When agreements drag out it is generally because of contractual terms. Watson and his agent are 'probably' looking at an offer from New Orleans and Atlanta with different guarantees and similar but different Ts&Cs regarding conduct. Watson's Houston contract is only relevant for 24hours then the destination team can restructure it so I am sure Watson and his agent are also looking at what the restructure from each team looks like.

As far as Jameis Winston, he has had an offer from New Orleans from earlier in the off-season, him not being a Saint is on him. He is gambling that the Watson thing falls through and New Orleans panics and gives him a better deal.

Yeah, I get it... I understand that its a huge decision and he and his agent need to figure out what makes sense for them. And, maybe if it wasn't between us and ATL, it would be less nerve-wracking... But, come on... I still want him to come here, but most of all, I just wanna know one way or the other, so we can focus on other things.
