Watson be like, "Hey Baker.  Get your sh!t out of my stadium.

Offer the Browns a second rounder in 2023 for Baker.

Second? Nah a 5th now. Id say lower but i actually want him here and thats the offer to outbid the rest lol.

Theyve lost any and all leverage. Fully guaranteed 18 mil just like Darnold.

Yeah I think you cap it at either this year 3rd or next year second. Browns have no leverage rn

Cleveland was in pure desperation mode once they burned that bridge with Baker.

I still can’t believe it’s fully guaranteed all years!

Don't know what to tell you, the Panthers had this conversation with Watson's agents last night and balked. If they hadn't he'd be a Panther today because the Falcons and Saints had both already declined that's why it was dragging out so long. 

It was only to drive up his price. Just accept it. Watson was never going to sign here even if he didn't have any other options.  Hes even gone back to the Browns for goodness sake. Do you need more evidence?

And virtually all of the leagues top QBs stay in the afc

panthers still have a shot to be *the* team in their conference but they have to get their guy and they have to do it now

well we some what  turned him down  . At the end we said NO .

As negotiations for the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes came to the bitter end, his team called the Panthers with a request on Thursday. They asked Carolina if it could guarantee him money on the third and fourth year on his four-year, $156 million deal as part of what would’ve been a blockbuster trade agreement. Those years are not guaranteed as it’s structured now, and the team could move on without much penalty. Representatives for the Panthers declined the unprecedented proposal. Later that night, around 9:10 p.m., they called back. Watson informed the team that he would not waive his no-trade clause for them.

 

They must have Recalled  the Browns and they went 100% all in I guess ....

 

If that's true, then Tepper wasn't an idiot after all, because that deal is fuggin ridiculous

We’re picking up oline pieces. Need to draft Malik

Even that may be too high. We're looking at one year rental before you have to tag and sign him long term coming off shoulder surgery. 

Next years 3 us the highest id go and that is probably good enough. 

Sam and Baker in camp on 1 year deals. If they fail, they're both gone with Rhule. 

With the moves made today and still keeping pick number 6 in the mix...I think we're a playoff team tbh.

Except when its about the money.

but not really? if the panthers thought this then they would’ve helped him drive up his price for what everyone believed was a divisional foe

what you’re saying is illogical

230 Million fully guaranteed and the guy might be an actual criminal

Glad we lost out on this one

My god....MY GODS....... I guess the report about the panthers NOT allowing his 3rd and 4th years to be fully guaranteed was in fact a fact....my god... The kicker in all new information is it did come down to money and the richest NFL owner passed....... craziest NFL off-season evar. 

I never saw your personal Watson take, honestly where were you? Would you have bought a watson jersey or let your daughter wear one? Or turner your back forever on being a panther fan?
