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.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
