CAR has been in the running for Dwatson since the beginning and haven't waivered (they paused while waiting for outcome but never said deals off the table like other teams).

That kind of loyalty may mean a lot to Dwatson - especially if Dwatson believes he's innocent and CAR was the only team that stood by him.

And being closer to family maybe since he grew up in GA.

Wut?

Should be pretty easy to understand. The Panthers make an offer, the Texans accept it. If his options are get traded to the Panthers, or the Texans won't trade him, that makes the decision a lot easier for Deshaun. Who is to say the Texans will accept less than what the Panthers are offering? We don't know what the offers on the table entail.

He doesnt have to waive the  NTC, he holds all the cards.  Houston cannot do anything to him

Yes they can, if the Texans have a team or teams offering more than others they can say waive for that/those team(s) or play for us or don't report and don't get paid at all.

No the Texans don't want to do that they want to get the return for him ASAP but if it's that much of a difference they can absolutely just sit on his rights, and he will most likely give in before they would.

So why didnt they do that this past year?

      Panthers will play starters in first 2 preseason games

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that starters will play in the first two preseason games, stopping just short of admitting he made a mistake last season holding them out. The plan includes playing quarterback Bryce Young, who got off to a historically bad start to the 2024 regular season that got him benched after opening 0-2. Carolina opens their preseason schedule Friday at home against Cleveland, followed by an August 15 road game at Houston and August 21 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.   Canales said he will evaluate after the first two games whether starters will play in the third game. "Kind of going through it last year, we had a mix of veteran players, but [this is] predominantly a pretty young team,'' said Canales, who has at least six new starters to the defense that was the worst in the league a year ago. "I just can't pass up the opportunities. The reps in games are valuable. "[But] it goes to the night before, when guys know they're going to go out there, they've got to make a decision to play football. So it starts the night before with the prep. You start thinking about your plan, taking care of your body, making sure you get your rest.''   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45880676/panthers-starters-play-first-2-preseason-games-says-coach

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      You call the Cowboys purely for information, but we don't have the assets to pull off any realistic trade. Also, even if they would consider any trade, it's more likely they want to do it with an AFC team.
