There should be no issue with Watson waiving his trade clause per ESPN.

This could officially be the nail in the coffin for this franchise

I got a feeling it's going to be a new Carolina offense this season that includes terron armstead, Deshaun Watson and a healthy CMC.  We might even see some other new additional pieces depending on what they wanna do with dj Moore

this is a wild concept. Also, its very possible. I think we see BB in the trade with 5 picks

Get it done. Elite QBs do not come on market often.

Serious question- why would Watson leave Houston for the Panthers? 
What would make him think things are better in Carolina…..

Exactly. Plus the situation is and was will be better in almost every other location. All the anti Rhule and the panthers are a dumpster fire posters changing tunes because the 4 guys we have are supposedly the best young D players in NFL. Lol.

If there's any type of league suspension he still would be. 

The league is going to suspend Watson under the personal conduct policy. At least six games. The only way I could see them not suspending him is if they want to count last season as "time served".

How you going to pay DWs enormous contract and pay Armstead 20 mill a year.

One good thing is that Sam Darnold would no longer be the starter.

Who gives a schit if we no longer have picks for years, no defense and no money.

Houston has already paid a big portion of the contract, it states that in the article the OP shared. Thats why they want a king ransom. They are losing a stud player that they already paid for.

It is wild concept but in the great grand scheme of things, if you think about it....this Carolina team had a better left tackle along with a more mobile, competent elite QB they easily go from a 5-12 team to a 9-8 possibly 10-7 playoff team 

[PandaMan]

We’ve pretty much been his last choice all along.  No idea why now he might waive it for us, there are a lot of better teams that are interested

I am not sure that is 100% correct

If I read it correctly, he'll still be owed 30 mill this year.
