[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1094668, member: 7261"] I think you've overvalued Watson in a trade situation. I say that because of other trades of players of his caliber in their final contract year. More importantly, what Watson has done so far in his 4 years in the NFL wouldn't warrant a high 1st round pick for him. This is a dilemma all teams face with players that are viewed as "still developing", as well as those that are coming off a contract that was marred by injuries. What exactly is their future value? Us as Packer fans want to view Christian Watson as a future Pro Bowl Hall of Famer and thus want the Packers to do everything possible to hang on to him. I think a resign or trade of him ultimately depends on the value that he and his agent thinks that he has. Whatever number(s) that is, the Packers probably have been made aware of it and any team that might be interested in trading for Watson, would ultimately become aware of it too. Gute and the Packers will have to decide if those type of numbers are equal to their valuation of Watson, as well as if they can be made to fit within their future cap projections AND.....improve the team. That last one is important to look at in whole. No doubt that Watson's play improves the team, but would his salary? If this was The NBA or MLB, no doubt you resign Watson and move forward. However, with the NFL salary cap being what it is, it is a huge decision for Gute and the Packers. It is also made a lot bigger by the size that such a deal could reach. My hope, the Packers don't do anything right now, unless that offer of a high first comes along, I don't think it will. Watson is playing on a $11M deal in 2026, ride it out and if he stays healthy and becomes so good that you can't let him walk in Free agency, tag him or pay him. [/QUOTE]
