Not DW related but for anyone questioning @Vergeshe called Randy Gregory Dallas deal last night.

The only people questioning her are the ones who don’t want this deal done. She’s been too right on multiple things over the years to think she’s even remotely lying. And she never frames things as certainties. But she gives scoops before even media outlets do.

It's not just those two dudes. It's a LOT more. You can't trade three 1sts and possibly more draft assets plus your two best young defenders. At some point the cost becomes too much to bear.

If you're willing to do the rest, you don't let one of those guys be your deal-breaker unless you don't really want to do the rest in the first place.

I expect the following dominos to fall once the trade happens:

Land DW
Sign Terron Armstead
Sign Cam Newton to a one year deal (insurance for suspension)
Sign Aj Klein, jack or littleton
Bring back Dante Jackson/Gilmore

If we do all that, we're a playoff team next year

Personally hoping this deal falls through. This is not the way to build a franchise for long term success.  Or even short term success for that matter. 

This is a fairly unprecedented situation. When is the last time a 26 year old franchise QB demanded a trade?

Ohh it can absolutely be done. Rams haven’t had high picks for years. However, their organization is sound. They are good at drafting later rounds and finding free agents. Have Fit/Rhule proven that level of competence to where we can trust them in building a team like that? I don’t

Putting aside the moral implications of going after DW, if the deal is 3 1sts and Burns/Chinn, I'm ok with it. Besides #6, you're hoping the 1st next year is a mid-round pick (depending on length of a potential suspension) and the 1st in 2024 is a late round pick because DW is putting the Panthers in the playoffs. 

As much as I like Chinn and Burns, getting a franchise QB in his mid-20s with 10+ years of his best ball ahead of him is a price I'm gladly wiling to give up. At the end of the day, Chinn is a OLB/box safety and Burns is an edge rusher that gets abused in the run game. I think it's pretty easy to replace 60-70% of that production with other signings.

    • There's really two parts to this question.   1) What does Bryce have to do to prove that he was worthy of the 1st overall pick (and the Panthers trade up to acquire said pick) and be seen as the franchise QB/face of the organization for the foreseeable future?  2) What does Bryce have to do to be a serviceable starter past this season and allow the team to be in a position of not being desperate in their next try at acquiring a franchise QB? I don't think Bryce is capable of ever living up to the expectation of the 1st overall pick and being a franchise QB.  His physical limitations will not allow him to ever be that QB.   He could, however, show enough to be a placeholder.  Not what you want out of this deal but it's better than him being released at the end of the season.  Minimum of 6-8 wins with him showing he can lead the offense (scoring around 17-24 points per game on offense) and make plays when it matters especially as the end of the season nears.  It will also show that Morgan is capable of assembling a competitive roster and Caneles is capable of installing a modern NFL offense.   Then you wait and draft/sign/trade for a franchise QB when the situation is to your best advantage.  This is how the Chiefs got Mahomes, the Eagles got Hurts, the Ravens got Jackson and the Packers got both Rodgers and Love.  Or we luck into it like the Patriots did with Brady and the 49er's did with Purdy.  
    • The only reason---which is a significant reason---that Penny is not miles (no pun intended) ahead of Sanders is due to health. Availability is the best ability in this case. When Penny is able to play, he has been the better back. His career averages in both running and receiving are markedly better, and Miles has arguably been playing behind a better line.
    • That being said, when was the last time you saw Freddie spending more time sprawled on the ice versus keeping his feet? Playoff Freddie is not the same goalie who played exceptionally well since coming back from his medical issue. We're seeing someone other than regular season Freddie and I'm not impressed, especially the last 3-4 games.
