Whole lot of Deshaun Watson chatter happening out there

Watson's agent is getting desperate and I suspect the trail for all the un-sourced rumors leads back to him -- he's trying to stir up anything he can in an attempt to get the Texans to move off the schneid & clearly nothing is working.

I mean who really wants the guy?

Many teams are set at QB, they don't want him.

Many teams aren't foolish enough to over-pay, they don't want him.

His proclivity to whip-it-out is a DQ w/ many teams, don't want him.

Who is left?

The Texans, that's who.

I expect us to outbid just about anyone.

 

Three 1sts, next year's 2nd, two 3rds, Jeremy Chinn/Jaycee Horn, and Derrick Brown/Brian Burns. I could definitely see that package happening. 

That still might not be enough. I have said Tepper is all in on this, I'm not exaggerating.

I’m thinking 3 1st’s, a 2nd and a 3rd then 2 players…

1) Chinn (they don’t want to deal Burns)

2) Henderson or Taylor

Houston doesn’t have to draft Hamilton or a CB with their 3rd or 6th overall picks and can use them on OL or edge rusher 

Houston can come out of this looking pretty good. 

The 3 1sts hurts, but I’m ok with this. Chinn looked pedestrian last year, plus he wants to play that safety spot, so I don’t really mind him going. Would rather lose Henderson than Taylor. As long as it’s only 1 2nd, then I pull the trigger

So why Seattle?

Have you ever been right about anything on here? It's pretty amazing

I really hope Derrick Brown is the only one of those young guys moved if we make the trade.

This is just getting absurd now.  Watson will not be a Panther.  How you even get the league to approve such a ridiculous deal is crazy.  We aren’t doing anything even near that

Sounds like he's ready to gut the team for a few years to make it happen.  Blow it all up to get his way.

Its insane because someone is trying to think this into reality.  Watson won’t be a Panther ever.  It is never going to happen

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
