That's a good thing. 

I didnt want Watson before the tiny towel stuff*for the haul*, for 230 fully guaranteed??? Are the brown aware of his 2 ACL tears?? Only one came back form three- Thomas "bad intentions" Davis. Thats insane for the browns to do that.

They can’t maintain a team around him because of that contract. If we backed out because of that I’m glad. Well I’m glad I’m general because I didn’t want him…

Turns out he didn't give a poo about winning, just money.

Make perfect sense why he wanted Atlanta in the race.

They already have a team around him.  They think they can make a move in the next couple seasons.  Plus the cap can always be massaged

Yep, people were saying he was going to go where he would feel most comfortable with the fans since his allegations and I said all along he doesnt give a poo about what people think of him

If new "evidence" or more or a different judge or DA takes the case..........hes still getting the 230 million. Panthers did hire a PI, bet they have a risky assessment......one that you would put 230 million on.

insane.

Just look at the Falcons with Matt Ryan.  Myles Garrett and company are going to want their money and who is his top WR now?? OBJ gone, Landry might be gone, their first round TE gone.  The salary cap can be manipulated to a degree but money is money at the end of the day.  Keep pushing it back and taking on dead money and it really limits you.  Now they have no 1st round picks for the next 3 years to add cheap weapons/talent around him.  In a division with a loaded young loaded Bengals team, Lamar's Ravens, and a soundly run Steelers team good luck to the Browns... they will need it.  Oh yeah and he might STILL get suspended.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
