Would you give up 3 first round picks for Watson?

Watson has said that he wouldn't mind going in Miami.
The dolphins are not thrilled with Tua and they have a boatload of picks including #3.
Look for a trade of Watson to Miami for Tua and a bunch of picks.

I don't know why you think your ignorance is a valid substitute for intelligent thought. We could keep going like this, but it's pointless, so I'll just explain what a no-trade clause is and what it means in the case of Watson and the Texans. Watson has a no-trade clause in his contract, which means any trade involving him would require his approval in addition to the Texans' approval. Watson hates the Texans at this point, so he is probably more concerned with the ability of the team he's going to to put championship caliber talent around him than he is about the Texans' return in the trade. That factor is going to diminish the value of any return Houston will get. Also due to the no-trade clause, Watson effectively has his pick of teams. The Texans don't want to trade him to the Colts, but if Watson publicly states the Colts are the only team to which he's willing to go, the Texans' options narrow to: 1) trade him to the Colts for whatever they can convince Ballard to give up or 2) let Watson retire and get nothing for him. What I said was slightly hyperbolic, but not by much. The Texans probably would let Watson retire before trading him to the Colts for a 7th round pick. If Watson truly is to the point where he will retire before he plays another down for the Texans, he can basically dictate the terms of the trade that sends him out of Houston, and if he hates them as much as he says, he's likely to want to limit their return both to spite them and to maximize the assets available to the team he wants to go to.
