Panthers are OUT of the Watson race

[frankw]

fuging hilarious he does all that with the Falcons and makes a mess with Matt Ryan and goes to Cleveland anyways. Shoutout to Sheena Quick for all the gloating. This is fantastic!

The Panthers were never in the perv sweepstakes.

This was legit the best possible outcome. We don't have to pay that massive contract and lose the draft capital and young players, and we don't have to deal with him in the division.

This really is the best scenario that could have ever happened for us lmfao.

No they didn’t. I’d be furious if we give 250mil guaranteed. Do you know how absurdly razor thin margin of error thay leaves? If that was what it took, good on our FO

Watson to the Browns confirmed

[The Lobo]

I thought the browns were out of it wtf. So is this what he was asking from us? Essentially had we said yes he’d be a panther?

This turned out better than expected 

[MGH1989]

Interesting thing is it looks like he wanted the guaranteed money all along and he would have gone to the Panthers had they offered.

He almost certainly wanted a fully guaranteed contract and a raise. Baseball type money.

You can’t guarantee this man entire contract just barely escaping a legal fiasco we did exactly what we should have done. We’re good the browns aren’t winning a thing.

Theinkisdry did say we’d be surprised by deal bc the offer isn’t what the Texans wanted. Word is the offer was three 1s a 3rd and a 5th no players involved. Theinkisdry said Texans wanted more all along and Tepper probably just offered picks like the browns did. Guy is a profit. He probably didn’t expect us to say no to the guaranteed contract and he also said it would be agreed upon on Friday. Haha unreal he sort of called it. 

 

@rayzordude may have been right lol

Tepper realized QBs want an OL and defense to join a team (shocking right?) so he is going to build one.  They also want a good coach.  That's not good news for Rhule....

I agree. It would be unprecedented risk for any player, let alone someone with his issues. It’s just interesting that it’s seems that was the only thing that really mattered to get him.
