ESPN weighing in on what the Panthers may be thinking.

 

Would you do this?

If the Texans presented us this deal you hit the phuking bid. We can get rid of Teddy and we wouldn’t have to include any of our young studs like Burns, Chinn or Brown. We also wouldn’t have to take a huge dead money cap hit by CMAC being included.

Yes. I'd hate to give up three 1sts but unloading Teddy and his contract would be a plus and getting back a couple of mid-round draft picks would help ease the blow. I'd be trying to hang onto #39 and offer our 3rd instead and trying to get that '23 4th from them up to a 3rd but at the end of the day, I'd do that deal as written.

I just really don't think the Texans will have any interest in Teddy at all. Imagine trading away 25 year old Cam and then having to sell your fanbase on Teddy Bridgewater. Oh wee mayne indeed.

They will draft a QB this year, easy to sell the fanbase on Teddy as a high character backup or bridge for the rook, and they could shed his contract 100% after 1 year. It’s not far-fetched that he’s be included in a potential Watson deal. He just doesn’t add value to it

You would rather trade (2) 1st and a 2nd for an unproven rookie than (3) 1st and a 2nd for a top 5 proven QB just entering his prime

It’s basically swapping first and give up one first.

 

And yes, that’s how much I believe in Wilson as a prospect. I also like that he’s on his rookie contract where it easier to build around him now.

 

BTW I think it will be a lot more than just three first for Watson

I don’t think we’d have to trade that much to get up to #1 but it is a good quandary. Would you trade a lesser package to get Lawrence on a rookie salary or a bigger package to get Watson on a larger salary.

I know Watson is known but I think I’d take a risk on Lawrence and have an extra 1st and $100M to spend over 4 years. If Lawrence does hit his potential, you could end up with a QB just as good (dare I say better) along with 2-3 pro bowl potential guys.

I think we'd have to trade MORE than that to get up to #1. You're probably looking at 1sts and 2nds for the next three years to get the Jets to even take a moment to consider the possibility of trading that pick and Lawrence.

No it's not. That's what most of us assumed Teddy would be for us and most of us still hated it. And that was with us parting with Cam after multiple seasons of serious injury struggles, not a 25 year old in his prime MVP caliber Cam. Texans fans would fuging riot.

It may cost more for Watson, but we are debating whether or not we would accept the offer in thread. 

I can see your points on Wilson, and they are valid. However, it is always a risk with a rookie QB, especially considering Wilson has had shoulder issues. I prefer to give up one extra 1st and take the proven top 5, maybe top 3 QB in the league. I like Wilson as a prospect, but to thonk he can become top 5 in the league is a stretch.

Well, it’s the Jags, but you think and established Watson wouldn’t command more? You might be right. As the Jags, I’d never trade out just because after Bortles and Minshew, having a chance at say the next great QB is worth everything. No guarantees but I’m going all in on that. Damn if that doesn’t hurt to write knowing how much we fubar’d our chance.

I think an elite QB on a rookie contract is the single most valuable asset in the NFL. That's why I think Lawrence/#1 overall would command more. You take the risk of him not planning out, but you have the huge potential reward of having an elite QB on the cheap for the next five years. That's HUGE.

We hated it because it was 2-3 years and to get rid of him before that we'd have to eat a big cap hit and mainly because we don't actually have a concrete plan in place to replace him, even still. If we had drafted Tua or Herbert the perception of the Teddy signing would be significantly different. Texans will have a young QB there to be excited about. 1 season of Teddy with no dead cap after that won't affect that at all. Not even close to comparable.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
