If he doesn’t want to come here it’s a moot point.  He already has declined to meet us once so it’s not looking good.  

Sources say it’s because he wanted Miami so there was not point. Miami is out and sources are saying he’d be willing to come here. That doesn’t mean we are his first choice. I think it’s likely that the Texans want him to take our offer because it’s apparently the best. I don’t think this is anywhere close to a done deal but I think it’s naive to think we have a zero shot in this situation.

We'll find out shorty I suspect

A dark horse team that would make sense would be Indy.  Get the support of all-world RB Jonathan Taylor  and play in a weak division vs the Jags and Texans x2 per year.  

Why would the Texans trade him to a team in their division? That makes no sense. In NFL even if an opponnent in your division offers you the house, you still take the deal outside of your division.

Texans probably are creaming their pants at the thought of Watson going here. Outside of their division, willing to give up the farm, and we're not close to a Title but Watson will make us better. Perfect for the Texans.

Dude from Houston radio just said it's us, Philly, and the vikings. But yeah, we're bidding against ourselves

Lmao you're still stewing about that? As if running to the media to tell them we are "all in" and "money isn't an issue" gives us more leverage over the Texans right? Have a good Saturday!

At this point I doubt anyone knows jack poo about the situation.  He wants to meet with potential teams and until then anyone who says they have a source or knows what is going on is full of poo.

That wasn't referring to you. But if the shoe fits

And now it's being reported he will have no issue waiving his trade clause to go to us. But, but, we were told he wouldn't want to come to Carolina per the amazing posters on the Huddle.

Yeah. Lot of people in here tripping over themselves to tell us he didn't want to be here and we were the only team interested.

Oh for sure. Now it just comes down to asking price. I've accepted we will give our all in this but I cringe at how we've signaled our desperation which has inevitably driven up the price. I can live with giving up picks I guess but two really good starters on top is steep.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
