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.

Saints showed interest in him last season.

Panther selling points;

We have CMC, Moore

Watson likes the area

Not really much else

Saints selling points:

Kamara 

Thomas

Mark Ingram & Bradley Roby (former teammates...I'm sure that Ingram has been on the phone with him)

Watson "liked" several of MT's social media posts.

New Orleans.

Saints are driving up the price...it's what I would do in this situation.

Tepper has no leverage...he can't keep his mouth shut...or the FO is so leaky trying to turn the fans against the move...I'm not sure which.

Ingram isn't a selling point nor is Roby.  Thomas hasn't been healthy in like 2 years.  What players would the Saints be giving up??

again, ask yourself why would Watson choose Carolina? Our geographical proximity to Clemson or his hometown is not enough. Watson knows Rhule is a clown too (he's seen how Cam was treated), and he doesn't want to play here.  Can you blame him?

More desirable city: Atlanta

Closer to home: Atlanta

Better coaching staff: Cleveland

Better ownership: Toss up

Better roster: Toss up

Better chance of making the Playoffs: Toss up

 

It's pretty much just a where does he want to live during the season, and which team will take him farther scenario, IMHO.
