Per source, Carolina is one of Deshaun Watson’s preferred destinations if traded.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Panthers plan to make a "strong push" for Deshaun Watson. 

Rapsheet reports Carolina will be "aggressive" in pursuit of the elite quarterback. As we know, any team with even a passing need at quarterback should be checking into Watson's availability, but the Panthers are a particularly good fit. They have both an acute need under center and the No. 8 overall pick in the draft. The Texans will surely like the fact that they also reside in the opposite conference, limiting the amount of times Watson will be able to embarrass them in the years to come. Sporting an aggressive front office, the Panthers should be taken seriously if the Texans give into Watson's demand to be dealt

I'm not so sure a freelance sports guy from South Carolina is what I'd call "a solid source".

I know him well enough, and I can say that he wouldn’t be pulling it out of thin air. He has a legit, well-connected source. All he’s saying is that there is mutual interest, which we haven’t heard concretely until now.

And I'm sure he has no interest in generating web traffic for his site or his Twitter.

Sorry dude, but I'm skeptical.

And that’s absolutely fine, but you could say that just about any sports journalist. 

Well there's established sports journalists, and and there's guys with a website and a Twitter.

I'll grant that he may be legit, but inbetween now and late March I expect we'll hear from probably fifty people who know a guy who knows a guy who used to know a guy who worked with a guy who talked to a guy who ran into a guy who saw a guy at an airport that once talked to an acquaintance of Deshaun Watson on Facebook.

Reports like this tend to be stuff I make a mental note of, but don't necessarily take as gospel.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
