I know if I was an athlete, I’d definitely find a place to play with no income taxes, huge chunk of money forfeited for no good reason.

But I don’t think it would come to that as long as they are willing to throw in lots of 1st round picks to win the bidding war. With how far down they pick and would continue to pick I wouldn’t do it without Chase Young. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just a few years ago I thought we'd be dealing with Watson and Luck for like another decade and now we might not have to deal with either.

AJClown Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 It's harder for NFL mega stars to force their way out of a team. Unlike the NBA, where as we saw James Harden can say he wants to play in Brooklyn and he then magically ends up traded to Brooklyn. It seems like the only option NFL players do have is to hold out. Has Watson publicly said he would sit out? Or is that basically the Schefters of the world who are presenting it as an option? I find it hard to believe that an NFL player in his prime would opt to sit out an entire season. Look what happened to Le'Veon. Different position of course. But Bell basically went from being a top 5 positional talent to an afterthought. And that was with "saving" his body one year of wear and tear. Watson is too young in my opinion to pull the "I'm done" card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson Palmer retired to avoid playing for Cincinnati at age 32 and still got traded for a 1st round pick. That was an out of prime Carson Palmer.

That was an out of prime Carson Palmer. I forgot about Carson. He's probably the best example. But he was also 32 and coming off a 20 interception season. Not sure how much power he really had, and it was just stupid Hue that traded for him. Luck retired at 29. He didn't really force a move from the team. And I don't think he retired with the intention of sitting out and then ever coming back. He's done. Watson I think will be 26? Really the prime of his career. Not sure there's any all pro QB that ever sat out after just 4 years in the league. Clearly they will be at an impasse. Guess we'll have to see who blinks first. Given the Hopkins departure and this front office mess, I'm guessing Watson is fuming and is just going to dig his heels in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
