So, basically it would be two 1sts, two 2nds, and two of Burns, Chinn, and Brown.

Sorry, I just can't do it. I'd LOVE to have Watson but I can't do that. That's basically the equivalent of four 1sts and two 2nds.

Why do you guys all assume that two young players means...”we aren’t making a deal unless you give us two 23 year old future pro bowlers on rookie deals.”

They could just as easily be interested in Jackson who could fit scheme. Maybe they liked Gross Matos in the draft? Who knows...

The tweet said young starters. Who else are you offering? They're not taking Shaq's contract. One of the reason they're going to want "young" is the rookie contracts

From what I understand McClain is pretty connected with the Texans.  I doubt he came up with the numbers by himself, someone is probably whispering in his ear.

Ive said all along it will probably take at least a combination of “5” for Watson. Three 1st and 2 players, 4 1st and a player maybe they take two seconds instead of one of the first like McClain is saying.  Maybe they count the #2 overall pick of the Jets as multiple 1st.
 

Either way, all of you holding out this idea that Watson and his so called leverage is going to make trading for him cheaper need to give up on that idea. 
 

I do find it interesting that they are looking for young players also, minimizes the risk of them missing on all of the draft picks.

That does help us though, we definitely  have decent young players, especially on defense that we could include in a trade. 
 

Based on this tweet the starting point for the Panthers would be something like two 1st, 2 2nds, and Burns and Brown or Chinn. 
 

How many people would be happy with that? 

 

good luck with that texans

No thanks, not interested in giving up Brown, Chinn, Burns. If they could take CMC, Shaq, Jackson then all for it.

We went a long time with a old veteran defense who couldnt produce and we finally get some young talent to start over with just to give them up? Nah

Those guys have the potential to be the best at their positions in a couple years.  I dont want to walk away from that. Rather just trade up in the draft.

Why not? We pay Shaq’s contract this year if we trade him. Then he goes on to be the 16th highest paid linebacker in the league next year. They can also cut him post June 1 and only have 3.2 in dead cap the next year. I don’t think contract would have much to do with it.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
