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

Its plausible, because if we are trading players in return on this deal and not just draft picks, that creates space as well. No telling who it will be, and there isnt mant options that would give us a shitload of money back, but with one or two more restructures and traded player(s)... D Watson and Armstead could happen. It will take some fancy money moves by Samir

Didnt mean to confuse you, I was just stating that the weighted portion of the contract is paid for. So we could extend his deal and spread the numbers out if we end up landing him.

He probably is going to want a raise if we extend him given the current climate of qb deals.   Also it really doesnt matter if the guaranteed part is paid because we are not going to cut him down the road if we trade for him.  His salary is still going to go against our cap

you have to consider the players we are giving to the texans in the trade too. According to that article, we are in financial shape to make this happen. We still have about 4-5 options on the roster to restructure as well

The article stats we are not in financial shape yet to add his contract.  We still have work to do but its possible but the main point is its not going to be possible to add both watson and TA

Younger known players on rookie contracts are more valuable than first round picks. Because it’s a known quantity vs unknown.

Not if those young players don't fit your scheme or are on the last year of their rookie deals. Having a promising young prospect that you think fits your needs for 3-5 years on a cheap deal beats having a guy that is basically a one year rental.

A raise? he is already being paid as a top5 QB, and he hasnt played in over a year. He wont want a raise, he will just want a chance to make good money and play football.

If we extend him he is most certainly going to want to rework his deal.  He is not going to extend it with the current numbers.  Why would he do that?

The article is pretty optimisitic, and we just restructured another contract moments ago. If there is a  player involved in the trade from our side, we dont need to move any more money around . 

The Panthers, with only about $31 million in cap space and only about $13 million to use toward free agency, can create enough space to make that work.

Right so its going to be tight as it is to get the number to work for watson its going to be impossible to make the TA contract fit

Top 5 Franchise qbs are not. 

Watson is not a top 5 QB at this time.

  • Rogers
  • Allen
  • Herbert
  • Mahomes
  • Burrow
  • Stafford

The above are all better than he is currently. Heck, you could argue that Murray, Prescott, Wilson, and Carr are also better than Watson too.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
