Panthers DO NOT Have the Ammunition to Pull Off a Watson Deal

People get paid to write three paragraphs of opinion that 1) is pure speculation and 2) doesn't provide any detailed supporting evidence for the assertion? I'm in the wrong line of work.

He may be right or he may be wrong, but how about a breakdown of our available assets and analysis of why they wouldn't be enough?  We have plenty in the coffer should we decide to use them.  Just because Miami or some other team has more doesn't mean they are willing to use them all.

He's assuming the Texans would trade Watson within the AFC. He's also overlooking a lot of quality pieces we have. CMC, Burns, Chinn, and Moore would all be valuable trade pieces. 

I normally don't agree with this guy, but he actually makes sense this time.  So you are saying get Watson and trade what few pieces that we have, the very ones that made us somewhat competitive last year.

They drafted him.  They didn't trade the farm for him when they were rebuilding.

Rodgers won his super bowl outside of his Rookie contract and the Packers drafted a 1st round bust in Harrell in 2007 didn't have a 1st round pick in 2008 and Rodgers signed his mega deal in 2010. Then drafted another bust in 2011.

So what I am seeing is.... The Packers spent a shitload of money on QB, and won a super bowl with a bust and no first round pick. The proceeded to bust on the next year's pick.

No, I'm saying he wrote a very selective article. He didn't paint an accurate picture.

The Packers, Chiefs and Bills can afford to because they drafted their franchise QB's, duh.

And two of those 3 have signed their qbs to mega deals. PM has a quarter of a billion dollar contract.
 

I was against this at first but the more I think about it I’d do it. 2022 and 2023 are his big cap years and we still will have our young talented players under rookie contracts. The only player we’d be looking at to extend is Burns and DJ. We’d have to draft extremely well in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and I wouldn’t be opposed to trading down in those rounds to get more picks. 
 

do some of y’all watch Watson play? He’s a top 5 qb and is 25 years old. We could be looking at our qb position being locked up for the next decade. I’m a huge trey Lance fan and where we pick is more than likely gonna be him unless we move up. He is a bigger risk then this. And we’d have to give away picks to move up for an unknown QB if we wanted Lawrence, Wilson or fields. Watson is a known elite qb. This opportunity literally never happens. I’m in.

If it's anything like the site I write for, yes, you do get paid, but it's not close to enough to live on.

      Panthers to work out UFL OPOY Hakeem Butler

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.

      They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
