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.

anyways.. hope we land him, if not let’s take Willis #KeepPounding

I tried reasoning with him last night, it doesn’t work.

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

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
