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

Yup. I’m all aboard at this point. Was on the fence last week, but Brady sealed it for me. We need Deshaun

So what are your brilliant  solutions  for the o line if Watson gets signed? Wouldn't we be cap strapped and not able to sign any decent  ones in free agency

IF we land a trade for Watson, we would have about 24milion to spend in FA... now if Watson restructures his deal, we can get upwards of 44 million total in FA. This has been broken down in this thread if you want more details, but hopefully this helps.

Rhule is personally telling players who are going to be traded.

Fitterer is meeting up with Tepper with papers in hand in Houston.

 

Ok.  I'll bite.  If you have an in, do you know whether Chinn and Burns are both part of the deal?

If we trade for him I imagine we extend and restructure him.

watson is a free agent in 2026,  I dont think carolina has enough time to replace Rhule, and build a team around Watson with zero draft picks that will entice him to resign.  Were mortgaging the future for a rental.

If we clear that much, I really hope we get in strategically on this first wave of FA.  Bozeman would be great, Justin Reid, re-sign Gilmore, Saffold/Norwell, and find an edge guy if we're losing Burns (which i hope we're not) and Reddick.

it's assumed that a megadeal extension comes of this move

Hey, look on the bright side, it's not like we're used to being in the Playoffs. It'll be same team. different day.

Watson will want out of Charlotte after one season.

This would be a problem that any team Watson goes to would face. There aren't any teams in the hunt with an established coach that looks to be safe going forward. It's more about whether Watson believes in the vision of the franchise or not.
