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.

If he prefers both NO and ATL over us then wtf are we doing still dicking around in this?

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.

I don't think he chooses Carolina.  Realistically, why would he?

 

At this point, all I hope is that he chooses Cleveland because I don't want to play him 4x a year.  He is too damn good.

I thought the deadline for the cap is today?

Also @Verge has your opinion changed? I know it's guess work. I bet Tepper n Rhule offered him the Moon. I'm not one that hinges on you guys knowledge but love hearing your opinions.

Damn it’s like he knew he didn’t want us and he still had us come in just to lie to our face. 

No one doubts his football skills, but moral flaws shldnt be surprising given his off field exploits lol.

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
