Per Adam Schefter, “In speaking to some teams, I don’t think this is going to deter anyone’s interest in trading for Deshaun Watson”

As I said in the original thread this should NOT deter the Panthers from pursuing Deshaun. If anything they should be more aggressive as other teams know that his value has dropped and compensation for his contract will be less than it was a week ago. Now, if criminal charges appear then the Panthers should back away. 

Eeeehhh, no.

You run the risk of trading away picks and players only to see some other bombshell drop after the deal is done.

Until this comes to some sort of resolution, the Panthers shouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Honestly, nobody should if they're smart.

And if it resolves poorly, welp...

I think that they should and I think that they will. Remember that this is not criminal and is a civil suit. It shouldn’t take long to determine if criminal charges should be filed. Absence of malice, evidence and only hearsay shouldn’t bring criminal charges.
This isn’t Richardson’s team anymore and some times there is some risk involved with the decision making. 
I guarantee you that Caserio’s old boss  is considering a trade with lowered compensation as we speak.

The fact that this used to be Richardson's team is a big reason why we shouldn't.

It being investigated under the NFL's personal conduct policy is another big reason. The personal conduct policy doesn't require proof, only that the accusations be believable.

Trading for him with what's hanging over his head now would be crazy, and not a good kind of crazy.

For these specific accusations to be false, then all of the women making them would have to be liars.

There's really no way around that.

So your calling Deshaun a liar and think there is no way the women was paid off. It don’t always go one way is what I’m trying to say but you keep saying that like it’s truth. SMH

I'm not calling him a liar because I don't know whether he's guilty or not.

But the reality is that he might be.

He might also be innocent, but either way, having nine or more accusers is a difficult thing to get past.

Yes if Deshaun sees they are still willing to pursue him and trust him, that will put us over the top. JS

Lol they will kick him out of the league with no proof. Damn these people are hilarious today!

Yeah these accusers are not making anything up at all, let’s not say they could be falsifying stuff about Watson wow. Seems a little one sided to me?

This being a conspiracy at this point would be obviously unprecedented and undoubtedly the biggest scandal/conspiracy in (sports) history.  
 

no way we trade numerous first round picks and starters for a guy who could have very well played his last down in the nfl. With that being said, this entire saga smells fishy and calling it odd would be an understatement.

Accusations hurt, Watson is going to have to deal with this situation before anyone trades for him.

It reeks. The lawyer has zero credibility, the timing is amazing, the size of it all makes it hard to believe no one knew and the entire situation was a dumpster fire before this dropped.

Houston is making some history however this breaks, and it all looks bad.

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.
