Look back in the thread. It's already been shot down.

To be fair, the door is still ajar, pending the outcome of his legal issues (this basically from reading Jones' and Person's tweet).

If no one jumps before those are resolved, and I seriously doubt that they will though possible, then we will likely be in on the deal provided that he is "cleared" and we have no answer at QB.

For now, that door is closed. And there's no guarantee it'll open again.

Multiple sources now saying the same thing...

 

I think later is probably 2022 and that is assuming Watson's legal troubles are resolved by then. Unless something really dramatic happens with his legal cases(like they all disappear suddenly), he's gonna be on the shelf for a while.

If Darnold does well, it's over.

If he doesn't, I think it's more likely we draft our next option.

If we're being boring and realistic then hell no the Panthers are not bringing in Watson. Hell look at the Hardy nightmare. And in the future, assuming Watson is cleared and ready to resume his career, the Panthers would be one of the last teams to be able to acquire him. Just look at what happened with the last QB free agency market. We were EXTREMELY desperate for a free agent QB, and the best we could do was find a QB who no other team wanted. We could never in a million years get Watson if he was in high demand.

Now for the fun side of things. Our only chance of getting Watson is now when other teams DON'T want to take a chance. Now is when we can get a good deal and not have other teams jumping in front of us, or otherwise outsmarting or bidding Fitterer. It's now or pretty much forget about it. It's fun to think about.

      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.
