Maybe we could trade Lattimore for Watson. Possibly we throw in Taysom. Given the history than Roethlisberger, Kobe, Vick, Burress, AB, Hunt, Tyreek, etc all played in the NFL again, odds are that both Lattimore and Watson play in the NFL again, possibly after missing a year or so. More money is locked up in Watson but if he gets his act together and stops looking for happy endings he is a top QB. We could try Winston this year and if he turns everything around we can cut Watson loose, but if Winston stays wild, Watson is a better version. Meanwhile for the Texans, Taysom and Tyrod can play in a similar offensive style, Taysom can sell tickets, and Lattimore gives them the appearance of return for trading away Watson since they were taken in similar positions in the same draft.

I have a feeling Lattimore misses no more than a game or two, if any at all. The rest of your scenario is fantasy. Just sayin'.

Maybe. But Plaxico did jail time and missed a season for a gun, so who knows. Fricken Martha Stewart did jail time for accepting a stock tip, you never know whether a celeb will get a slap on the wrist of be made an example of. My issue with Lattimore is I feel he plays when he feels like it. Elite talent with wavering motivation. We don't know who misses more time for sure, but we know Watson plays the more valuable position, which tends to have longer career, and has played more consistently.

The difficulty is that even on his "off days," he's still better than past Saints DB's. But I do agree with the motivation point and I believe Latt even said it himself in 2018.

Its frustrating because he can be such a great player but only shows up now and again. Like he'll get in Mike Evans head and make him drop 3 passes, but then gets burnt by guys like Hunter freaking Renfrow and Adam Lazard.

Good player, not worth elite money.
