I read a couple of other stories. The only thing linking us and Watson is Joe "Sources Tell Me" Person. I suspect it's Watsons agent putting noise in stupid people ears.

Jeremy himself said this was coming from someone close to Tepper

You’re right but that’s not what I’m saying. We’ve seen players get 2nd and 3rd chances. If not more. It won’t stop. NFL and fans, the people just don’t want to see that player who committed the crime play again for the same team. Everyone is okay if he goes and play for a different team. 

It depends on the player and the organization.  The NFL plays favorites for sure.  Do they want Watson in the League for the next 10-15 years?  Sure, but I think they want him going place that hasn't had their share of issues with this sort of thing in the past.  Our organization is the poster-child for sexual exploitation/abuse of women in the League.  Probably not the best look for Watson or the League.

Nah. Billionaires win by having the odds always unfairly stacked in their favor.

That's what I'm saying. They have unlimited chances, and practically unlimited leverage.

The Shark Tank is a good example of this on live TV. These guys on that show absolutely rob inventors blind, but it's their "best chance" to make something out of their products. And the guys on that show feign being conservative with their money, when they make these deals every single month without even blinking. It's pocket change to them, literally meaningless amounts of money. And they only have upside in the deals.

And I'm not here to say argue for or against that system. All I'm saying is the filthy rich don't "stay rich" because they take big risks. They take almost no risk, and have the ability do so almost endlessly, with only the ability to "hit the lottery" on the other end. 

That's not what the Panthers have. The Panthers are more like mom and pop playing the state lottery in terms of what they can invest compared to a billionaire.

People have no concept of how much a billion is.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
