Panthers trade proposal via ESPN

[TheProcess]

Ultimately I would pull the trigger. I would prefer to keep 39 this year, and replace it with our 2022 2nd

This is the year for a LT in the 2nd

If the Jets or Dolphins really want him and see that offer, theyll laugh.

Agree, both of those teams can easily out bid us.  Hopefully Miami doesn't want him and he doesn’t want New York.

I will say tho, if the team pulls it off, that I cannot WAIT for the Huddle accountants to start screaming that because Watson is getting $40M+ in 2022 & 2023 that every throw should be a TD otherwise he "isn't worth it."

He isn't getting $40+ mil at any point in that contract unless he stays in Houston.

Not saying Miami doesn't want him, but they did hire Charlie Frye as their QB coach last week. Charlie and Tua have worked together previously

No . Stay with the plan .

That was the plan before Watson became available

 things changed so the plan changes

How are we building our oline in that scenario?

The Huddle has taught me that OLs don't matter, only franchise QBs do. Because Joe Thomas couldn't get Dan Marino a Super Bowl ring, or something like that.

But fwiw the OL can be held together by retaining Moton and getting two cheap Gs. While Scott isn't a franchise LT, he did better than Little. Speaking of Little, Walker Little might be available in the 3rd and a replacement to free up cash from Paradis can definitely be found in this year's draft.

Why in the hell do people on this board want to give away everything for the next 1-3 years for 1 player? Watson not gonna do poo if we have no picks to get an OL to help him.

[jfra78]

Yeah, you would be a moron not to take that deal

[GoobyPls]

I rather trade up for Wilson or stick at 8 and get Lance.

Just have to be really good at drafting in the 2nd round, 3rd round, 4th round...

That is under the "I'll only go to Carolina" theory. I HOPE that happens but I am willing to bet that Watson has more than one place he would like to go.

I do still believe he will go for less than the media is predicting.

That's under the great deal for us and I don't care about Huston price. The fact is that some of the options Huston has here are terrible for Watson. He may be OK with that but again, not for 3 first. They fugged up and we have a chance of not fixing it for them by doing this bad deal. I wouldn't even do 2 first regardless. Watson has the power here, put Huston in a corner and squeeze.

If your GM can't continue to build around Watson in rounds 2-7, then you have the wrong GM. If 1st round picks were all it took, Marty would have won multiple super bowls as our GM

This

 

They have the #2 and 3 picks overal as starers.

Here we've been talking itd cost 39 and next years 1st to Move just from our 8 spot (which we're offering in this Watson trade) just to get to 3.

 

So now we're canceling 8, 39 and the 2022 1 to match that spot.

Then you compare Teddy to Tua and Darnold.  Tua and Darnold are still young, plus their rookie deals is a no brainer compared to Teddy's.

 

So we're losing in a land slide already just if they offered their 1st 1 and the QB.

Then you put in they have another 1 they can add in this class.  AND the Jets have 2 1s next year if they want him bad enough.

 

 

This is like you or me in a auction for something we like, but David Tepper is across the room bidding.  If Tepper wants it, you or me don't have a shot.

Getting reeeaaal close to it since he has a $35M salary in 2022. Drops to $20M in 2023 but then hikes back up to $32M the two seasons after (roster bonus is covered by the old team, correct? Or is that not covered like signing bonuses?)
