Peter King on Panthers and Deshaun Watson

• CAROLINA PANTHERS. I’d be surprised if the Panthers hadn’t made an offer by now, quite frankly. This is a fit in many ways. Very aggressive new owner (David Tepper), who would move mountains for a franchise QB. It’s not in the AFC, meaning Houston wouldn’t have to see Watson in the playoffs till the Super Bowl. (That would be a Belichick factor.) Because the Panthers are not flush with draft capital, I think they’d have to include a quarterback with some value and at least two very good veteran players. By the way: Cal McNair, I’m sure, would also love the fact that, if the NFL’s scheduling formula stays the same, Watson as a Panther would not play in Houston till the 2027 regular season. Cross-conference matchups happen every four years, meaning Carolina, which played at Houston in 2019, would host the Texans in 2023 and play at Houston in 2027. But that’s pretty low in the pecking order of factors in this trade. Very low.

Peter King Proposal: A 7-for-1 deal. Running back Christian McCaffrey, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, receiver Robbie Anderson and first-round and second-round picks in 2021 (eighth and 39th overall), a first-round pick in 2022 and third-round pick in 2023 in exchange for Watson. Houston might push for the inclusion of 22-year-old pass-rusher Brian Burns as a vital part of any deal, which would be a tough giveaway for coach Matt Rhule. Of course, McCaffrey would be tough too.

Recap:

1. Texans contract w/ DW is ironclad, he's locked up thru 2025.

2. There is no scenario where Texans are better off without DW vs. with him.

3. Texans have no obligation to trade DW.

4. Texans won't trade DW.

5. DW does not have the stones to walk from $146,540,000.

The End.

you're right, well said 

David Newton's headline tomorrow: Panthers will offer Texans their next 9 1st and 2nd round draft picks plus Christian McCaffrey AND Olivia Culpo for Deshaun Watson

    • When the Panthers lose, they typically lose by double digits. This has been a betting trend for the last two years. It’s a fair line. Because if you think the Panthers are gonna cover, you are better off just taking the ML based off precedent. 
    • If I worked for them I would have used the same picture and when I saw you….
    • I see the strengths in Bryce's game on good days. I see the weaknesses on bad days. He definitely has too many bad days at the moment.    But I think the long and the short of the argument is this: It's unquestionably the best thing for the franchise to give him the 5th year, and see what happens. We have to be able to use our available cap space on a position that is not quarterback if we want to be good next year. If Bryce can't do it with what we should be able to spend next year, you move on. I really think it's that simple. If he agrees to a contract that will allow us to continue to put really good pieces around him, on both sides of the ball, that's a different conversation too. I don't think anybody thinks he's worth top QB money right now. And I think he even knows that if he were to take top QB money somewhere else it wouldn't go well.
