Gonna need quite a bit when we can't afford to pay Burns, Donte, Reddick, etc. Damn near allowed 600 yards to the Vikings...

Burns is in his third year, at least 2 more years before you have to pay him and yet to make a pro bowl. Reddick is manageable with the increasing cap, donte may be odd man out but considering us trading and drafting for some many corners lately thats a move you should be comfortable with more than any other position on team.

From Scott Fowler's article on the possibility of a trade for Watson:

Quote

In pragmatic terms, I could see Watson’s legal issues taking a season or two to resolve. More importantly, in human terms, it’s not the right move for the Panthers. With all of those outstanding accusations, is that really the message your organization should be sending? A win-at-all-costs, damn-the-torpedoes course of action? It shouldn’t be.

I think if we do somehow end up getting him, then Tepper will have done his homework with the league and verified that there is no suspension on the horizon.  He does not strike me as the type of guy to just hope it goes his way in a situation like this where the stakes are so high. 

That's fair.

I trust Fitter.

Deshaun Watson is going to play football again.  That is a 100% fact.  So we should be okay with the league letting him play, just as long as he doesn't play for our team?  Because that is what it boils down to.  

I don't care if he ever plays another down of football.   Some things are bigger than a damn football game.  He is a dumbass at the very least and a sexual predator at worst.  I will never watch that dude play.

Even if it ends up on the dumbass side? Lot of dumbasses out there on the field and in the world. Gotta let that slide man. Now if its on the sexual predator side, yeah I understand. But you'll never watch him guilty or innocent? Well regardless that's your decision right lol

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
