Good God the 3 picks is hard to swallow but giving up our best two defenders really hurts.  

Question for the Cap guys.  We don't add much to the salary cap off of Burns and Chinn?  I mean that is more money we can bring in replacements for these guys. 

Trading Burns saves about $2M; trading Chinn saves about $750k. Neither is a cap burden on either Houston or Carolina, which is likely why they continue to be mentioned. Trading Brown would incur a slightly negative cap hit, but it is less than $1M.

If Watson is off the board, Jimmy G for next years 2nd? Build the o-line and I think this is a playoff team. 

fug no. He’s just another Teddy/Sam and we’d be throwing away a pick for no reason.

What did the NIners give up for Lance?  

They have up picks for sure, but the thing that worries me most is what kind of contract we would offer Watson immediately. 50-55m a year for 10 years, 300m guaranteed. I don't know that we would, but it wouldn't surprise if we made him the highest paid QB in the NFL.

Today before the Browns meeting. 

Deposition was for just 2 of the 22 civil cases.

Was this morning actually.

The fact that there are so many reports he's "going to Carolina" out there on Twitter makes me think he's definitely not going to the Panthers.

I'd much rather the falcons or saints tank their future and cap to acquire him.  Blank is an idiot may give up 5 firsts

I guarantee that was part of teppers pitch and Watson still isn’t interested

Didn’t see her second tweet. I just read the first one and went to play in traffic.
