Watson is okay with Carolina or Miami. I don't know who he prefers. Our trade package is better. 

Lol it's obvious who he prefers.  Watson didn't come to say he was "willing to wave the no trade clause for other teams" until after the fact that it was reported Carolina was back in the sweepstakes,  right? I mean that only thing that makes sense 🤷‍♂️

You think Burns is included?  I hope not.  I like Donte, too, but I think with the additions of Horn, Henderson, Gilmore, and Taylor, he is expendable now.  I know the earlier rumors were that they wanted defensive starters, and if that's the case, I really hope we come out of it with Derrick Brown, Burns, Chinn, Horn and hopefully Reddick still intact.

The only way I could see a trade happen including players would be something like this

2022 and 2023 1st

DJax

YGM 

Now for the contingencies. If the NFL did choose to suspend Watson for the remainder of this year, we could have the option of voiding the trade and would get the 

return of 1sts

and Houston's 2nd and 4th as compensation for Djax and YGM since they won't likely be able to or want to return.  

If the suspension took the remainder of this year and the 2022 season or longer and the announcement came after the draft, then we would get 2023 2nd and 3rd, and our 23 1st and their 24 1st. It's risky for both teams but it's the only way I see something like this working given the legal issues surrounding Watson.

I don't know player specifics.

Not sure I want to see our trade package at this point.  Spooky stuff.  Jeez…this needs to end one way or the other.  Appreciate all the great info

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
