There is no way in hell I would offer a trade package like that...for anybody. 

Sure as sh-t not for a guy with major red flags. 

You might not but seeing what the hypotheticals were before this lines up. Obviously I went overboard and don’t see it happening but there has been worse. If he is not in jail, same as Trevor Bauer anything we hear or read about the situation is manufactured “red flags” until the truth comes out. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t and in this case we will see in time what the closest version of the truth is.

No chance this is coming from or being "signaled" by the Texans...

...these "leaks" are straight outta Watson's camp LOL.

The Texans have an ironclad contract with Watson and I believe they intend to force him to honor his side if he wants to ever collect another NFL paycheck.

I'm curious, why did Watson report?  

How does that help his negotiating position?

Thought he was already really rich and doesn't need the money?

1.  Cut bait, trade him for whatever they could get (IF the league would even approve a trade right now) with the trade haul confirming what a bad call they made playing hardball.

2. Continue to play hardball and hope the situation improves creating a better trade scenario for them.

 

3.  Force him to make the decision between honoring the terms of his contract, or, retire.

"If I'm Scott Fitterer, I'm keeping my draft picks, I'm keeping my young stars, and I'm letting Sam Darnold have a chance to prove he can be the starting quarterback in Carolina for years to come. If he fails, so be it. At least you keep your future in tact by not trading an absurd amount of picks or special talents like Brian Burns, Christian McCaffrey, Jeremy Chinn, or others."

He's gotta keep that settlement money coming in.

yep.  and things have gotten super duper quiet in regards to the Watson saga.   Which is odd given who the attorney involved is.

We are one of the teams that consistently keep popping back up in all this.  

Where there is smoke, there is fire.  All I know is that if they do somehow swing this, I hope we somehow manager to keep Brown, Burns, Chinn, Moore and CMC.  Can't neuter the core of this young team to land Watson.  Although I guess 3 1sts and whatever else it takes will do that by itself.  

Since we now have Sam, I am of the mind to just hold tight this year and see what we have with him.  He only cost a 2nd.

Yep and the endorsement income has dried up.  

An entourage can 🔥 a pile of cash real fast...

...not to mention the legal feels, Rusty Hardin requires a $1,000,000 retainer just to get started.  

The pressure is on...

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
