They extended Roby’s contract last night which is supposed to free up more space. I just can’t doubt their ability to make stuff happen anymore.

They had to - today at 3:00 pm another 20 million in voidable year dead money hits their books.  Most of that is Armsteads.  I dont see Armstead giving up that guaranteed money as part of a new extension, meaning even if they resign him they’ll eat another 5-10 million on top of that this year and the rest in future years.  
 

plus - what the heck are they going to do with Hill’s contract?  I just don’t get it

They still have about $20M-25M more to go before they can trade for Watson. We’ll see. There’s a path, but it’s a narrow one.

I read they only have to clear their cap before the deadline. So they can absolutely trade for him now and deal with the cap later.

I think people need to prepare themselves that he has a good chance of going there.

My sources tell me Tepper and the Panthers are viewed as the best trade partner by Caserio and the Texans. Houston likes what Carolina has the offer, and how much of it they appear to be willing to offer. 6th overall, 2 other 1st’s, at least one starting caliber player on his rookie deal. Maybe more than that, but that’s the baseline. 

My gut is NO might have an edge, based on the fact that Carolina’s culture/results haven’t been very good in years. Watson might not mind that, but I’d be surprised. 

I know fools take this stuff for gospel but do you have a guesstimate where he lands? I'm boldly saying Carolina. Sure some of it's wishful thinking but Rhule will sell the bs.

Because you embarrassed yourself and the fan base… we don’t need minute by minute stream of consciousness from you.

The deadline is 4 PM today, so no, not really.

Oh poo ok I stand corrected. Will be interesting to see if they make some cap saving moves early today in preparation. If watson doesn’t decide today, their cap moves will tell us if they’re still in it or not.

Either way they’re probably going to have to make some because if they don’t get Watson I assume they’ll be signing Winston

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
