Panthers will "pay any price" for Watson (via Sportsnaut via PFN)

[Waldo]

If this comes down to a bad deal 'at any cost' then I hope those idiots try force him to stay.

I doubt we'd put this out there so the Texans can drive up the price. I wouldn't look too much into this.

Tepper purchased the Panthers at a lesser dollar amount than what his competition was offering! Remember that?

To have a top 5 QB for the next 10 years, I would pay any price.  If I could have paired up Peyton Manning with Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad for the cost of four 1st round picks, I'd have done it in a second.  I firmly believe Watson is that kind of a talent.

I expect the Texans to continue this strategy as long as Watson remains silent. He's at least going to have to say that he isn't playing for them regardless of what they do, before they soften their stance. And of course, if they want to call his bluff, a sit-out may be in order.

Any price = stupid leadership. Thank goodness the Texans won't trade Watson.

You sound more like someone who isn't willing to pay anything, than someone who is willing to analyze the efficacy and value of a trade.

It would serve us no good to make statements like we will pay any price or that we have to have him. I don’t think this is coming from a legit source.

Yeah I doubt our GM or owner would say something like that.... God I hope not.

Well I guess that’s one negotiating tactic

I'm not really worried. Tepper did not get where he is by making dumb deals.

Most businesses don't have hard salary caps. Different ballgame.

Why is everyone taking this so literally? I take it as a sign that we aren't going to be outbid unless someone really earns it!
