How about J.J. Watt as a Panther?

How insane would our defense be with a healthy J.J. Watt.

I don't think we have anything to really offer them but the thought of Houston trading him is insane. 

Why not dream,  What would you give up?

I definitely give up our 1st rounder for him, providing he passes a physical.    I am sure they would want more than just a 1st rounder.

Not sure if that trade would make any sense for Houston. Yeah, they get a dominant TE but a dominant TE who hasn't played a full 16 game season since 2011 and a dominant TE still doesn't do them a lot of good without a QB. Might as well add the most dominant defensive player in the NFL back to an already dominant defense. Watt had been very reliable up until this season. I get the trade for NE. They just won a SB without Gronk and that offense will keep humming along without Gronk, but Watt would be a game changer for their D.

As for us? Hell yeah, I'd love to have Watt! But what would we offer? Maybe Houston has a QB they covet at #8? #8 for JJ Watt... yeah, I'd do it as long as the medicals checked out.

Watt is such a physical player that his body has taken such a beating that I doubt he will have more than a few product years left. His best years are behind him and  will not be as good as he has shown or as healthy. He certainly will not be worth his contract.

I have a feeling that Watt will be retired due to recurring back issues in the next year or two. His back will continue to get worse and worse unfortunately. Once you have surgery on a disc it's only a matter of time until it goes out again....And he's had 2 surgeries on the same level in the last year. One more and he's likely done.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
