No more Watson threads. Use this one or one of the other 20 existing ones.

The question is... who does he meet first, and does he leave there without verbally agreeing to waive his NTC....

Well at the least this is confirmation that he’ll waive his NTC for us that’s been reported earlier.

doubt he’d meet with us if he wasn’t open to it

How? We've been running for over a year. Our legs are out of gas.

As Natalie and Ellis shared... we are in this for the long haul, the only rush we have is landing Watson. Plus we can already plan our FA with the Watson deciison in the air as Person and Newton shared today.

The fact that we are meeting is a huge step.

Do we win in the end? Who knows but we wouldn’t be meeting if Deshaun wasn’t interested.

He's about to get everything he can ask for from us. Going to be interesting that's for damn sure.

I don't think him meeting with us or anyone for that matter proves he is willing to waive his NTC at all.  In fact it makes more sense that the meetings are to see if he is willing to do so

@Panthercougar68Im wondering if the franchise treats it like a true recruitment pitch. They fly to him or fly him in and have key players in the meeting and have him spend time with former panthers (luke, greg, cam, ryan etc) and then Tepper/Samir/SCott sit down with Watson and give him the run through of plans and intentions. 

They willl most likely review:

1. 2022 FA approach
2. 2023 FA approach
3. The new offensive gameplan
4. forward looking staffing

 

My standing question is "Will deshaun waive it for multiple teams?"

100% Basically they are gonna have to lay out the plan on how they would use him to win and keep things going.

This whole Aaron Rodgers thing has me wondering if other QBs are looking around and saying “yeah I have the talent but how is the team not gonna screw me over”

The NTC jargon is confusing because he can only “technically” waive it for one team but I believe the meeting means he’s agreed to waive it to that team if he likes the pitch.

If we land Watson should we consider trading Darnold to get rid of some of his salary? Even if that means something like trading away a sixth and getting back a seventh.

he is rumored to be in the deal already according to multiple dependable sources.

Just got an ESPN alert stating Watson will be visiting us, the saints, and other teams. My heart dropped because I read it and saw Watson and saints first
