Shaun King, Who was with Tomlin for 3 years, posted this on Twitter...

Do y'all think it has any merit? And what are y'all feelings?

 

I doubt he knows anything, you would think others would be posting if it had any merit... I f We do trade for him it better not be no 3, #1's plus,,,, LOL Goodell would suspend him as soon as we traded for him

 

I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole until all of his issues are behind him. I think he's a great QB, but no way in hell am I trading anything significant until I know for sure that all of his issues and punishments are behind him.

 

What happens on Friday

 

I hated when they brought Vick in...I sure as Heck don't want Watson

 

Is it time to start drinking yet? It will be a very long offseason while certain accusations surface very very quickly.

 

Like I said, Tomlin LOVED Vick! He was in jail, and tortured DOGS! Idk, I'm a Dog Lover... I've had a Dog my whole Life, I've never...not had a Dog...

That....really made me mad/ sad when they brought Vick in....How can anybody hurt, let alone torture a Dog?

I just got home from.exercising with my Dog, now we're chilling watching TV...My best friend!

 

King just trying to get attention by throwing crap against the wall and hoping it sticks.

 

No thanks unless all his legal issues are sorted out and he is cleared. He is almost certainly facing a suspension and even if he can somehow avoid that it would just be a giant distraction all around, never mind what they’d have to give up for a guy who clearly has some serious personal issues.

 

This better not happen!

 

I just can’t see it happening. Too many questions around a suspension and what the cost in terms of picks might be. Other teams will be in on him too I’m sure.

 

Hope they wait for the NFL's Suspension to be made official before trading anything for him.

You never know where this may go as the Houston Texans admin that arranged these massages took the 5th on the advice of counsel during her deposition.

 

Only thing I remember about S. King is when people tried 2 say S. King was a better Qb than Ben ....even after Ben won the SB......LoL.

 

Yes

 

Yeah, I will NEVER hear the end of it my house or vs. my co-workers and fans of other teams. What I’ve had to push back on and sort of defend for over a decade has not been fun.

It was the only silver lining I was looking at being relieved of post Ben era. Now this…?

And I really like Watson as a player, on our team and in our division stacked with 3 young Heisman winners.

::shakes head::

 

My feeling is that the Steelers will go to the draft for the next QB. Probably Wills or Willis or whatever his name is.

 

I can see Watson costing as much or more draft capital than what Denver sent to Seattle. If Watson was a final piece to our puzzle, then by all means wait and see how things go Friday and trade for him. Trading that many picks makes it impossible to build a quality team around him, for the short term and especially the long term. This defense gave up at least 140 points in its four games against the Bengals and Chiefs.

 

I'm not sure his legal problems are going to be over anytime soon. The sheer amount of women accusing him would indicate he is a serial offender and that there are probably more who are waiting to see how the wind blows on this.

 

I'm 100% for it as long as the Texans realise they are trading a damaged commodity and not the prize of the NFL

Why I can see it as possible. TOMLIN/FLORES. Both have pull and the Texans have until the 16th before Watson is guaranteed 35 mill

Friday is the day they are doing depositions to see if the prosecuter will press criminal charges and take him to court. The Texans did their own investigation into all this and must feel he will be cleared to some degree or they would not have been holding out for a kings ransome last year. That does not mean charges won't be pressed.. just that they probably feel he will walk eventually.

Here is were things get interesting for me.. the QB market for him?

Panthers?
Steelers?
Saints?

And who? Dolphins Broncos Washinton all out.

AFC EAST
Buffalo. NO
NE. NO
Miami. OUT
Jets. No. He won't pick jets

AFC NORTH
Cleveland. NO
Pittsburgh. Yes
Cincinnati. No
Baltimore. No

AFC SOUTH
Tennessee. Doubtful
Jacksonville. No
Indianapolis. MAYBE
Houston. OUT

AFC WEST
KC No
Chargers. No
Las Vegas No
Denver. OUT

NFC EAST
Giants Doubtful
WFT. OUT
Dallas. No
Philadelphia Maybe

NFC NORTH
GB. No
Detroit No he won't pick Detroit
Chicago No
Minnesota No

NFC SOUTH
TB. Maybe
Carolina. Yes
New Orleans Yes
Atlanta maybe

NFC WEST
Seattle No
San Francisco No
AZ. No
Rams. No


So Steelers Eagles Panthers Saints?

Im thinking Watson would pick Pitt even if the Texans wan't him in the NFC

HACK

 

I forgot the cap.. the Texans are under the cap by 20ish mill but can go to 70 to 100 mill if they move Watson and Tunsil... better to do that early and have the money for big free agent moves

HACK

 

oh, hell no. this shouldn't be the face of my beloved steelers.
