I think its a fair assumption based on everything we have seen from reports around the trade scenario. Also, with Verge's tweet just now, something big is imminent for us. 

Ashton Kutcher is going to hold a press conference and let us know we've been punked and we really fired Matt Rhule.

If we sign a big name aging LT I have to think we at least believe we have Watson in the bag. That's the only way a signing like that would make any sense.

Or... it's an insanely desperate ploy to attempt to make ourselves more palatable to Watson.

What a stupid ass post

Debbie Downer checking in.

You guys realize that is anyone takes on Darnald and his contract, we are the once paying with picks (lex Osweiler). Let's say Darnald is really worth $3M as a backup, that is $15M we need to pay someone to take on. 2nd and a 4th maybe? With a 5th coming back to save some face?

It does make sense to do this a part of a Watson trade to hide just how horrible we handled Darnald. And he had value in Houston as starting option that will suck and guarantee a real high pick next year, but enough of a household name to make a case they are not obviously tanking.

Theres zero chance it costs a 2nd AND a 4th to essentially dump Darnolds contract. Osweiler had 3 years and 54 million left on his contract at a time when the salary cap was 50 million lower than it is today... and he was traded for a 2nd and 6th with a 4th coming back to Houston. 

Darnold has one year left at the same AAV. A 6th is probably what it would cost on the expensive side to dump that contract. Hell, we dumped Teddy with 2 years and 40 million and actually got back a 6th. 

This notion that its going to cost a 2nd and 4th to dump one year of Darnold is absurd. If that was the case the Panthers would just keep him as a sunk cost. They're not going to keep sinking future assets into him when he will not be a Panther regardless in 12 months.

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
