No idea how this is all gonna end up. Although the “Saints could never make this work cap wise” and “idk why he’d choose the Saints over us” comments are fantastic lol. Panthers have won 15 games in the last 49. Saints won 9 games last year with 4 different starting QBs. 
 

How I think this all will work, and this is just my guess because I’m not going to pretend like I have any idea what goes on in those buildings. I think the Texans have fielded offers. I’m sure they have a list of offers they would accept/begin negotiations from. I think Watson and his team were probably notified of said offers, and he’s able to get together the list of teams he’d be willing to meet with out of that group. 
 

I don’t see Watson meeting with teams who have offers on the table the Texans wouldn’t accept and I also don’t see him wasting time if it’s not a destination he’d want to end up in. I think it will all come down to who sells him the best. Where he feels like he has the best chance to win/make money. I think he makes the decision and says I’ll waive my NTC for “team x” because him telling the Texans he’ll waive it for a group of teams only starts a bidding war that depletes his next team. That doesn’t help him. 

Pretty much what I figured.

right? Im really curious to why Terron Armstead's name hasnt come up today... even via the Saints, bc according to the saints fan in this thread, the Saints would save 30million on the spot by re-signing him. Why the delay?

That’s not what I said.

Well, given all the sleazy strip joints and massage parlors in New Orleans, I’d say your team has him hands down.

Yea like Jarius Byrd that worked out real well 

I never said they were all great moves man lol. The FA run between 2012-2016 was enough to drive a man crazy lol.

McClain, @Verge, plenty in Panthers media and others have all said Watson waiving for the Panthers is no issue. It'll all come down to compensation for the Texans, which we seem to be leading in at this point...

I don’t believe that’s what’s going on. Obviously, if he’s meeting with them he’s open to waiving the NTC, depending on the meeting. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be meeting with them. These meetings, imo, are for him to figure out who he wants to waive the clause for.

Saints just dont have the cap or picks. They do have the players.

Still Im not happy or sad, cause before the tiny towel stuff I did NOT want to trade mars for him given his two ACLs annd doinng "meh" with Texans in his career.

BEHOLD SOMEONE IS USING THEIR BRAIN!!

 

saints stuff is pure BS. They would have to cut 4 players and trade young talent- Davenport, Ruiz, Mccoy, etc. And give all future draft picks 1sts, 2nds, and even mids. Plus Payton the QB-guru/elite play caller is at home and wants to have a dallas zip code. 

They are just wasting time with fake ideas and theories. Neither carolina or NO makes sense, but carolina is much much much closer to making check marks on the list than NO.  

I didn’t realize there were still folks that just thought the Saints stuff was smoke and mirrors lol. Just because you choose to be willfully ignorant about HOW they can make it work doesn’t mean that they can’t. Youve been pointed in the direction of articles that can help you understand how, in this very thread. You choose not to look. 
 

The saints can get to around $20 mil in cap space without cutting a single player. They can get to over $30 mil by extending Armstead, but I’m not sure they want to do that because of the constant injuries. They can very easily work out an extension with Watson, that lowers that $35 million cap hit this year, to something more manageable. 
 

It’s real simple poo man. They’ve created $70 mil the last few days and haven’t cut anyone. Saints do what they want to get who they want time and time again.

On account of what? More control? Can't be the coaching staff and roster talent

Anybody associated with Texans will say that because Carolina can unequivocally put together the best package lol.

Left off who I think would be 100% in your package, Paulson Adebo

He looked really good last year and fits the bill of what Houston is looking for. Second year players on a cheap deal

Working and just kind of threw that list together but 100% agree. Adebo is a large piece.

Yeah because the Saints Report message board is full of content and discourse based on 100% rational and critical thinking. fug out of here with that lol. 

My guy, I couldn’t tell you the last time I visited that address.

What do you have to offer except old players from with a roster built to win 4 seasons ago. 

You mean like Onyematta? Davenport? Payton Turner? CGJ? Eric McCoy? Caesar Ruiz? 
 

Listen, I get keeping up with more than just one NFL team is tough, but the Saints roster is one of the best in football. I will 100% say I think the Panthers have the ability to put together a better deal for the Texans. The ability to include the #6 pick as well as Burns and Chinn can beat most packages the Saints would be comfortable putting together imo. I get that. Problem is, this isn’t a bidding war. As I said, I don’t think he’s meeting with teams who the Texans wouldn’t take an offer from. He’s gonna meet with the Panthers and with the Saints possibly others because the trade offer is to their liking, imo.

Steal of the draft so far, imo. WR4. Good pick. Marshall is a baller. 

Saints came out with a ton of emtotion and the Panthers made a few mistakes. Close game. I expect the better team to take over in the second half. 

Good game so far fellas!

I ain't skeered! Bring it bitches!

To be fair, Mr. Igo, Drew was injured for the better part of the game against the Bucs. Couldn't get the ball further than about 15 yards downfield, even that was a struggle. Luke Mccown last week was much better than the injured Drew the week before.

Dropping in to say good luck fellas! Panthers should walk with this. Gonna suffer through it anyway, long as this system doesn't take out my TV. Here's to an injury free affair on both sides! See yall after the game! 

Are we talking a scale of 1-10 or "low", "very low", "lowest"?

You don't prove any of that in the preseason.

That sucks fellas. Hopefully it's nothing. Thoughts are with him.

Man I hate injuries!

Preseason is tough for units. I think the only game they actually game plan a little for is the third game. I know they didn't come out of base 43 the first drive with the starters. I try to watch individuals for that reason. Who's winning their line up and beat your man matchup, because that's all a preseason game is. 

It is troubling though, that they looked so bad just trying to line up and beat the guy across. I though there were some positives, but some of the concerns I've had were reaffirmed. 

Gotcha. I went and looked at some pics after I asked. Doesnt look like he's ever had a belly. Nothing wrong with that. Just never noticed before this video. 

This is the first I've looked at Oher. Just wondering, is he a little on the light side? Looks pretty thin in that vine. At least smaller than most tackles I'm used to seeing.

How does Wilson get the blame for that?

Pretty phenomenal play by the defender.

I think Irvin is definitely gone. Never thought much of him anyway. 

Not sure about them being screwed either way though. If Russel Wilson is as average as most people feel, he shouldnt be too hard to replace. Even if you like Wilson, I'm sure you'd be ready to admit the teams success is on the back of the defense. 

I think they'd be foolish to pay him like a top QB. I think if he wants to be paid like that, you let him walk and stack your chips on your defense.

lololololololol 

Same poo I was thinking!

If the Raiders would have listened to anybody with LSU ties, they wouldn't have touched Russel lol.
