Honest Question: Why would Watson choose Carolina?

[Billy Love]

Without being sarcastic, and regardless of if you want or don’t want him here. Specifically from Deshaun’s perspective, Please discuss reasons why the Carolina Panthers would be a desirable landing spot.

If the Panthers make the best offer and the Texans accept it. Watson has a no-trade clause but he doesn't have final say.

Wut?

And to answer the question I fear tepper is going to rip up watsons contract to pay him crazy money

[CAPantherFan]

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.

Ability to choose the next coach? lol

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

A lot of Clemson fans in the Carolinas?

The texans have gave Watson 2 teams that have made serious offers so far, us and NO.

They are not going to let him waive his NTC for a low ball offer.

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?
