Carolina Panthers to be 'aggressive' in pursuit of potential Deshaun Watson trade

This. Other teams have more to give the Texans but Watson gets final say and he may not want to go to those teams. 

Then honestly they fine him his entire salary for next year and try again.

They're not going to give him up for peanuts.

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'DESHAUN WATSON TRADE PROPOSALS via Bill Barnwell TEXANS GET 8th Overall Pick PANTHERS GET 39th Overall Pick QB Deshaun Watson 2022 First-Round Pick 2022 Third-Round Pick 2023 First-Round Pick 2023 Fourth-Round Pick QB Teddy Bridgewater ESPR'

That's a good enough trade to get us into the Wildcard every year for the next 3 of the next 4 years. Then after another 2-3 years of building talent through the draft we'll be able to be a Super Bowl team with Watson around 31 or 32 years of age.

I don’t understand why so many people are saying this.  Deshaun Watson is a Top-3 quarterback not even in his prime.  DJ Moore is easily replaceable in the draft (even mid—round)...and is about to demand elite WR money.  Burns is our most valuable asset, but to get an elite quarterback he is more than expendable.  

Hell, I’d trade both of them and next year’s first if they’d agree to take Teddy’s contract back.  But I don’t think they’d do it without this year’s #8.

For this particular player in this particular instance, I’m fine with selling the farm and trusting that our coaches can hit in the later rounds and free agency.

 

How many years did it take to Carolina to find a #1 receiver?

One other thing people aren’t talking about...the NFL is clearly starting to mimic the NBA.  Superstars can go where they want now.  And superstars attract other superstars.  You trade for Deshaun, renegotiate that contract, and then next thing you know his friends (Hopkins, Watt, etc) want to play with him again.  
 

This is the new NFL.  If a Lebron/Harden/Durant shows you love...you go ALL-IN and figure the details out later.

On the other hand, it's what's turned the NBA into a shitshow of haves and have-nots. Parity? Bwahhhh!

As much as I know everyone love DJ Moore, I'm not so sold on him. I think he's a very good WR, but I'm not sure he's a #1. He doesn't change the game like I expect him too. 

In all honesty, if we got a good deal, and Moore was going the other way, I wouldn't be too upset with getting Watson in the exchange.

With what teams like the Dolphins and Jets can offer, to get our foot in the door we'd probably have to offer the farm, the kitchen sink, God's green earth and everything under the sun.

That's a lot of trust you have. 

DJ will demand elite WR money because that's what he is. With Deshaun throwing him the ball, he will be top 5 easy. His production won't be replaced in the 3rd round. 

Burns is the only hope on defense at this point of no being the worst in the league. Without his pass rushing every QB we face will be standing in the pocket for 5+ seconds... EVERY PLAY.

I'm all for McCaffrey going to Houston, but definitely not Burns.

It's a franchise crippling deal for us - with a roster that needs all the help it can get.

Watson threw for a billion yards last year and still only won 4 games. He'd be in the same situation here.

As you state, the Jets and the Dolphins are perfectly poised to make the trade if they want. I can't imagine many other teams realistically being in with a shot.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
