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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
