The Watson Thread - Part Deux

[MVPccaffrey]

Hilarious that Tepper has been begging like a dog for over a year and we're not likely even in his top 2 by the time it's all said and done.

Draft a QB this year or next like everybody else

Rhule is going to cost us another season.  I knew it.  It was bound to happen.

Well, if you are going to go “sell” Carolina….it probably would have been best not to put Matt Rhule on the plane.  Tepper should of gone by himself. 
 

Matt Rhule always sounds like an idiot

the old guard media types have been pushing this so hard, lacanfora would be devastated if Watson ended up here

theres a reason you’ve seen these guys desperately pushing teams like Pitt to get involved

Yep - I don’t trust a thing the media reports simply because of this.  They don’t want Watson here because it’s not sexy enough.  So they will report anything and everything to the contrary 

[Proudiddy]

God, this is depressing.

Adam Schefter:

The Frankfurt Galaxy have emerged as a potential sleeper team to acquire Deshaun Watson.  He has scheduled a meeting with them for sometime in 2024.

Who in their right mind would want to come in to this dumpster fire? Especially for all we'd have to give up for him. He'd be surrounded by a RB who's always hurt, a bad (but hopefully mildly better next year) offensive line, a gutted defense which will most certainly be worse, a coaching staff everyone knows is gone after this year, and no draft picks to improve anything.

These reactions are what the Texans are hoping happens with Tepper to give up more. Falcons benefit from this as well. All these teams talk and feed info to reporters. 
 

if DW actually wants to go to Atlanta then good luck to him because they are surprisingly worse than us.

With potentially 4 or 5 teams trying to win the Watson sweepstakes, chances are whoever "wins" is gonna have to overpay for him.

I'm cool on the internet for the day.

Falcons just reworked Ryans contract.  I don’t have the math but that would be very hard for them to send him out now

Something like 55 million in dead cap if they get rid of him now.  Its a non starter.  Im sure Houston wants nothing to do with an old ass, expensive ass Matt Ryan. Plus what other assets do they have that is better than what we could offer?

So will the Bucs get their interview with Watson and Houston on Thursday?  So they can send TB to San Francisco in a 3 way deal lol.

Defies reality that it would end up being Atlanta.

Tepper is getting dog walked by the NFL right now

Honestly there's just too much poo slinging to discern anything meaningful from today's announcements. Although it might be noteworthy that Rapoport basically hand waived away the potential cap issues ATL has with Matt Ryan.
