Rapoport: Panthers expected to be in the mix for Watson.

Probably right, I was thinking matching star power.  We have those peices as well

I really expect Donte Jackson or Shaq to be the legitimate candidates. 
 

if we are going after Watson, it would be dumb to offer an offensive asset.

Yeah good luck with that, u really think he knows we are interested. He is just saying us because everyone knows we need a qb

Aren’t you one of the ones that wanted to win for “winning culture” as well? Seems to be a theme. It’s like you guys want the team to be ass or something and have no hope.

That would be awesome. Then we will just go without 2 1st round picks. And have no O line next season or CB’s. We literally have 1 of each under contract if that happens. Super bowl here we come!

If Watson comes here, it's going to be massively expensive. The 2022 and 2023 cap hits are $40 and $42 million. 2021 is a very nice numbered year ($15.9 million) but that balloon payment following is going to be an anchor tied around our necks as we swim into the next season.

Yeah, he's good but no one can take up a third of the salary cap and expect to see much of a team built up around them.

Question: How would you build this team if we traded 3 1st round picks for Watson (or 2 1st round picks and a very good player) along with very little cap (we still owe Teddy) no high draft picks, 1 returning starting O linemen in Paradis, 1 staring CB in Jackson who is in his final year, 1 starting quality LB in Shaq, etc.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
