He already has.. Its been widely reported the best offer is being sent by the Panthers... Houston wants our offer..

DW is the one holding up everything... 

And again when he called the Falcons it was clear winning and going to a good roster wasn't his choice..

yep. seems DW would rather be worshiped in ATL while losing instead of doing any actual work to recoup his image. That's just another huge red flag for me to go with the litany of others

Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen her drop a legit hot take.

I want to say she had Cam coming back, and got really angry about not enough people crediting her with breaking the story.

If David Tepper truly refuses to lose...then this is his shot to prove it.  I 100% think he can put an offer on the table that Watson and the Texans cannot say no to.  Question is - is he bold enough to do it?  Money talks.  Offer to make Watson the highest paid QB in the NFL if you think that is what it will take.  

...and fire Rhule, if he is the problem to get the deal done

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.  

Send sir purr in.  What's that bear doing?

If you want to get his attention verify at least guarantee that he comes to you you are from something ridiculous like a $40 million signing bonus and then it’s done

That's the thing though ... while he is worth more than double what Arthur Blank is, Blank is still worth 7.5 billion. His wang swing is just as mighty as Tepper's. Tepper might not be able to do anything.

This is more about team resources at this point.  Atlanta cannot afford to make Watson's salary 50M per season.  They can't surround him with top notch talent right now (or for the next couple years). 

[Brooklyn 3.0]

If we don't get him, I hope a handful of you who care more about one superstar than the team get so pissy you go root for another team this year.

I saw Sheena talk about Watson’s agent, then commented that Heward has him as an agent too. She was replying to someone say Pitts and another guy have him as an agent as well. She just said like two days ago guys having the same agent means nothing. I remember bc she commented on Verges twitter after Verge said Horn it woods have the same agent as Watson. This is all strange to me

She was all about the Browns and said going to play for your hometown or where you played in college is overrated to most players. Said that players sharing an agent doesn’t matter. What changed? I don’t think she has a source but she’s signaling like she does and basing everything on the same reports anyone else can read on Twitter. And I think she personally doesn’t want Watson in Charlotte and it’s affecting her coverage. It doesn’t have an impact on the outcome but keep it in mind if you’re going off of what she’s saying about this.

As far as the Baker stuff.  He is a good QB.  Again, I think if everything around him is up to par, he is a top 15 QB in the league.  He showed flashes year before last...  but, he also has his limitations.  So i'm not saying I wouldn't want him, but not for what it would likely cost.  We've already been down that road.  If they want to give him Way for like a 4th rounder, maybe...  but if Darnold commanded a 2nd, Baker is definitely going for at least that.

But my point is, I'm tired of rehashes and other people's unwanted trash...  if we miss on Watson, swing for the fences with Willis.  Baker might be a solid, above average QB, but his limitations that keep him from being GREAT, are the physicals - which Willis has.  If he can figure out the pro game, he could be a "face of the league" kind of guy.

Exactly.  Again - offer him 50M per year, making him the highest paid QB behind Rodgers.  Give him more than Mahomes and Allen and there is no way he says no.  I promise you that.
