A new fire to the Watson drama (per Jason la Canfora)

Lol..Relax. Easterby shouldn’t have the job he has, but that doesn’t make his poor choices contagious.

Besides, Cal is responsible for Easterby. Easterby is just doing what he can with his extremely limited skill set and perspective.

I’m sure we’re all friends with lots of people who would make terrible football execs.

Which I'm fine with.

There having been a rumor about us bringing Easterby in? Not so much.

Easterby and Drummond have a close relationship. That matters folks.

Without reading through the thread, isn't Drummond in our PR department?  Meaning he has no influence on personnel?

VP of Communications & External Affairs.  Ohhh yeahhhhh

If people continue to ignore the smoke they'll be burnt by fire.

Drummond just got promoted to prevent Houston from hiring him as their team president. 

Knew he got promoted. Hadn't heard about the Texans.

But yeah, Drummond isn't a personnel guy.

But his external affairs are quite external to our affairs.

Something you need to try sometime, so you can learn to relax and enjoy the moment like most people do on here right now. Exciting times for Panthers fans

I wonder which one of Drummond and Easterby LaCanforna has been talking to about this?  This is kinda out of the blue if there has not been any chatter going on behind the scenes.  Is Drummond our back channel into Houstons Front Office?

Perhaps Drummond has Easterby's ear, and hes using that to negotiate directly with Cal McNair?  Their new GM probably wouldn't appreciate that very much though.

Ownership and I have disagreed on the whole QB debacle but this is a power move.

I like power moves.

lol to everyone thinking this is not news... For a franchise that is not picking up the phone to hear deals for Watson... we have a connection point within the franchise, let a lone someone with heavy influence.  The expression "its about who you know.." actually plays a role here....

If/when Watson traded to Carolina, Teddy is going to SF.
 

The 49ers have reached out to the Panthers about a potential trade for Teddy Bridgewater. 

The Niners' interest in Bridgewater doesn't necessarily mean they're keen on replacing Jimmy Garoppolo as the team's starter. 49ers general manager John Lynch has said the team needs to upgrade its backup QBs as to avoid a lost season if or when the oft-injured Jimmy G is sidelined. Carolina is among the leaders in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, making Bridgewater expendable if a team has a solid offer for the veteran. There's almost no chance Bridgewater starts for Carolina in 2021.
