Rivalries generally extend past the field... Or faced with Brady and Watson in the NFC South, Blank cant stomach where he knows the Falcons will sit at the end of the season.

Dont sleep on why Blank did this himself instead of sending Fontenot or Smith either, Watson had issues with the Texans ownership not keeping their word and he wants to show Watson that he is different. This also keeps his pitch Falcons vs Texans not Falcons vs Saints.


I can see that as well but Blank will have to overhaul that team. There’s no receivers, no running game, a bad o-line and a below average defense. He’ll have to sell Watson on a long term plan. Cause if they land him they still aren’t winning anything no time soon

I'm told there's a "we know you. you're our own kind" message being sent.

Watson is a 26 year old kid who may yearn for the people and places he knows and trusts. Ones who will support him no matter what as he's resurrecting his life and career.

Actually he wouldn’t have to sell Watson on a long term plan, it’s much easier than that. Watson was sideways with Texans ownership because they promised him a seat at the table in certain team decisions and reneged on that promise. All Blank has to say is “we are rebuilding and you will have a word in the decisions” and Watson will eat that **** up. He follows that with, “ I am here because I’m the only one that can promise you that seat”… Done deal.

This was my first though when I saw the news about the Falcons being in the mix. It wouldn’t surprise me if part of the reason the Saints got interested is because the Panthers showed interest first.

I don't know. Jameis is capable, but he didn't set the world on fire. Watson is, IMO, a level above.

So until tomorrow at least. And probably then some.

Source: Browns finish meeting with Deshaun Watson, Falcons up next on Wednesday
The Cleveland Browns finished their meeting Tuesday with Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. The Atlanta Falcons are next on the list.

Still remember rookie Watson tearing apart Seattle's LOB Defense.

Regardless, I don't think he comes to us, I think another team will swoop in and get him.

I was talking with my brother who lives in Seattle and he was saying the same thing about him tearing up the Seachicken D. He’s all in on acquiring Watson.

I can't say I am completely on board. I am just afraid the team is going to give up the farm for a guy who is about to be suspended.
