Ryan's bonus kicks in at 4pm, after which it would be nearly impossible for them to cut or trade him and make Watson work. 

He's wrong in the fact that Atlanta is backing out on their own volition. Watson is waiting for them to make a decision, not the other way around like he phrased it. If they can't deal Matt Ryan, they just can't make a deal work.

I mean the saints restructured everybody and can fit DWs contract. If the falcons can’t get rid of Ryan his second choice is clearly NO and Carolina is a distant distant third 

My point exactly.. Let him go to a Sean Paytonless NO with little to no assets.. While we build up the better younger roster..

As someone stated, I wonder how the Texans feel about enabling the Colts (rival) to obtain Matt Ryan… 

It's a clusterf*ck and that's why this is dragging on so long.

Atlanta is Watson's #1 choice. But they don't offer the best trade package to Houston. And they'd be enriching a division rival to make a trade work (most likely).

Panthers probably still have the most assets on the table to trade for Watson. The Panthers are probably the Texans preferred trade partner.

Saints are a wildcard. They don't offer the best trade package most likely, maybe why they needed a second meeting with Watson. They need to win over him personally over the Panthers.

I think they're still just a little bit short, otherwise we'd have already been officially eliminated, instead as last resort in case both Falcons and Saints can't make it work

Under Tepper, the Panthers don’t win 

as long as he keeps Rhule, winning at an organizational level, is not going to happen 

Winning also doesn’t happen when you change coaches after two years

Gotcha, yea you're right on that part. They've got to back out after 4pm because of Ryan's contract not them not wanting Watson

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
