Pat on the back for myself.  So tired of the dozens of threads bout the Panthers trading for Watson.  I mean how many more can any of us stand.  If it happens cool for y'all.  I'll enjoy playing the hindsight game and talking bout the picks we traded.  We will see who was "stupid" one day.  Or we could win a super bowl every year Watson is under contract.  😆 I have my doubts.  Shid he never did it in Houston.  Hell how many playoff games did he win? That's par.  

Yeah this one will age well. Bye

Not disputing that Rivera overstayed his welcome.  I'm talking bout how people were calling for his head one year before a coach of the year and 15-1 season.   

Guess what if you know anything about football that had nothing to do with Rivera and all about Cam. Thanks for showing me how smart you are!

Unpopular opinion and personal pipe dream.  Watson is a smoke screen.  We are driving up the price and also keeping our profile high.  Smart move would be to let the chips fall where they may and reap the benefits of the market settling.  

Unpopular opinions are fine but I'm afraid this one doesn't make any sense.

If you're hoping somebody above us in the draft order makes a trade for Watson, why would you drive up the price?

That would actually make it less likely that they make that trade.

Ok do any of y'all play poker?  Ok Tepper is at the table with all the other high rollers do ya think he ain't gonna put chips on the table.  He is gonna be involved.  Does that mean he is gonna go all in on the Watson jackpot?  The Jets and Dolphins are the chip leaders and can make bigger pushes but we got a play.  Is it the one we need to make?

This is maybe one of the worst analogies I have read on the Huddle.

If the Jets get Watson, then the Texans will draft Wilson at 2. It doesn’t really change anything for us. Whoever gets a QB, another team has to lose that QB which gives them a need. 

Unless, Darnold is included and the Texans opt to rebuild their garbage OL by drafting Sewell.

So be it, who gives a fug a 25 yr old franchise qb not in his prime we have some money and picks still to work on oline. Gimme a break if salary cap was such an issue Saints wouldn’t have Brees, Thomas, Kamara, etc. Y’all need to learn this isn’t the old nfl.

Snoop Dogg Reaction GIF

Brees is retired...  and the Saints are 70 million over the cap still lol

Yea i've been taking up for a couple of people on here lately but this scenario seriously just doesn't make any sense unfortunately. I have another drug bender in me to be up all night like last time but damn I just can't for this one.

Bioshock it is then

I was totally with you until I thought this through and realized this doesn't benefit us at all

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
