Only if there are conditions. Those conditions being we get picks back for time missed and picks back for players traded if he misses time. 
 

Say we trade a 1,1,1, a 3 and Robby Anderson, and Dante Jackson. 
 

We value Robby at a 4 and Jackson at a 2. 
 

If he misses no time over 2 years it’s solid. If he misses say a season we get half back. If he misses 2 years we get 75% back. If he’s out longer than that it’s all back. If he misses half a season we get 25% back.

Only way I’m doing it.

Houston…

Even if he didn't have all of this baggage, its a bad idea.. How do you fix a line with 1 competent NFL caliber player with little cap room and no draft picks? 

Darnold has been garbage, but the line is head and shoulders the biggest problem on this team- and there is no apparent solution.

I would do it if it didn't include CMC. Trading our only star would be a massive mistake. You don't win championship without stars. Brian Burns is not a star. DJ Moore is not a star. CMC is. You keep him and build around him and Deshaun if any trade goes through. 

Your stars can't help you if they aren't on the field. Watson could still playing high level quarterback in a decade. The chances CMC is still a high level RB in a decade are almost zero. If this were the only consideration, I'd do CMC for Watson, no problem. 

But the situation is far more complicated than that.

At this point I'm in apathy...

I'm not going to stop being a Panthers fan if they do or don't..

My favorite Panther alltime beat the poo out of ppl and got away with it.. And still will be in HOF discussion..

So I can't play moral authority here..

This is me 100%. It is what it is..

I'll cheer for anyone under center.

So your trade the player that has the best work ethic on the team, who is also the #1 leader for a guy who has allegations?! This would be a major shift in terms of locker room chemistry, and one that we should not make. If we're getting Deshaun, we need CMC. DJ Moore is not a leader. We lack massive leadership on offense.

Also, about those injuries. It's too soon to call CMC injury prone. It's not too soon to say that this coaching staff is clueless when it comes to preventing injuries though. The strain could have been avoided.

McCaffrey will have missed 18 of 24 games with injuries since he signed his big deal. He can't help you from the sideline and his "leadership" hasn't seem to have helped much as they've lost the last four games.

Just to state my position clearly: Without the allegations, it's a no-brainer to do CMC for Watson. The allegations make the whole situation complicated.

Too much for a player with serious off the field question marks. I would prefer a more slow but structured rebuild not the mess we’re doing at the moment.

Don't you think u panthers have gambled enough? I say no. Draft one's wait til the dust clears.

      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.
