You mean CMC's and Shaq's?  Those are new deals.  They are on the books for a while. Also, have you even seen Watson's contract?  Cap friendly this year before hitting ~$40 million a year after that.  But I get it, he's going to come here, rip up his contract and graciously take a huge pay cut just because the Huddle wants it so.

Na, I was talking Luke’s, Short, and a few others. He’ll get paid handsomely regardless. You a salary cap manager? Please tell me more.

I have a feeling CMC would be included in the deal

Works for me if that’s what it takes. Resign Mike Davis and roll with him. He’s proven good enough to carry the load.

But we are more than a QB away.  This team needs about a dozen starters and depth everywhere.  You guys are drinking the Kool-Aid just because this team managed to not look like ass and win a couple of games.  

this is a bit reactionary, good teams aren't really as complete as they appear from the outside

it's about being good at essential spots, this team has some pieces in place in that regard, and the discussion here is centering around another

Let’s get our QB Tepper and Rhule. 

That 3rd pick in the draft would have really helped in this case.

....Now we probably will have to give up CMC to be in contention.

You would be willing to sacrifice a ton of potential talent, and lose a ton of current talent over the next 5-10 years for the few measly games that could have been won this year?

Trading 3 first rounders is in reality losing 2 players dog.  Watson for 8 and we lose 2 mid to late first round players the next 2 drafts.  Its not “a ton of talent”

I'm not sure you understand what having a QB of Deshauns caliber means for a team. We could draft top 5 for the next 5 years and not match it 

So yeah let’s get a good qb and not have anybody else on the team sounds like a winning combination. LMAO

Yep, those are the very ones that are finally giving us some breathing room.

CMC’s best days are clearly behind him. Running backs never sustain the kind of play he achieved in 2019. He’s still a great player,  but he’s definitely on the slow decline. Mike Davis and a running back by committee approach would be a good thing. But if they can find a way to keep CMC AND get Watson....look out!

The irony if the Panthers trade CMC for Watson when they could have just drafted him then lol.

And when those few pieces get injured and the loses start piling up because you have no depth or heaven forbid your high priced big name qb that you traded away all your capital for building to acquire then what?

Lol come on man. CMC is 24 years old. His best days are not behind him, and he is going nowhere.

Yea your right.

They didn't get Gronk, Antonio Brown, Fournette, McCoy, or anyone else spectacular this year to contribute 

All free agents? More reason this can be pulled off. Although, Id leave McCoy on the street.

And the Huddle would have melted down given Cam's situation.  Not saying it would have been a bad move at all, but the Cam crowd would have blasted the organization for giving up on Newton too soon.

Do you mean 3 players? Im assuming you are referring to us trading 3 first rounds picks (which I dont think we will offer more than 2)

 

If that's the case, I dont think we are risking "a ton" of potential talent. Just two players.

It’s Deshaun Watson and you guys would turn him away. He is massive potential actualized, not some maybe draft pick. You act like we won’t be able to draft a soul in the entire draft for 5 years. You act like we can’t sign anyone in FA. You don’t let an elite young QB pass you by. He’s a franchise changing player.
