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.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
