Texans before -- landing several premium picks in exchange for left tackle they could now theoretically send back to Houston along with Tagovailoa to land their definitive franchise QB in Watson, and without batting an eye. And if you're Watson, the idea of moving to Miami Beach to learn from a player's coach like Flores is also one hell of a selling point, along with the absence of a state income tax (similar to Texas). Head coach: Mike TomlinIt's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.But all Boyz II Men references aside, the Steelers have Artemi Panarin Women Jersey to know it's time to part ways with their future Hall of Famer. became a shell of himself down the stretch and was a key reason they got embarra sed at Heinz Field by the rival in the AFC wild-card matchup, and his monstrous salary cap hit for 2021 is more than enough to start penning the Hallmark card for his exit. Also, don't go viewing Haskins as the savior at the position in Pittsburgh, but rather a project they're interested in getting a closer look at, and as for -- don't make me laugh. With the 24th pick in the coming draft and no quality QB on the roster, the Steelers need to locate the next franchise quarterback for Mike Tomlin -- and Watson would definitely be it. He'd have to acclimate to playing in cold weather, but he sure would enjoy winning again, because Tomlin does a whole Anthony Deangelo Men Jersey lot of that when his players are firing on all cylinders. Lastly, as far as dysfunction goes, the Steelers are the anti-Texans, and that would be a breath of fresh air for Watson.Head coach: Matt NagyThe NFC has entered the chat.If the Texans want Watson out of the AFC altogether, the Bears are a ready-made fit and for Chicago, you couldn't ask for a better shot at a mulligan after taking Mitchell Trubisky over both Watson and in the 2017 draft. Trubisky went off the board with the No. 2 overall pick but hasn't played like it (going to my aforementioned point about first-round QB prospects), with Watson being selected 10 picks later. It's become an unforgivable error by the Bears and team's don't usually get a chance to make things like this right, so general manager Ryan Pace better dial up the Texans front office yesterday. Putting Watson in a system with and an emerging RB in , along with a defense that can definitely get the job done, would make the Bears instant contenders to take down the in the NFC North and po sibly much more. Nagy is a talented head coach without a game-changing quarterback, and
