Though they initially considered Chicago's offer, Seattle is not ready to move on from Russ. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/analysis-why-the-bears-reportedly-offering-the-kitchen-sink-for-russell-wilson-wasnt-enough-for-the-seahawks/

Rashaan is clearly heads and shoulders above the competition.

Welp, it wasn't too long ago when police caught the owner of the Patriots on video soliciting sex acts at "spa" in Florida. Eventually all charges were dropped. Amazing what a good defense team can do for you. I know who I'd be calling if I were Watson. Might even get a new job out of it. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/robert-kraft-prostitution-charges-dropped-florida-prosecutors-n1240964

I'm not gonna discount any possible scenarios this early in the process. However, if it turns out the Texans ownership has anything to do with this, well, that'd have to be about the dumbest move they could've made w/regards to Watson. It is the sort of thing that would not only risk destroying Watson's trade value, it would also risk the ownership's continued control of the Texans franchise.

Could be a diamond in the rough? Welcome and best of luck Darius! Keep pounding!

Buy low, sell high, Tepper and all's good.

RIP Watson playing behind our roster.

Anonymous guy says it's so.... must be true.

I've been paying attention and Panthers aren't going to get Deshaun for a song. There is going to be a significant price to pay. The Texans will likely receive multiple high round draft picks and/or young talented players before they part ways with Watson. Panthers aren't a QB away from contention and Deshaun isn't a silver bullet.

Meh, comparing the talent levels between these two teams reminds me of the old adage: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." We've got a relatively new management so there is reason for hope. Texans have reason for hope as well with their new management. Or, maybe not. Lots is left to the imagination at this point. Bottom line: Just about anything is possible, but if I were Deshaun having to go through all this I'd be holding out for a team that is well positioned for a championship run and is just a QB away.

So if Watson doesn't require a say in management issues, this Mexican Standoff boils down to "the owner lied to me"?

If Watson's end game is to have input on selection of team management it might apply here as well.

Lombardi's basic point is sound, football is still a team sport. Deshaun wasn't good enough to win in Texas due to the lack of talent around him. Well, Carolina might as well be the Texans when it comes to talent level. Giving away a boat load of high draft picks and promising players to win the Watson sweepstakes will only undermine the Panther's ability to secure needed talent at numerous positions for years to come. Under those circumstances, how long will it take before Watson threatens to hold out yet again?

Impact: Another space just opened up on the Panthers bench.

One of my nagging concerns is our new GM comes from a team that has also struggled with constructing a decent Oline to protect their QB. Time will tell. Until then, I'll remain skeptical.

Bill Belichick once again shows why he is considered one of the smartest minds in the league. This signing is ultra low risk with a potential huge upside if Cam can find his Mojo. Meanwhile, it doesn't limit the Patriots in any meaningful way from continuing their search for their next franchise QB.

The truth about this signing is somewhere between what Cam's fans and Cam's haters would have you believe. Cam is getting the opportunity to participate in a full training camp this year w/the Patriots to show what he's got. Meanwhile, the Patriots may continue to look for another QB to compete for the starting job. Best of luck to Cam.

Not gonna lie, this turn of events is pretty discouraging.

FIFY

3 winning seasons out of 9. Cam was a phenomenal pick, but he should be a cautionary tale to those that somehow believe giving away the farm for a franchise QB will result in a better outcome. Football is still a team sport and one player no matter how good can't singlehandedly overcome bad drafts or weak rosters.

Weird, I didn't realize Marty ended up in Dallas.
