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

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?

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
