LOL why is that?  Everybody believes the "hes going to Saints" or "hes going to Falcons" tweets from random people.  Why not us?  And the vast majority of the chatter out there has him ending up in Charlotte, whatever thats worth. 

because if Watson wanted to be traded to the Panthers this would have happened already. Last year at the deadline, or now already. He's busy meeting with all the possible teams because he doesn't want to come to the Panthers. They're probably his 3rd or 4th choice.

That makes no sense bro. You could say the very same thing about every team he’s officially met with. If he just wanted NO he would have just met with NO. If he just wanted Cleveland he would have just met with them. See how what you’re saying makes no sense?

Because the Panthers have been involved and interested in trading for him since last year. Longer than Cleveland, longer than NO. The only other reported team that was interested was Miami and it's been semi-reported Watson didn't want to waive his no-trade clause for the Panthers at the trade deadline. 

The Panthers have been ringing the bell for a year. Watson isn't answering. He's probably seeing the Panthers as a last ditch option if a better team doesn't offer as much in trade.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
