But he has multiple suitors that would gladly take him. Why shouldn't he maximize his value? 

As long as he’s comfortable continuing to be one of the highest paid most talented QBs to have 1 playoff win for the foreseeable future. Which by all accounts seems to be the case.

I’ve been on here for awhile for news but I’ve never posted. I just get the feeling tepper has been begging him to come here for over a year and he’s still looking to go anywhere else. Panthers probably have the best deal on the table for the texans but watson is still wanting to go somewhere else. Just another disappointing loss as a lifelong panthers fan. But if he isn’t sold on us we need to move on and stop begging for him to want us back

Rhule will 100% be the reason we don’t get DW. We all know Cam told DW all about Rhule and the teams lack of ‘buy in’.

If fans know Watson and Newton are tight, why wouldn't Tepper?  Especially when he's going into trade negotiations with Deshaun?

We can all hate on Rhule, it's well deserved, but the blame rests w/Tepper for continuing to be so clueless as an owner.

    • Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that. 
    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
