No sorry, the Dolphins have a much better argument. See my post above. I’m not discounting what we have, only putting it in perspective and comparison. ‘Talented’ players. If they’re compelling as trade capital that means they’re NOT compelling for Watson only to the Texans.

The Texans do not have to be interested in Darnold or Tua because they’d likely get the 2 or 3 pick in the draft for a new QB. Not so with 8. That is much more appealing for a franchise that *should* be rebuilding.

You guys can keep fooling yourselves saying the Panthers have just as much to offer as the Jets or Dolphins but if you’re considering the circumstances of the no trade clause and that both the Texans AND Watson will have to be satisfied, the Panthers are not remotely in discussion with those two teams unless Watson himself has a urning desire to only play for the Panthers no matter the cost which I find laughable.

Recent reports have the Dolphins brass focused on moving forward with Tua and not interested in Watson

3 first and CMC sounds cheap atp.  More like 3 first Burns and 2 2nds.

You're bidding against yourself at that level - even though i'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

Fact is, Jets and Dolphins aren't going to pay anywhere near that kind of haul when their staff will just think "**** it, at that price give me Wilson/Fields on a rookie deal".  We'll never have to match, let alone beat an offer like that

And your ok with that price? And for that why not just say Lawrence is up for grabs 2.

Yeah, I know...its gonna be sick in terms of cost.  We will pay it probably.

I’m hoping they are realistic enough to take back Teddy but doubt it.

The thing with the Jets is that they're currently set up to acquire a BUNCH of talent with all their additional picks.

So, theoretically, they could cash all of that in NOW to pick up this uber-Franchise QB monster that you can't possibly compete without. Sure, it slows down their rebuild somewhat (1 talented, guaranteed NFL player at the most important position of need rather than 3-4 potential talented NFL players) , but they're not selling their future for him - they'd just be resetting their Draft capital back to the norm.

The Jets and the Dolphins are the only two places that it makes sense for Watson to go. Everyone else, with that price tag, is selling their future for him. So unless you think the rest of your team is in place for 2-3 years and this guy is going to put you over the top, steer well clear. 

All valid points. I do think we are that close though. Even without CMC, how many games would we have won this year with Watson instead of Teddy. KC and GB were both winnable.
Say we lose one of the Burns, Brown, Chinn, Jackson, YGM, young talent on defense or CMC and 3 first round picks. Ok that’s a huge price, but if we traded next year’s first and our 1st and 2nd to get the Dolphins number 3 pick and select Wilson or Fields most people would be ok with it. So think of it as one additional first rounder and a young player to upgrade Fields into Watson. Seems like a no brainer to me... The big thing is like you stated the Jets or Dolphins could outbid us....

Kyle Crabbs of TDN contradicted me on this one, he has stated that the Dolphins are interested, where as I have heard they are sticking with Tua. His sourcing on the Dolphins is likely more reliable than mine so I would go with that for now.

So this is bad for Panthers right?

Not necessarily, it doesn't really change our plan at all. Can the Dolphins be more aggressive than us in getting Watson? Only time will tell.

Aaron Wilson said the Dolphins are "a popular team on his personal wish list".

Also mentioned that former teammate Kareem Jackson was trying to recruit him to Denver.

Just don’t send a Chinn or Burns. I feel like everyone else can be on the table. 

Sadly from what I have seen Houston doesn't want offensive players they want young defensive players.  I would love to give them YGM but I believe they are going to want Burns, Brown or Chinn. 

Watson for 3st, Burns and  Bridgewater.   They can use Bridgewater to gap whoever they may bring in or draft. 

I just don't see how it can only be NYJ and us.  It seems to me there are or will be others if it gets announced.

The line of thinking is something like Armstead, a LB, Jimmy G, 2-3 1sts. 

If I'm Houston I take that deal. That shortens any rebuild by 2 seasons alone.

Either case is completely irrelevant...

...Watson is not available.
