A "no-trade clause" is quite valuable to a player who does not want to be traded...

...it is basically worthless to a player does want to be traded.

Virtually nobody seems to get this...that this is the case it truly baffling.

What are you talking about? It means he has to sign off on any trade. He can kill any trade. If he doesn't want to go somewhere, he isn't going. Period. Players don't push for no trade clause a to absolutely ensure they won't get traded. They push for them to absolutely ensure they won't end up traded to a franchise/situation that they don't want to be in.

also fittermagic doesn't have gelato for brains so we're likely to have cap space for good free agents since it won't be tied up in linebackers and running backs, fffffff

If he pulls off trading for Watson in a deal that includes CMC and Shaq as key pieces of the offer, he should be gifted a percentage of ownership in the franchise.

for everyone late first-rounder we can't use to draft an unproven player we'll have a proven free agent willing to take a pay cut to come play with watson.

i wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on three firsts and i bet fittermagic won't either.

I'd love Watson if we can get him and a line, but this team has holes all over legitimate question how do you get him the backup? He was stellar last season but a QB alone isn't going to have you drafting in the late first he won the same amount of games as Teddy.

Didn't the Seahawks go like 4 or 5 straight years without a 1st round pick. Fitterer knows what the fug he's doing, get you that QB and draft well in 2-7 and those 1sts won't matter. I say it'll be 3 1st round picks and a couple day 2 picks and no players involved... Teddy will get offloaded to a different team.

You're exactly right.

Problem is the Texans have no obligation to trade him...

...in fact, they'd prefer he stay.

The first immutable law of any negotiation is the party who has the least interest in consummating a deal has the upper hand...

...apparently this is lost on just about everyone.

Two seasons I believe, one due to a trade down, They also road the coatails of the Insane 2012 draft they had Irvin/Wagner/Wilson

What's the likely trade ammo it's gonna take?

I LOVE the idea of landing Watson, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm apprehensive of what we might have to give up.

We gonna be giving up more than Wall Street lost on GME this week...

Yeah, a lot of people seem hung up on CMC being involved in the deal but honestly, I'd be more upset about Burns being in the deal. CMC is a helluva player, but elite pass rushers are more valuable than elite RBs and Burns has three more years on his rookie deal. All of that adds up to him probably having more trade value than CMC. 

Have they announced who their defensive coordinator will be? I only ask because they have been a 3-4 defense for years.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year

      That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.

      There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
