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

[Wolfcop]

If I traded CMC for Watson, it would not include much more. Maybe 1 first round pick. I'm not giving you CMC AND a slew of picks. Having CMC is like having 2 high level starters in 1 player.

His value isn't going to change tremendously over the course of a year, especially if they take less now then they should.  There will always be a market for elite QBs.  A players earning window is somewhat short also so if he sits out too long he will cut into his own earnings.

I do agree that between now and draft night will probably be the most likely time to trade him but my only point is if I'm the GM of the Texans I will let him sit out before I take a bad deal for him period.

You are trying to compare an offer next year to a good offer this year. I'm saying before I would take a bad offer this year I will keep him and let him sit at home.  I can get a bad offer next year also.

 

 

There will not be bad offers this year. They’ll get an absolute haul for him.

If the team has no leverage as you say why would the team that Watson wants to go to offer that much.

If Watson only wants to go to say the 49ers and if he really has all the leverage as you say why would they give market value for him?

If they do get a good offer than the Texans actually do have leverage and that proves my point.

this is at its core a labor dispute and i expect a shitty organization like houston to try to exert control. what watson is attempting to do could change things for players.

I am a severe skeptic, but here is how I would go about it if we had to trade players and picks.

#8 overall, Shaq Thompson, and maybe a first rounder in 2022.  That would give Houston a place at the table and a pick to use to trade up (#8 overall + first rounder in 2022) to move up with Miami)---Houston gets a QB and a solid LB.

The Panthers would have to dump some cap, so Thompson is probably the only marketable cap figure we'd be willing to part with.  I think Houston would get a better deal.

Besides cmc burns dj, if we were to somehow land Watson I would go absolutely Andrew Glouberman all over my neighborhood

I hate to tell you, but racism isn't exclusive to the Carolinas. And neither is unfair criticism of players regardless of race. Some people are stupid and stupid people are everywhere.

This is true, but the one thing you aren’t going to go do is go play for the racist city that fuged over your mentor.

Is there a package that doesn’t include future 1st picks?  I think we can throw in Teddy and 2nd instead

Joe Brady was said to have a good interview in Houston. The Houston job is still open. Joe Brady is still available to be hired as a head coach. Joe Brady likes Teddy Bridgewater. I see a perfect scenario! 

Oh, and you can still draft pieces to build your team in more rounds than the first. If first round picks were all it took, Marty Hurney would be an elite GM, and well....

No.

 I know that I am late to the party, but the Jets and Dolphins--are they not 2 teams that have confirmed an intent to stay with their struggling first round draft pick QBs?  (Not sure what Philly is saying about Wentz/Hurts).

This seems to be speculation based on an assumption that Houston would be drafting a QB this year--he knew Jax is not trading.  Atlanta has Ryan for now, Cincinnati wants Sewell, one might expect.  Philly is a very wild card, but they could trade Wentz for Watson--or Hurts.  Detroit?  Nah.  So Carolina is an obvious choice/guess.
