No, I get it, but I also understand how easy it would be to give him one chance and cut him before the locker room is affected if he can’t get it together.

I don’t see this as a dumb move by Miami at all. Ignoring Wilson altogether, swapping a 7th this year when it’s much tougher to evaluate players in person for a 7th next year seems like a wise move. Zero risk. Miami gets two lottery tickets to Tennessee’s one. None are likely to hit, but can’t see how it’s a dumb move for Miami.

He did live in Charlotte but they moved away.

Probably looking here: It looks like your link added a zero where it shouldn’t in the dead cap, but idk enough about rookie contracts. Doubt cap hit would go up that dramatically in 4th year though.

I get it regarding our use of tight ends, but I also think Brady would utilize a weapon as a receiving threat like Jordan. Also still don’t think he makes it past the second. If he’s there in the third and we haven’t upgraded the TE position through free agency, it’d be difficult to pass on him. I also really like Hunter Long too.

Highly doubt he makes it past the 2nd, but id be ecstatic if we landed him in the 3rd.

If Brevin Jordan is available in the 2nd, I’d take him.

I have the guy for Day 3...... Isaiah McDuffie, Boston College https://bostoncollege.rivals.com/news/lb-isaiah-mcduffie-enters-name-in-2021-nfl-draft Hard hitter. Tough. Fiery. Top 5 in the country in tackles last year. Would be an excellent pick up in later rounds.

We won’t actually pay any price. Getting our message out there of how bad we do want Watson might help us in being the team Watson eventually picks though.

Question ..... does the no trade clause in Watson’s contract transfer to the team that acquires him by trade?

Everyone passing on him as an option in this thread has seen the OL we have on contract, right?

Trade a 6th for him and his potential to be our starting LG. If it turns out he can’t get it together, cut him. Probably won’t find anyone with his potential on day 3 anyway.

Isn’t this the same as saying what was Watson’s record last year while putting up elite stats?

The answer is whichever one you can not afford to pay a long term extension. Unfortunately, that’s probably Burns, but if they’re getting him then I’d only offer two 1sts and a 3rd.

I like players having mentors on the team, but I put more of the QB development responsibilities on the QB coach and offensive coordinator. I wouldn’t bring a guy on just as a mentor. Imo, Trubisky’s potential is worth the risk if you can get him for cheap.

I’m fully prepared for “Panthers select: Rashawn Slater, Northwestern -Offensive Tackle” and I’d be happy with that. Also will be fine with a trade down, select Darrishaw and add another 2nd/3rd to grab another lineman or maybe Jordan/Freiermuth at TE or Surratt at LB.

Great contribution. Can’t wait for your response when Mitch signs somewhere this offseason for more than you think he’s worth.

Valid point and appreciate the discussion. I’m not saying we’d be able to pull it off, but with the uncertainty surrounding his landing spot next year and his clear ties to our area, I’d try to secure him for as long and as cheap as possible. His potential, even at this point in his career, is on par with QBs some want to sell the farm for to move up in the draft.

Me? Na, not worked up a bit, my man. Just having fun. You’ll have to pardon me if posters who insist my take is dumb and from a dipshit don’t immediately gain my respect. Especially when the same poster can’t decide in two consecutive posts what he thinks the QB we're discussing is worth, yet is sure my take is horrible. I stand by my statement that locking Trubisky up over the next 5 years for backup QB money would be a positive for the Panthers.

Maybe you’ll make up your mind after this thread about how much Mitch is worth. You’ve fluctuated quite a bit here.

You think I would have a different idea outside of this message board?

I tell ya what, we’ll let what actually happens determine who’s dumb here. If Mitch plays next year on a one year, 2-2.5 mil deal, then I’m dumb. If he plays for 5+ mil, then look in the mirror pal.

Ok just read this post where you shifted to 3-5 mil instead of the 2-2.5 in your previous post. Still think you’re off, but you’re already creeping closer to the $5 mil I suggested. So you’re only beef is with the length of the contract. Well, if he plays next year like he played the 2nd half of this season, you will have a steal for four more years at $5 mil per.

The kind that thinks he could still be a legitimate top 15 QB in the league. You think Mitch is going to get a one year, $2 million deal? lol at you

Pooing every one of you sumbeeches for lacking forward thinking. You have a chance to lock up a starting caliber QB about to enter his prime for a back up QB price, and you’re whining over 5 years? Are you worried he’s going to be less than back up QB material over his prime? That would be the only way your argument makes sense. You’re paying him backup QB money. He’d be one of the best backup QBs in the league over the next 5 years. Anyway, please continue to find more gifs instead of actually forming a thought on what backup QB would be better than Mitch.
