That's a loooooooong list of teams

Super Bowl? The Texans only won a single playoff game with Watson.

We're also going to lose Gilmore, Bouye, Jackson and Reddick. If we lose Reddick and Burns there goes the majority of our pass rush. Losing Gilmore, Bouye, and Jackson would be losing three of our top 4 CBs. Losing Chinn would be losing our best all around defender. Make no mistake about it, our D would be GUTTED.

Elite offense with decent to good defense. We're about to field one of the worst defenses of all time if we end up trading away Burns and Chinn.

Trubisky as a bridge to Howell? Damn... I'm starting to get some strong black and yellow vibes.

Oh wee mayne. Tepper is really gonna offer this guy a GM/HC/QB role.

No idea who that is, but this being true should come as a shock to no one. It'll be hilarious if Tepper's refusal to do the obvious in firing Rhule is what ultimately costs him the QB he so desperately wants. My man is getting chin checked left and right in the NFL.

Ultimately the Texans don't hold the trump card here, Watson does.

Possibly but I doubt it. Ultimately I think he'll pick a favorite pitch and end up there.

It's all about who pitches Watson the best at this point.

How? We've been running for over a year. Our legs are out of gas.

If you're not there already I suggest getting there. It's a lot more entertaining to watch the train wreck with emotional detachment.

Yep. I just want it over ASAP. This new development of Watson wanting to meet with suitors may slow it down though.

The Panthers have become a team that exists simply to help fill out the NFL schedule along with teams like the Lions. It is what it is.

I don't recall him ever playing OG for us, but it does look like he played multiple games at OG for the Bills, both at LG and RG.

He's a RT. That's the one OL position we have solidified.

Nah. I'm souring on basketball overall. The game has just been ruined by soccerization IMO with the comical flopping everywhere. Minimal defense. Just jacking threes. Basketball was hands down my favorite sport growing up, both in terms of playing and watching and now if the Heels aren't playing I'm not watching and I used to be religious about watching UNC. I probably miss a third of the games these days and half of those I honestly just forgot to watch.

Watch desperate Tepper back up the Brinks truck for Jameis out of sheer panic if he misses in Watson.

I think 8 is the perfect number. It doesn't matter how many teams you have, you'll have people screaming about getting snubbed. Hell, you have people screaming about getting snubbed out of a 68 team field in the basketball tournament. I'm sorry, if you're on the bubble of a 68 team field you have zero shot anyway. Shut up.

Of course he likes it. He was never winning the division anyway. Now he has a baked in excuse. "Trust me, Dave. Brady will actually retire this time and now we're ready to get after it! Trust the process!"

The Panthers try desperately for over a year to offer everything to both the Texans and Watson but the Saints seemingly wake up one morning and on a whim say "ya know, we think we'll go get Watson". It'll be a big wake up call for Panthers fans if it happens.

This joint was gonna have a nuclear meltdown if we didn't win the Watson sweepstakes but if we lose and he goes to the Saints? Oh man.

I don't blame the players for utilizing their leverage but I will say that the "super team" era that it spawned in the NBA pretty quickly led to me just tuning the NBA out. I was an avid NBA fan growing up and I bet I haven't watched a full NBA game in at least a decade. If the NFL goes down a similar road I'll tune it out too. Parity is necessary for my interest. If you go into a season with only a small handful of teams having a legit chance what's the point?

Cam had been injury plagued for awhile at that point.

Nope, but he's above average and above average might as well be elite. Teams don't want to roll the dice and move on from above average even though they know they're highly unlikely to win a SB. You can keep your job contending for the playoffs year in and year out but roll the dice on trying to be great and you might end up sucking and get fired.
