My thinking is that Houston might not be able to get the picks that were on the table last year, and teams might low ball them. The management might want to take the low ball offer, but might also fear that trading Watson for a low ball offer after passing on higher offers last year will hurt their reputation. If they can’t keep Watson, can’t take less that two first rounders for him, and can’t get two first rounders for him, the only remaining option is to trade him for a player who they can pass off to fans as being worth two first rounders, but get for less due to character or injury concerns. Thomas could be a good match in that sense.

I want to get rid of Thomas because I worry he has Terrelle Pryors ankle, a young Antonio Browns attitude, and the combination of his apathy and injury will make rehab even less likely. I hope he ends up with a division rival on a long term deal.
