Deshaun has to know that his contract PLUS losing years of top picks will tank his chances of near term success on a new team.

If I’m him, I pick one team and say I’m only going there. 
 

That should lower the price to a more reasonable level and allow his new team to build around him.

He can do that as long as he doesn't do it publicly.

Letting it be known that you're only willing to play for Team X effectively kills the trade market.

Considering word has come out that he actually requested a trade weeks ago, I think they have probably already identified the team they want to trade him to, and are now working out the fine details.  I expect an announcement that a trade has been agreed to very soon.

I think the official announcement of his trade request is the marker that things are about to get very interesting.  I really do think we have a great shot at landing him.

That assumes they're willing to trade him though. I'm not so sure that's settled.

And to be clear, the Texans weren't the ones who announced this.

What makes anyone think McNair is even capable of getting good value in return for Deshaun? Look at how they've handled this situation so far. 

Would it shock absolutely ANYONE if this franchise messes this up further and gets waayyy less than adequate value that a franchise QB would normally demand?

If I'm the Panthers I'm absolutely taking a shot bc recent history suggests the Texans can't do anything right and we could possibly get him for less than he's worth.

When was the last time a big name player demanded to be traded, and they were not in fact traded?  That ship has sailed, it appears this relationship is beyond saving.  If there were not going to be a trade, they would not have released word that Watson officially requested one.

Again, wasn't the Texans who released this.

As far as their relationship, I don't think it'll ultimately be repaired but that doesn't mean they're not going to try.

Yeah, that dude doesn't work there anymore. Caserio does.

McNair himself wasn't really directly responsible for the prior bad deals, though it's fair to point out he was the numbskull who put Bill O'Brien in charge.

It's more about the long-term than the short-term IMO. A team like the Dolphins or Niners could give up a ton of draft capital and still field a very good team... for a little while. But if you make that trade that was suggested for the Niners giving up 1sts and 2nds for the next three years, yeah that's gonna create a serious talent void in future years that you're gonna be feeling for awhile.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
