Panthers confirmed to be in Stafford discussion

[Growl]

if we gave up a top 10 pick for Matt Stafford we'd be the laughing stock of the division

[LinvilleGorge]

Two 2nds. That's my ceiling as a rebuilding team for a 33 year old QB.

That won't be enough. Which is why I hope we're not in the mix.

Breer addressed that, saying he thinks Stafford might want to go to a team in the west like San Francisco or Los Angeles, but doesn't think those teams are in position to make the best offer and Stafford doesn't really have leverage like a no trade clause or any such thing.

His leverage is threatening to retire. 

[Rocky Davis]

Stafford has never had a solid team around him and save Megatron he's never really had as good of receivers as what we have currently.

Stafford can make all the throws and is a certified NFL QB.  If we aren't getting "our" guy in the draft and know that we can't afford Watson then I take Stafford and be extremely happy.

Unless it’s for a reasonable price I’m not really interested in Stafford. Bridgewater and a 2nd, maybe. But damn, if they give up a 1st for Stafford I’ll be really pissed.

Bridgewater and a 2nd would be awesome. I'd do that all day long. Unloading Bridgewater is like getting a mid-round pick back in return.

Yeah, I should say that he has to come at a reasonable price.

That's not great leverage though.

We've got his old QB coach, good players at the skill positions, a very popular young OC and we're believed to be trending in the right direction.

I don't really see Stafford having a problem with being traded here.

If we do happen to get him, who would you guys want at our spot? Slater, Pitts, Parsons?

Breer said the Panthers are "solidly" in the mix, going as far as to predict that Stafford would probably end up either here or in Washington.

He also firmly believes the Lions will get a first rounder in return.

Putting those two things together, if we get him we're likely trading the number eight pick, maybe a little more.

This comes on the heels of the report where Dan Campbell said the talks were "heating up" and it's expected a deal's gonna get done this week.

I still don't think he ends up here but you never know.

He’d be great in Indy, are they in the mix?

If we do get him we probably no longer have that spot. We're probably not drafting in the 1st this year. Then Detroit takes their #7 and our #8 and sends them to Miami for #2 and takes Zach Wilson.

[jfra78]

Maybe we see something like this

Lions get pick 8 and TB

Panthers get Stafford and pick 72

[woahfraze]

I wonder if Detroit would accept next year's first, and since there's no guarantee for them that it would be as high as 8th overall, we'd also throw in this year's 2nd rounder.
