Welcome, welcome, how was your stay under that rock for the past few weeks? Good? Good. Remember to wear eye protection until you are acclimated to the light.

Ain't no way anyone is trading for him until this dust settles. Regardless of the legal outcome, the shield still has their own review underway and he may be subject to disciplinary action.

(Emphasis added)

Absolutely fine with me.  This year is a strong QB class at the top.  Next year?  Not so much.

Even assuming this stuff doesn't diminish his trade value in terms of raw compensation, if it's delayed a year, it could hinder the Texans' ability to draft his replacement.

But the longer this set of controversies lingers, the more teams will negotiate down the compensation they will give the Texans for him.

Even worse, he could be suspended.

So not only is it possible the Texans may not get as much for him as they otherwise would have gotten absent these lawsuits and allegations, not only may they have to wait at least another year to draft a viable replacement for him, but they may not be able to move on from him this year, and for at least part of the season, they may be without his services-even if he agreed to play for them this year-because he may be suspended.  Oh yeah, they have no picks until the 3rd round. 

As another poster pointed out in another thread, as it stands now, the Jaguars will have made five (5) picks before the Texans will make their first.
