Peter King on Panthers and Deshaun Watson

[TheSpecialJuan]

• 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.

Absolutely not that’s too much the point of having Watson it to pair him with our play makers

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

Honestly, given the cost, I'd rather roll the dice and draft whatever QB falls to us.

That's not "big news".

No, it's a dumbsh-t clickbait title.

The article itself is worthy of being read and discussed for Peter King's take on the story, but characterizing it as "big news" is bullsh-t when it's really just an analysis of things we already know.

that's not really news but i love it and i want more of it!

[WestPanthers]

So you trade all the weapons to get him and then he whines for no weapons later?

[SizzleBuzz]

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 

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

If there is a trade..you don't trade all your weapons + your draft picks.  Its one or the other.

Anything that makes Mr. Scot whine I love, keep it coming.
