LT is a very valuable position, and Brown is one of the best. Houston has to be thinking that if they can get a first for him they essentially traded Brown for Watson, which by the looks of it would very much be a net positive. If they can't, they risk looking like a very weak front office. If the asking price/price they'd take was a 2nd, Brown would already be lacing up in Seattle.
Houston is in a "pay now" or "pay later" dilemma. Brown has an decent in-place contract so why has he chosen to upset the cider cart now? I definitely would NOT trade Geno or Dunlap for a disgruntled tackle. The Bengals had a happy tackle but didn't appreciate him and he walked. Now, they have to pay big time for a used tackle when they could have kept Whit for the same kind of money.
