REPORT: Panthers remain interested in Deshaun Watson trade

[Moo Daeng]

Texans are likely kicking themselves for not trading him a month ago.

Actually there has.

Our own Verge said the "ship has sailed" for now and the Panthers would need for Watson to be exonerated (not likely to happen anytime soon, if it happens at all) before they could agree to trade for him.

John McClain has acknowledged the same. While he says he does believe that Watson could still be traded at some point, it won't be until his issues are resolved which puts the time frame sometime before the trade deadline during the regular season (again, if it happens at all).

Other general sources like Albert Breer and Peter King have echoed the idea that there's really no way anybody can trade for him right now. SI actually just brought out a pretty strongly worded column arguing that point.

And also there was Ben Albright who reportedly listed three teams as having cooled on the idea of trading for Watson, one of them being the Panthers.

So bottom line, whether you believe he's guilty or not guilty, nobody can trade for him right now. Nor should they.

Verge as on here last night and said that it depends on the results.  
 

There is no need to close the thread when it will die on its own. Besides, whenever there is new information, someone will just open another one anyway. When that happens all of the same arguments will be brought up again.

As in "the Panthers would need for Watson to be exonerated (not likely to happen anytime soon, if it happens at all) before they could agree to trade for him."

Very possible.

I keep telling you folks, gonna be Mac Jones in round 1 (about 40% sure--maybe after a brief trade back, maybe at 8.  He would be better that Bwater.

Actually, she said this,

“If he is cleared anytime soon, he is a Panther. Tepper will not rest. 

IF”

I still don’t see a reason to close the thread...yet.

I don't know if I'm ready to go that far yet.

Pretty comfortable saying that, barring a miracle, it's not gonna be Watson.

I've yet to hear Tepper weigh in on this.

Probably. I still think we swing a trade for Sam Darnold

And you won't. That would be tampering.

More than likely for worse. I’d be ok with this if we have a Lance or Fields behind him.

Just now, LinvilleGorge said:

He could "weigh in" with the team's football people, but I'd rather he didn't.

He hasn't weighed in on anything about Watson or even the QB situation since December. There's no chance he's going to say a word now

I said this a month+ ago and got all over for it.
