If Watson was lukewarm about coming here, why would he be meeting with us when he's already turned down teams like the Seahawks and Eagles?

I'm not even saying he's coming here.  I think he goes to the Saints.  But La Canfora is wrong so often.  Nobody should take what he says at face value

I think Aaron Wilson has a very close source in NO.  Not necessarily reliable, but close. 

yeah he's clearly getting fed from someone in the Aints org who is very confident in their ability to get Watson, which ultimately likely means nothing. his like 10 straight tweets about how great the Aints are for this deal made it obvious

I also wonder if that info is old. When did he “hear” it? When Miami was in it during the season? Recently?

I feel pretty confident if Watson goes to New Orleans he'll be back in legal trouble eventually. Only worse landing spot would be las vegas 

Was thinking something similar earlier.  My first walk down bourbon st was mind blowing.😂  and I'm from Fayetteville, so thats saying something.

@Verge has been resaonably quiet today, I wonder if she has anything new to weigh in. I think she last left it with "It's up to Watson at this point" 

Verge, is it possible Watson will waive his NTC for more than one team?

Seems like he’s already waived it for both us and N.O. If he’s rejected every other interested team save for us 2, that tells me that it’s literally a 2 horse race and will likely be decided tonight.

McClain, @Verge, plenty in Panthers media and others have all said Watson waiving for the Panthers is no issue. It'll all come down to compensation for the Texans, which we seem to be leading in at this point...

Yeah which is really weird because he's in Houston and you'd think he'd want the team to get the best deal which would be ours. He's infatuated with the saints though. Maybe he's a saints fan

    • 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.
    • 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.
