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.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
