I cannot reiterate enough that this is only true on the surface level. At least someone in that front office is at least listening to the offers. 

If they were literally not listening to any calls from other teams, I couldn't imagine a bigger red flag.

Don't get me wrong, if there is any franchise that could possibly be that stupid, it would be the Texans.

I don't think anyone seriously thought that they weren't at least listening. Well....I hope they didn't.

Tom Pelissero said some of the other teams he talked to really believe it.

The Rapoport clip above doesn't exactly paint an encouraging picture either.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports "no one believes" Deshaun Watson will be traded. 

That's via sources "knee deep" in the situation. Rapsheet appears to be referring to teams that might be interested in acquiring the elite young quarterback. Rapoport also reports the Texans do not view either the start of free agency or the draft as "any sort of deadline." Rapsheet believes the drama will last for a "very, very long time." That is consistent with the established facts, as each side continues to dig in, both out in the open and via leaks.

Gonna be a Texas standoff...although I think Watson will win this...his endorsement money will be enough to support him while sitting out...meanwhile team will get tired of attention and media...not to mention additional draft picks for draft are more than enticing..

And not to mention that they still have to count his salary against the cap every year he doesn't play.

Honestly if the Texans do not move him before the draft they are not trading him period.  They are positioning themselves to fight him and let him sit if needed.  

In this scenario the Panthers should consider moving up in the draft at a reasonable price or stay at 8 and pick.  There comes a point where mortgaging your draft future isn't worth it if you aren't in the current position to make it happen.

If we were picking 3rd this would be so much easier but at 8 its is extremely costly and maybe not worth it.

I think moving him in the draft makes more sense than before than prior.  It's knowing what you can do with the first round pick vs guessing.

Definitely a possibility if they don’t trade with the Jets.  If its the Jets why wait?  You choosing anyone but Trevor.  Makes sense if its the Panthers so agree there.

      Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.

      By Basbear · Posted

      It puts more pressure on being right, I always feel trading back is the move 97/100 times. There are times where you fall in love and if that guy is only 7 spots away and the cost is only a 6th or pick swap......why not?? so long the cost is low, Im more willing to do so.  Still one of the best teams at trading back and they torn apart the Panthers on those trades; Pats. You still have to pick the players, that's what happens. In theory you should also add picks, but it does get to point of eight 3rd rounders or two late 1st and a 2nd?? I mean every draft is different, so the talent maybe not fall off a cliff after pick 50. Case by case deal, but vastly I prefer to trade back.....another curve if you trade back and the scouts/coaches have not planned for it. You have to be ready and know the spot you are trading too (everyone). Just like trading out of 1st round two weeks before the draft, that hurts your team as they have been focused on pick 10 and now its wait until pick 42....

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      IDK, just I know these mock drafts are time "wasters" and even more before FA cause that does change a huge portion of the needs. I think Panthers are in on Lloyd, but just like Milton Williams if the numbers get too high they will change course and still sign one of the lesser ILB. I've also seen reports Panthers want boom back as well, but as STer/backup.   Personally Ive put Wallance in the Ickey, Brooks zone....... Acting like he's not on the team and if he shows out during OTAs, mini, and TC GREEEAT!!! I feel Panthers need to sign at least one and draft 1-2....hell even add another Bam-like UDFA in the UD pool too. Trade is on the table, there have been many trades than past years......   Given the team history, the LB corp is saddest ever. Still the league isnt paying ILB and Panthers finally got with that trend. I do feel Evero wants a IBL that can blitz and everyone wants one able to pass cover.  I feel no matter what, Panthers will draft one in the mid rounds and add a couple in the UDFA class.
