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.

      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.
