He is just telling the Truth. If we get Watson, I dont think CMC is part of the deal just based on contract numbers.

Who knows we maybe willing to eat the dead cap.

I don't think he would be part of the deal either.   Watson will want to come to a place that has weapons and trading CMC would be counterproductive.

Anyone thay wouldn't take dashaun on this team is insane. No matter the cost... You have to have a franchise qb. And he's one of the absolute best

Taking him on the team is easy. It's the "any cost" part that would worry me.

Geoff Schwartz actually got into it with some Panther fans over the idea that Watson alone is enough.

Every team cuts players this time of year. Not sure why any move like this always fires off a flurry of rumors. 

If we end up trading our future for Watson then we'll never finish the rebuild and it will say that what our coach planned for was basically flushed down the toilet because Tepper thought he could buy a Lombardi trophy.

He could have done that last year when Brady was on the market had he wanted to.

The Panthers cut players they didn't want anymore. That's it

My ultimate dream is that lance drops to us at 8 and sits a year. We seem to be a team built to challenge teams after two more offseason/drafts to re tool all the remaining holes. This way we go into 2022 in great shape with cap after Teddy is cut, and a rookie QB wage for another 4 years, along with plenty of money to build around him. 
 

With all that being said, have you heard anything else about a Moton? Is he still asking much more than the Panthers are willing to pay? Seems like it could be a one year rental

They're very much going after Watson but these moves weren't for him. 

Nothing since the new GM. Seems they're going to try and sign him but most likely a FT.

I feel like its a given now that Moton will be back now.

But with the amount of cap $$ opened (I believe I saw we're top 6 in the league)

 

What's your feeling on Curtis Samuel?

Or do you think we may use some of this $$ elsewhere at another position.  Like tapping into this FA CB crop (Patrick Peterson, Xavier Rhodes, etc)

IF we end up getting Watson, my number 1 priority in free agency immediately becomes Trent Williams.

Everything else goes out the window. Properly protecting Watson is priority number 1.

Still don't think Curtis will be here. They already tried - he wants to be more than a WR3

How much do you know about them going after Watson. I mean if they didn’t clear up a lot of that space they couldn’t go after him right?

His cap hit is like $10M next season. They were always moving on from those players. 

We seem to be at that stage in the offseason where if a team official orders coffee, it means we're going after Player X.

Feels like we got to that point earlier than usual this year.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
