Big Rumor

I also like, legitimately don’t think Watson is getting traded before this next season starts

Yeah makes sense. 
Tua plus two #1s would be awfully tempting. 

for which team? both?

I think Miami has two first this year?  I would think 2 current year 1st would be really strong.

Also, what do you think the chance is the Jets aren't as aggressive as everyone thinks.

If they fall in love with Wilson they might be happy to keep the draft pics, not to mention the $30m in year extra cap.  

They might not be willing to sell the entire farm like I think we are.

Hmm what are you up to Panthers?

[Tbe]

Are we trading these guys to stock up on picks?

Shaq unfollowed the panthers as well. Something is going on

Maybe he's butthurt about Tre being released and/or he's sought clarification on his own situation and hasn't received any guarantees? I don't know, just spit balling.

Maybe he is just getting released.  Is he worth $10m a year?  Can you replace his production for less than that?  Remember he has the 5th highest salary of LBs this year.

My guess, he/agents heard his name was involved trade talks. Called Frittererer or Rhule and they confirmed it.

If it was releasing him Pre-June 1st first does not give me much hope in our new GM. Perhaps he wants to be released now or traded. The difference is 5.5 million if we are just going to cut him today.

There is no other team in the NFL that Watson could bring a major organizational change as big as the Panthers getting him.

The Clemson fans would sell out PSLs and Watson Jerseys in days. Zero chance Watson goes anywhere else if it’s a highest bidder deal. Though, the Lions took a worse offer from the Rams, you never know what could happen.

Again, if the cap drops, there will be many many guys available if you have the cash.  Shaq, KK, too.  They might end up back here on smaller contracts.

I expect a ton of 1 and 2 years deals this offseason.

We can release now and designate one more as June 1. Though it just pushes it to other years so it depends on your goal.

Could be they are testing him. Something like "Could you take a pay cut? Other wise we are looking to trade/cut you.." Egos are huge in the NFL and Rhule spoke highly of Shaq. May hurt to hear you maybe cut or need to take a pay cut. Post June 1 cut looks like the panthers could have the control. Honestly I dont know.

Ya but then he misses the jump on free agency doesn’t he?
