Panthers are officially 35 million over the cap with the recent moves. If Darnold is included in the deal and we collect on the 6.1 bonuses from Fox. We will be just under 60 million under the cap. That does not include Watson's cost. 

Atm D4 would cost 35 million and leave us 25million. However, if he is restructured at time of trade.... get your popcorn...

I would guess we could fit Tunsil in as well right?

I dont believe I've shown any emotions. This has been the most discussion worthy that has occurred in months here. Dont hate that I want in the fun of conversing potential outcomes, ha. I get joy in this poo.

Ill be the first to jump into a backup plan thread too if we lose out.

Yeah, If I am honest, I would like Watson but understand that there are benefits if we do not get him--like players and picks.  Imagine, long term, that we lose in 2022.  Fire Rhule, draft a stud QB, and still have cap room for the core.   Is that worse than signing a guy who might miss 1/3 of the regular season games on suspension?  Either way, 2022 is toast.

that would be a good backup plan for us. Baker can most likely be had for a conditional 3rd because of the browns vocality around trading him. They reduced his value.

Exactly. I'm still team LT this draft, but if we're deadset on a rookie QB, go get Baker for less value and let him get rocked this year while we fix our OL over the next 18 months and let the rookie develop.

I don't know that Watson will sign an instant extension, but he almost surely restructures wherever he ends up. It only benefits him and the team. I'd expect to see about $25M converted to a bonus where he goes, spreading it across the remaining four years at around $6-7M per year. Would open up about $15-18M.

I mean, yes. However, I'd think Tepper would advise Scott to go after Teron Armstead to absolutely fug the Saints for going in on Watson. If Armstead signs elsewhere than the saints have to eat 3 years of void years for armstead... that would cost them 20million total in cap. We would be cash strapping them for years to come.

I do wonder if Tepper is helping with Watson's legal case at all. Like paying for resources...

Gotta imagine something like that is happening behind the scenes. I don't think anyone here can disagree... Tepper wants to win and I believe he will empty his personal pockets to do so.

This is why the Saints are in deep trouble if this does not resolve by Wednesday. Armstead is likely to have several massive offers and will not sit on them for long.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
