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.

    • I usually don’t get attached in that way to player issues. I mostly observe. Not gonna go into Cam and Jake because this is going to be long enough already.  I just was so against taking him because I looked at him pre draft - since it was made into such a major crossroads for the team with that trade. I could see right away it was a horrible mistake once Inlooked at his video. And couldn’t believe that pro people overlooked that stuff. Just unbelievable. Still is.  But even pre draft, and certainly post draft and camp… every time I said “hmm, have you guys seen this with his arm, with his footwork, the tippy toe drop back with the square to the line stuff, it all adds time to the play and how is that gonna work against actual NFL defenders? The margins are already so slim even for people with great arms etc etc” I was met with torrents of scorn and ‘processor” and ‘SEC is the NFL’ and everything else they were fed. People wouldn’t open their eyes they just were always telling me to find another team blah blah, idiot, all kinds of hateful poo. While I am being called the hater lol.  That made it bigger than him for me. Way bigger. But, I and all the naysayers have already been proven right. He was not worth the trade or his draft position. That is in the books. Now it is new goalposts. Can he even be salvaged? Was it worth building this offense around him just to save face over the investment? Is he worth the 5th year? The 4th year even? That is what is in doubt now.   
    • Why did Rod healthy scratch Nikishin??
    • Could have been worse than a 1 goal deficit
