So let me see if ive got this straight. Tepper is essentially blowing up the team and starting from scratch to get Watson. 

He's willing to give up 4 drafts, yes 4. He's giving up his first pick this draft which is essentially all of it. The 2 following drafts and his first draft of all defense.  Leaving him with all corners and 2 linebackers on defense.  The rest will come from the latter rounds of future drafts I assume. 

So you've got Watson, no oline and whoever they don't trade or cut to gut under the cap left for offense.  They will build around him with lower round picks and whatever free agent they can afford after they pay Watson 40M a year.

Did I miss anything?

 

 

No I think you pretty much covered it. Let’s also note that by the time all of this “building” happens Watson will be a free agent again lol

There is literally no way he isn’t charged tomorrow unless these women are no shows.  Grand Jury is extremely serious.  Any of these women testifying will be taken equally serious.  They could get jail time for lying in this setting 

Fine then we don’t give up anything. Damn dude nobody is saying give that up before he is charged. Yes if he’s cleared I’m making a deal, if u don’t like it pick another team. Damn y’all act like they already traded for him before he goes to court.

I don't think you missed a damn thing. You sumed it up perfectly. I have been a  fan since it was announced that we were getting a team, but this may push me out. This just crazy!

Tepper doesn't care about price, he just wants his QB. 

It will also line up perfectly with Rhule's 7 year plan, since we'll need the next 5 years to rebuild the roster around Watson with no picks, no Chinn/Horn, no Burns/Brown, or whatever we end up parting with. 

 

 

I doubt Watson will want to stick around that long for Tepper.  He didn't want to do it for the Texans.  What makes anyone think he will be down to wait around for them to get their crap together here?

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. 

curious what angle people on here think this scenario will somehow end better than the 4 win, Watson led 2020 Texans…what am i missing 

strip the team, stack the picks, and send them in with zero chance 2022. fire Rhule, draft qb, profit

give up one season and you can have a better situation

We're going to trade Darnold too but we'll pay all his salary.

This. You Madden nerds act like he's going to be a good little boy and play for the team the entire contract, of which we'll only be contenders in the tail end of it.

Grand jury just determines if there is enough evidence for trial. Do you not have mandatory jury duty in the hollow you live in?

      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.
