Would you give up 3 first round picks for Watson?

Watson could literally say to Texans ownership, "I will only take a trade to the Colts," and their options would be trade him here for what they could get from Ballard, or let him retire and get nothing. Knowing that the Texans have no negotiating position, I wouldn't offer more than a 2 for him. After all, Watson doesn't want his new team crippled for acquiring him, right? If Watson truly is at the point where he won't go back to the Texans, he won't care what they get for him, either. I say let him force them to give him away to the Colts if he wants to come to Indy.

He is not retiring, that is delusional with the amount of money he would lose. He could just show up and not give a shit and collect a lot of money. Your whole premise is ridiculous.
