Houston will let Watson rot

Obviously you feel like Watson has no leverage and Texans will bully/charm him into playing for their team again. 

I disagree and let the future be the judge..

It's not your place to speak for me, pal.

In theory the player has some "leverage", but if the Texans are resolute he really doesn't.

Take the "bully" crap and stick it into your ear-hole -- if anyone is doing some "bullying" it is the player and his lame-ass "team" of advisors.

Back to the future...

You don’t know anything, so just STFU

This years draft is ok. Next year too? Now that’s pushing it.

I wouldn't even give up just this year's.

We are way more than just a quarterback away from even being a good team, much less a contender or a Super Bowl team.

This sounds like one of those deals that people look back on five, ten or even twenty plus years from now and laugh about how unforgivably stupid a team was.

Dear Lord, I hope not.

The Texans know this isn't realistic, they're just blustering trying to play hardball with Watson and setting the trade bar high to cover their asses and make sure they don't lose leverage. They haven't shown anything that says they can get good compensation for their players, they let em all walk or traded them for nothing

John McClain, acknowledging that the Texans are still not agreeable to trading Watson, is arguing they should be.

It's time for the Texans to entertain trade offers for Deshaun Watson

Panther fans probably aren't gonna like what he has to say about our chances though.

Why?

Have you not figured out by now McClain writes what the Texans essentially want him to at times?

I assume this is the same McClain that a week ago said there’s no chance they’d trade Watson? Or that he had a better chance of becoming head coach than the Texans trading Watson?

Everyone already knows Carolina is going to have to sell the farm for Watson. 

Houston is awful. They shouldn’t be overly fixated on finding a QB than they should be getting the absolute most for Watson. If the Jets are offering the #2 pick and next years 1st but we are offering 4 1’s - I’m taking the 4 1’s. Putting any young QB into the situation they have going on down there won’t end well.

I've figured out that you don't know jack about John McClain 😆

If he writes what the Texans want him to write, then I guess the Texans must have really wanted to talk about Cal McNair being an idiot a while back given that McClain has been critical of him numerous times (Easterby too).

It's really not that hard to understand. But you seem to really be struggling with the situation as if you dont read anything before reacting.

The same person reported they have no plans to trade and that they should. How is this hard to understand or indicative of being a mouthpiece? It suggests the opposite.

They are only one loss worse than us last season coming off two division wins and a playoff win. Last season was a poo show but besides shitty contracts and front office BS there’s nothing to say on the field they can’t right the ship with a few solid defensive upgrades + JJ Watt replacement. Giving away their star QB and crippling their offense does not achieve any forward momentum for them at the current time. Thus why they have no interest in trading him. Him holding out the entire season is the only way they lose at this point but it sounds like they are willing to call his bluff or this is all just hyperbole. 

Whereas, we have been on a steady decline and even with a new coach was nowhere close to having a “good” team last year. Why would Watson want to come here and why should we want to give up a stupid amount of Capitol for one QB. When we are nowhere close to having a good much less winning team?

He can just say his shoulder hurts or something and collect his entire paycheck. If they cant make him happy, they will have to trade him.

Not how it works.  Team doctors have to diagnose him with something that does not allow him to play.  He cant just say my shoulder hurts and not play, he will not get paid.

Jalen Ramsey did it. Worked fine for him.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
