Folks, I think the ship has sailed. We were all in on Watson and then the unthinkable happened. Meanwhile, other organizations had already moved on and were working on other plans. It's time for us to do the same and I doubt the answer is coming in 2021.

On to 2022...

Well, after seeing him get lit up by Demetrius Taylor a few times, I'm not sure that he is the answer.

Yeah, its much better to just bitch and moan about us not getting a top QB in the draft and just mail the season in before its even started....poo, before the draft even happens.  

you're right, we'll be superb if the guard from Minnesota has anything to say about it

We have people who believe Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, Lance, Sewell, Slater, Darrisaw, Surtain, Chase, Waddle, Smith, and maybe Parsons will all be gone by the time we draft at #8.

Yeah, I mean this is a deep draft at OL, so I am not AGAINST the idea of trading down to get more draft capital. But, you don't just trade down out of spite if you have the opportunity to get a high value prospect in a position that is difficult to fill. Quality LT's are probably even more rare than franchise QB's. Top end corner's don't exactly grow on trees either. 

That said, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't be listening to offers if they come my way.

Since Miami and Detroit both need WRs badly, it is very likely that if a QB of our liking is not around at #8, a good T almost has to be.  You would almost have to write a script of trades or teams drafting in positions they don't really need for 4QBs (if we like all 4) and 2 or 3 Ts to be gone in the first 7 picks. 

And if you did that, a CB will be sitting there.

Yep. We can get a good player, most likely. I mean or we could fug it up and draft someone like Parsons, no doubt who would help plug a hole on the roster but also at a position of lower value. 

This is ultimately the Panther way, FWIW.

I mean getting a stud LT this year and drafting Howell next year would have been my best case scenario that didn’t involve us getting Lawrence. In my mind we are still two years away from being truly ready. Give me a LT, CB and fill up the remaining holes on the lines this year. Next year give me a QB and retain our young talent coming to the end of their deals. This is working out brilliantly for me. I would rather have a lock at LT this year than a project QB who may hold this process back even longer.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
