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.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
