Panthers offered "More than a 1st" for Stafford

[CPF4LIFE]

Unbelievable.....giving up a top 10 pick for Stafford?? Is this what we are gonna have to deal with for the GM? Starting off making bone headed decisions. I rather would have kept Hurney.

Is this a surprise? Of course we were!

[TylerDurden]

Well, I would absolutely never have offered the 7th pick for him, and that we did is horrifying...  But, the good news we can take from this is, if we were willing to offer that for Stafford, but the Lions didn't bite, then we will definitely put out one of the best offers for Watson...  and in that scenario, he decides where he wants to go, so we probably have a better chance.

But again, I must reiterate, the only guy on the roster I'm offering them is CMC.  No other young players, especially not DJ or Burns, period.

Do some Huddlers live in a vacuum? Gee whiz!

People have been wondering that for a while. People have met me here. I’m not Cam, but do have reasons outside of the Panthers to be biased when it comes to him. 

You don't post in Wingdings, you're not Cam Newton.

Gotta hope that it was a 2022 1st plus other stuff and Teddy and not 8 overall. 

I think Us, Rams and Bears were all trying to dump bad QB contracts as part of the deal

[Mr. Scot]

A few more details from a couple of sources...

In his latest MMQB, Albert Breer confirms that we did indeed offer the #8 pick...plus a later pick. Also says that ours was the highest draft pick offered (which makes sense because nobody above us was chasing him). Added that it was down to us or Washington before the Rams stepped up their offer.

Peter King added that although Stafford was open to going anywhere except New England, he did prefer Los Angeles or San Francisco. King also believes we may have been willing to add Bridgewater to the deal but isn't dead certain.

Turns out we came pretty close...

Wouldn't have been all that bad a deal either.

Wow

[Panthers8969]

Anyone else concerned Brady and Rhule seem to fall in love with every qb? Career backup becomes a “must have” with a 63m contract when others offered prove It deals. 33 year old qb with back problems was going to be acquired for the 1.08? Does anyone in the building know how to handle the qb position???

Would’ve been a horrendous deal. Top 1 pick to rent stafford for a couple of years? Over under on how many games he misses next year? 3? Dude probably retires after his contract is up

[pantherj]

The desperation in offering a horrible deal to Detroit (if we were on par with WFT) is revealing not only in what little faith we have in Teddy, but how much we don't like the QB options at the 8th pick. The run on QBs before we pick might just force our hand in trying to trade down, or selecting some other position. That would put us in line to possibly draft Mac Jones if he falls to the second round.
