Yeah, I know.  I think he goes to the Jets or Dolphins.  I was just putting together what the bears best package looks like.  We are never going to be a legit contender as long as a team with the high pick or qb with upside is on Watson's approved list.

In Watsons contract he can approve or reject a trade.

The Bears aren’t on his approval list.

The Texans salary cap will take a hit if he leaves.  They go from $18 mil over the cap to $21 mil over.

Maybe they trade him to draft Lawrence but I doubt there’s any other realistic trade.

I think it is funny that people think because he didn't get taken to dinner and interviewed before he was drafted he would refuse a trade to the Bears.

That is just so absurd.  Refuse a trade to a QB starved top 3 media market because he wasn't asked out to dinner.  He could become a legend on a legendary football team and get all kinds of endorsement deals on top of what he already has.  This is a business folks.  He is not going to decline a trade to the Bears because he didn't get invited to dinner.

He won't be in Chicago for a number of reasons but not that one.

Maybe Pace entices Watson to the Bears by offering to let him choose who replaces Nagy in 2022. 

This isnt going to fly you know but its at least out there:

Its as realistically possible for the Bears to swing a deal as Walmart has to be getting a bunch of lunar green cheese from the man in the moon

This isn't the NBA, I doubt the Texans trade Watson.

Some fun stuff to watch- and a few Bears related nuggets inside too:

IMO- Until the Bears decide to sit pat, and build this team from the ground up (make wise draft choices) they/we are fukked. Chasing every rainbow and trading away our draft picks has not worked. No matter how good a QB is, if he's running for his life he's no better than what we have (yes, that's a stretch).
