QB pay has nothing to do with Houston accepting our deal.  I am sure our trade compensation is huge.  I am talking about Watson directly.  Pull out the big guns to convince him he NEEDS to be a Carolina Panther.  former and current players, local celebs/artists, a huge pay day, say in roster decisions, all need to play a part.  Community obviously means a lot to Watson.  We need to involve the community in recruiting the most high profile sports figure to play in NC in a long time.  

Great fuging idea! Someone get Ked Woodley on the phone. Time to dominate these foes!

So one hour lol can you explain to me what happens then with ryan

Matt Ryan could still be traded after 4pm today, it will just cost the Falcons an extra $7.5m to do it. I honestly think they are having a very difficult time finding a trade partner for him.

I find it hard to believe any team would trade for Matt Tyan without the Falcons eating a major portion of his cap hit. That doesn’t help the Falcons in acquiring Watson though so what’s the point.

Ryan to Indy makes a lot of sense. This year's second or less, they have a TON of cap space.

I'm also sitting here wondering what Seattle is going to do at QB and curious if they've talked to Atlanta about Matt Ryan. But I don't think it's a good match with his huge salary cap number and Seattle trying to go younger.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • 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.
