I believe today we will hear where Watson will be landing.

How things stand:

- Watson has completed meeting with teams.

- He has said he was impressed with all, will be a tough decision.

- Rumors say he prefers Atlanta, then New Orleans, then Carolina.

- Some circles believe Carolina is still the destination and the rest is just window dressing intended to increase the price. 

- He may be stalling to see what Atlanta can come up with as far as receivers go, hoping they can improve. Right now he would have one target in Pitts, and he likely will be in the trade package.

Pitts isn’t in the trade package. Falcons aren’t about to eat $8.5M in additional cap to trade him. And, surprise, he has the same agent as Watson. 

Then they might get Watson for nothing.

Again HOU still holds a good bit of power in this. If the falcons don’t give up a sizable amount they are not going to trade him there. Like if deshaun says “I’m only waiving my NTC to the falcons” then ATL could theoretically lower their package price. HOU can just say “no their trade package isn’t near enough” If deshaun refuses and says he’ll sit next season they can go after his money. If ATL is the place you’re gonna see Matt Ryan traded today. And their trade package needs to be in the same ball park as everyone else. And they’re gonna have to do some insane moves to get their cap ready. That’s the only way. 
 

I have a feeling there is going to be two teams he waives his NTC unless! The falcons have a trade package that is gigantic like other teams, their cap is ready and Matt Ryan is traded. That’s why everyone is saying this just seems unrealistic but crazy things happen.

1. What is the allure with New Orleans over CAR? I could understand with Sean Payton as the HC. But you’re going to a place where a legendary head coach just left, they missed the playoffs, and Dennis Allen is at the helm now? Not to mention the sorcery that Loomis pulled to create $100 mil in cap room is for sure going to catch up to them in the next few years. Don’t understand NO at all. 
 

2. The Atlanta situation to me seems like it’s completely about home comfort (which isn’t real) and not about football at all. The front office in ATL imo is one of the worst in the league. Even after they canned Dimitrov. They are digging themselves out of contracts that he left them. Fontnote is ok I guess? But he’s had one off-season. Basically he made one move last year…Kyle Pitts. He drafted Richie Grant who basically couldn’t get on the field? The falcons football situation is horrendous outside of maybe their coach and GM. The roster needs a ton of work and they have zero resources for multiple years. Then if they trade all the resources they have for Watson….I almost hope that if he doesn’t come here he goes there. Bc they’re going to be a dumpster fire for years even with Deshaun.  It’ll be a revolving door of old, overpaid free agents who get injured. 
 

Contrast those situations with what Fitt has prepped for the last 12-15 months. It’s not close as far as who has the best football situation. Rhule aside (he’s replaceable). Our cap is the best possible scenario. We’d lose very little that isn’t replaceable with free agents or draft picks. We’d be the the east coast version of the Rams in 18 mo.

Falcons have nothing to trade without Pitts or Terrell.

When I was just a little boy, 

I asked my friends, will Watson be here?

Will he be strong, will he be good?

Here's  what they said to me:

 

Que sera,  Que sera.,

Whatever will be, will be. 

The future's not ours to see,

Que sera,  Que sera!

      Dates for Training camp are released

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
