It’s probably gonna take a lot more than Watsons trade. If we traded Burns we probably would have had enough ammo to have a shot but probably not now 

Gotta know the rules. If Baltimore tags him, we can offer him a contract and if he accepts than Baltimore either has to match it or we give up only 2 first for him.  That's what makes it a good deal.  We don't have to give up more than 2 first.  Watson was under contract Jackson won't be. 

It's been that way for years.

But what if they use the Exclusive franchise tender?

Watching the game, the other night they mentioned Jackson wanted a fully guaranteed contract.

Jackson said he wanted to remain a Raven, but Baltimore is flinching at a fully guaranteed contract.

So, they Tag him this offseason.   Do you bite?  Do you trade 2 firsts for him and fully guarantee his contract or PASS?

I’d trade in a heart beat. Lamar is an elite player, a great leader and a great human being. Tepper wanted Watson so bad, he should take the same approach and more to get Lamar.

No thank you. I do not want to see a HC make this kind of trade in year 1. Maybe in year 2, hopefully not, but all I want to see this year is a great draft and those players getting coached up.

I also don't agree with the fully guaranteed contracts in a cap system. It is just a dumb thing to do. The Ravens are smart to bail if it comes to that. A mega trade deal and then mega contract is not something I want to see us on the buying end of anytime soon.

Sure, we do this, then we have to sign him to something like a 45 million dollar a year deal.  Then we have to turn around and sign Burns to something like a 25 million dollar a year deal.  Then all of a sudden we have 70 million dollars a year tied up in 2 players.  What could go wrong?!

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      Evero and the pass rush

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
