  • that is the very latest on the situation with Shawn Watson and his future in Houston.

  • Well, Green.

  • There's a lot to this, and there's going to be a lot more to this.

  • And it's a little early in the process, considering that the Texans just hired their new general manager, Nick Osario, and they don't even have a head coach yet.

  • But you can begin to see this particular situation unfold as the off season goes on.

  • What we know now is this that, basically, according to Sarah Bar Shop, who covers the Texans for ESPN Com, Shawn Watson has not returned calls from the organization.

  • What we also know is that he's very unhappy with the way the organization has proceeded this off season and has looked back at some of the organizations prior actions.

  • What we can see here is that not only can do Shawn Watson request to trade, but he also could decide to withhold his services and because of the no trade clause in his contract, the Texans have very little control here.

  • Essentially, this is like an N BA situation.

  • This is the Shawn Watson getting to pick where he wants to go This is an MBA style trade if and when the Texans get to the point that they're ready to make it, which they're not right now.

  • But I believe in other people around the league believe they're going to be forced to get to eventually and because that no trade clause exists.

  • If they said, Hey, we want to trade to Shawn Watson to hypothetically Chicago and he said, I don't wanna go to Chicago.

  • I wanna go to Miami.

  • I'm not gonna report to Chicago or I wanna be traded to the Jets.

  • I'm not gonna report to Chicago.

  • You could begin to go through any of the variables in any of the hypotheticals in your mind.

  • This is in a bad place right now.

  • It looks like it's going to continue to go down a bad place, but let's see who the Texans higher as their general manager.

  • Let's see if they're able to repair any of the damage that's been done and let's see how the situation unfolds.

  • But we've talked about this before this greeny.

  • This is gonna be the story of the off season.

  • Oh, no question about it.

  • And Schefty don't play with my emotions again.

  • It's put Adam Schefter is tweet from yesterday.

  • Back up there again about the Jets because for those of you who didn't see it and it had thousands and trillions of likes and favorites and everything else but Schefter tweeted, there's no team out there better position than the New York Jets to put together a compelling trade package for D Shawn Watson.

  • So, obviously, like my my resting heart rate a graze like 40 beats as you have that conversation ahead shifting, Well, let me just say that again.

  • Because the Shawn Watson gets to pick again.

  • The Texan can solicit whatever offers they want, but ultimately, it's going to come to what the Shawn Watson wants.

  • And, you know, she spent a lot of time in New York recently.

  • Is there right now in New York, New Jersey?

  • Maybe that appeals to Ingredient.

  • We know that Miami might appeal to him.

  • So there are two teams, by the way, with the 2nd and 3rd picks in the draft.

  • So it's not difficult to come up with a scenario under which the Jets or the Dolphins could satisfy the Houston Texans.

  • Now the question is, where does the Shawn Watson wanna go?

  • Because again, I believe he influences and dictates it.

  • Once the Texans get to a point that they fully recognize the trouble that they're in with their quarterback, Let me go around the horn really quickly with reaction.

  • Orlowski You were sending some notes yesterday.

  • What is your sense of how this thing goes?

  • Oh, DeShaun Watson will never play for the Houston Texans again.

  • I've felt that way for weeks.

  • This will be one of the biggest organizational mistakes in the history of the NFL.

  • It's the biggest one that I've ever seen.

  • This organization has chosen a guy Jack Easterby, over D Shawn Watson.

  • I mean, think about that and listen.

  • There should be six teams who don't call the Houston Texans.

  • 25 others should.

  • 25 should be calling the Houston Texans right now.

  • Kansas City, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, the Chargers in Buffalo.

  • They don't need to call, and I know since he because the the injury to Joe Burrow scares me a little bit.

  • But at the end of day, everyone should be calling Houston.

  • This is a horrible mistake by this organization, and I'm blessing.

  • I'll say is this greeny?

  • I don't want the narrative out there that this is an ego thing by DESHAUN Watson like he's forcing his way out.

  • This is a terrible display of organizational leadership and disrespect to their best player, and this is the necessary thing for DeShaun Watson, R.

  • C.

  • This is about history.

  • This is about the history of the Houston Texans, the way that they've treated players the way that they've treated African American players.

  • And this is about lying when you come to when you come to your best player and you tell them you're going to be involved in the situation and then you lie to him now things start to feel familiar.

  • You feel like you're going down the same road that you have already been before, that things are not changing.

  • And I think the Shawn Watson not only did a deep dive into the history of his organization, but he did a deep dive into history as a whole, and he knows that this will not be fixed.

  • And you said it last week.

  • Greeny.

  • I never knew Andre Johnson had a voice, and I played against him.

  • So for him to tell the Shawn Watson.

  • You know what?

  • Stand your ground.

  • Be strong.

  • This organization will waste great players that spoke volumes to me.

  • He will never play another down there.

  • Greeny.

  • Schefty mentioned MBA.

  • Well, Shawn Watson has the rich Paul or the clutch sports of agents and David Mullah Guetta.

  • He'll get it done.

  • That's a wrap, right?

  • Give me a quick thought.

  • We'll come back to this in the next hour.

  • Give me a very quick thought.

  • Rex Haven't heard.

  • I think this is absolutely crazy.

  • I mean, but I get it.

  • If there's that, I mean, that bigger divide, they're going to trade them.

  • It sounds crazy.

  • You go your whole career trying to find a franchise quarterback.

  • I never had one.

  • Okay, so I would do everything in my power to keep this guy.

  • But you've already done everything in your power toe.

  • Let him go, and it drives me crazy.

  • You know where he should end up?

  • Greeny.

  • Come to the Big apple right here and be the man we still celebrate.

  • Joe Nemeth for all those type of years and being a jet fan, come to the Big Apple.

  • Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
