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

[Mage]

GO GET HIM TEPPER

[MVPccaffrey]

One thing I haven't seen discussed:  The Texans are scheduled to play both the Dolphins and Jets next year, but obviously not the Panthers until 2023.  You never know, wanting to avoid that kind of matchup again, which very well could be a priority of a bad owner, could be the marginal difference that tilts things in our favor.

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

How many years will it take us to find an “in his prime” Top-2 quarterback.

WR is overrated anyway.  Robbie at #1 with DJ at #2 and CMC in the slot is an embarrassment of riches.  

But our quarterback sucks.  If they want to include DJ in a Watson deal...I throw that card on the table without even thinking.

We had one.

We wasted him.

And if we give up too much to get this one, there's a good chance we'll waste him too.

It's a good off season to need a QB

Clemson isnt far from Charlotte, those kids come up the road often. They know Charlotte AND the Panthers intimately. Home.

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

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

The longer Watson goes without playing the less the Texans are going to get in a trade for him. That's where Watson has some leverage if he is truly willing to sit out a year (I kinda doubt that, but we'll see how far each side is willing to take it... Watson not playing hurts him too).

No way.  It will likely be top player, second rounder this year and 1st rounder next year.  I’m afraid DJ Moore might be a goner cause he got 1-2 year left and he’s worth a lot and Panthers might not want to pay him.

#8 and a star won't hurt that bad.

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. 

To be fair, he hasn't had a QB with an arm yet, either. Cam was hurt and TB.... well... it's TB.

And if you seriously think we can get him for just that, I've got a nice sized bridge to sell you.

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

He's also under contract for five years and given the position he plays (a year sitting out wouldn't affect his value much) the Texans could play hardball with him and tell him to pound sand (sit out). 

I would love Watson btw I'm terrified bow much we would have to give up and the kind of line he would end up behind.

Rhule LOVES DJ. Recruited him to Temple. Arguably one of our top 3 players. No way he is leaving.
