That poo hurts thinking about it though huh. I am not sure if they'd consider YGM to be on the level but sure I'd do that if the Texans would.

That's kind of a tough sell for me.

Said elsewhere: Put yourself in their shoes. You're trading away a young franchise quarterback and also looking to replace JJ Watt.

The team you're negotiating with has Brian Burns but offers you Yetur Gross-Matos instead.

What's your reaction?

I can't answer that and be unbiased because as a Panther fan wanting Watson I'd love to have that be the case instead.

But It'd depend on how our pro scouts rate YGM and weigh it compared to the number of picks on offer which is 3 firsts at a minimum but what else is anyone's guess atm.

I feel that the Panthers have a real chance to get this done (if the Texans are willing), but they can't half-azz an offer and stay in contention. 

What is in our favor is he wants to come back to the area badly and Clemson can lobby for us and his no trade which is an obstical in Houston shipping him just anywhere.

Aaron Wilson's "quarterback limbo" article lists three or four teams that Watson is interested in.

It mentions us, but doesn't really say anything about Watson preferring us.

A lot of people read articles and just take that poo as is without even trying to hear what is actually being said. A "here are my(some random ass media person) 4 locations for X player" Then they take that as the player themselves actually wanting to go somewhere.

Really not a surprise considering the complete misses to your basic queries on here. He set up a scenario and asked a question? That means he believes it!

I'd take Aaron Wilson over Mike Florio any day of the week, even if he was saying something I didn't want to hear.

Wilson established himself as one of the best reporters in the NFL back when he was the Ravens insider.

I wouldn’t expect them to do it with him alone, pair two of the three I mentioned up. It’s unlikely I know, I’m just brainstorming.

I hope Tepper doesn't turn into another meddling owner.

Does the new GM and Rhule really want to tie up their entire future into 1 player? It doesn't seem like a risk they would want to take.

then again we never make risks like this and we have 0 superbowls why not just take it and see if we can pull it off we have nothing to lose if we dont get watson this is a 7-9 team at best

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
