Yes, if we cut Roby and restructure most of the remaining players eligible we could, I suppose, slip Davenport in as part of a trade, but that would exhaust virtually all remaining cap recovery for further free agency.

Correct but Feauxstradamus said "can't".
I am leery of ruling anything out with this team since the Rickey Williams deal.

Not a done deal but my insider says Watson is essentially telling Arthur Blank it's his deal to lose.

I do not have to show you anything, eventually you will even argue with yourself and prove me right.... which you did in the same reply.

Don't forget, we also need to make some moves to be able to fit Watson under the cap constraints. Including any player that has been restructured as part of the trade will make that those moves even that much more grueling, and yes, even impossible at some point.

Because the cap doesn't matter tho, rite?

I agree completely. Watson will get a pass by media and fans. Its depressing.

I really wish we could build through the draft or something.

Nobody has to show you a damn thing. I see you still haven't learned. NPD rarely does.

Dangit! Really???

I'm literally refreshing "Deshaun Watson" in my open search tab every 20-30 mins. I'm on pins and needles.
