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

Random guy in SC pretending to be a journalist probably not a solid source 

You can choose to be skeptical, but no need to insult a guy who is establishing a career for himself in journalism. I’ll be more than happy to remove the thread if that’s the case. He’s a local who has connections within the organization (which is how he managed to get an exclusive interview with Pride Jr.) and local media.

Why are people having trouble believing this. Our staff from the owner to the coach have basically said we are looking to upgrade our QB position. A 25 year old pro bowler would definitely be an upgrade and he wants to be traded. We also have an aggressive and involved owner with a new GM who would love to make a big splash. Tepper is invested heavily in this team and Watson in Carolina would be insanely marketable.

Good thread. Thanks for sharing.

Probably because the source is a kid who's apparently either still in or just barely out of high school.

I thought it was the Jets...after it was the Dolphins..

Those are the rumors because they have the draft capital + young QBs to make significant offers. Ultimately, it’s up to Watson since he has a no-trade clause.

Here's a little more established source, with a pretty rational take.

 

Of course there's high interest. Pretty sure there is high interest from every QB-needy team and a few who want to trade their current QB for a future HOFer. But JJ's "whether" is the key. That multiple question is far from settled and tbh, doesn't particularly bode well given that other teams are in much better positions to broker a deal. 

If fans want to believe Watson loves Carolina so much he'll veto every other team, no logic known to humanity will dissuade them. Personally, I would love to have him here, I just don't see it as a very likely option.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
