We're about to give up EVERYTHING for this guy. But it is what it is. 

At least he's a top five qb. They'll probably fug the draft up anyways

Fair. Only thing that we were excited about going into the Draft was the prospect of drafting a Tackle. Sad times around here, huh?

lol I don’t care what we give up. We have won 5 games three years in a row. We don’t have the talent base a lot of people seem to think we have. Blow it all up.

Exactly. Gutting the team for Watson would have been a great mistake in my opinion. It  would take a lot  more than a Watson QB upgrade to make  the Panthers a great team, considering what they would have to give up to obtain him.

Wonder if Ron is kicking himself for trading for Wentz

I'd like to kick him. Wentz is a disaster.

Forgot about them.  They have experience with all-pro QBs who have been accused of sexual assault.

They can’t afford him. Bucs are -10m in gap right now and saints are -25m and still paying Brees.

im not sure why deshaun would want to go to the saints anyways, they are a year away from total rebuild.

His base salary in 2022 is $35M.  Looking just at the cap, Seattle can afford Watson right now.  They are the only ones that could take his salary without touching anybody else. 

We are second, but would be $6M under water.  People also need to remember we'd have to clear more out than that, and the players being mentioned in a trade are still on their rookie deals so their cap impact is not dramatic.

The Steelers are $2M worse off than us, the Eagles $6M.  Those numbers are still in the realm of possibility without screwing everybody in the process.

Tampa, the Saints, and Vikings in that order are all under water and it would take a lot of work to make room.  Tampa has the most dead cap already, then the Saints.  They have challenges already without even considering Watson's contract.

Is it possible for those bottom three to get themselves into a position to take on a $35M contract this year?  On paper, probably but it will take 6 CPA's and 2 or 3 Economists to figure out how to pull it off.

Crazy thought ... What if Tampa screws up their future cap to get DW causing Brady to unretire since Tampa cannot pay both and gets his trade to San Fran.

Jalen hurts removed “starting qb for the eagles” off his social media bio. Don’t know if that means anything

Watson to the Eagles. Jalen Hurts twitter location just changed to Houston, Texas.

I don't think that helps them much.  Essentially, they are playing that game without the trade with Brady right now.

Somebody that understand the ins and outs of trades and dead money can probably help, but as I read it, his dead cap is mostly unamortized signing bonus right now, to the tune of $32M.  They are eating $8M of that this year and the rest in 2023, at least as it stands right now.  His 2022 salary is only $9M. 

So, depending on the timing of things, bringing him back and trading him may actually cost them a ton.  I think the Watson drama would have to drone on for several months to avoid eating the rest of the bonus in 2022.  It sounds like it might be ending even as we speak.

But again, I might be all wrong on how that works.
