We were most likely bidding against the 49ers and lost. The price just got too high for the 3rd best QB. I really don’t blame them.

I think they’ll trade back with Denver.

Right. Sucking that bad in FA and the draft means you end up without a core. The strategy right now seems to be 1) Build a team to attract a good QB. 2) Draft a QB that attracts a good team. 3) Luck into both.

Agreed. Our only realistic strategy. The alternative is to suck so hard in FA and the draft that we end up with a top 5 pick.

Yes, absolutely. We’ll be looking for an overlooked later round guy. QB purgatory is real. I expect 5+ years of this to be honest. I bet we go through 2 drafted QBs before we find anyone close to a ‘franchise’ guy again. Just the way things go.

But I heard all 4 QBs this year are future hall of famers?

You know making this trade requires the Jets WANTING to give up that pick right? What do you want Tepper to do? Give up 5 years worth of 1st round picks? Waive a magic wand? Seriously, think before you post.

Why is this the popular narrative right now? What facts are leading people to think the FO screwed this up and wasn’t paying attention? Maybe they did, or maybe the 9er’s were just willing to pay more. I doubt the 3rd pick was first come first serve.

If that’s the case, we trade down.

I will.

The full podcast should be on YouTube soon, but here is a brief clip. Should be interesting. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2021/03/23/panthers-luke-kuechly-comments-teddy-bridgewater-business/?fbclid=IwAR3e6mB3dFrc-8tZ0kfFdqmq-HGFaWMnuiuTLkJNOO51HpwKT6OIevqv-p4

It’s the off season. Different rules.

You can have a civil case and a criminal case going at the same time. Its not either or.

Hard evidence is going to be really hard to come by. There were just two people involved in each encounter. Classic he said she said. I don’t believe it’s legal to have video cameras in massage rooms. The women could have recorded audio legally, but I doubt they would think to do that.

Yeah, but I have to imagine that screwing another owner like that would carry some severe (behind the scenes) penalties.

Right, they’d have to be spiteful enough to put themselves in a position to pay him tens of millions not to play or cut him and eat mountains of dead cap.

Even if you could get him for a 7th rounder, you’d still be on the hook for his 10 mill in salary this year. 10 mil for a guy who is most likely going to end up on the exempt list. Is he worth the cap and PR hit? That’s a tough decision. Remember, a player still gets paid if they are on the exempt list. If there’s no trade market, the Texans will have to decide if they want to pay his salary this year or cut him.

If you’re going to risk your law license by supporting or soliciting a fabrication like this, you’re gonna make sure you can control your client(s). You can control or coordinate 1 or 2 people. But 20+? For this to be a big lie, Buzbee would have had to 1) Track down every woman that has proof of massaging Deshaun. Small group. 2) Approach all of them and hope they all agree to put their necks on the line to go along with the lie. If one woman says no and goes to the press (for a different payday) to reveal that they were asked to lie, it’s over. That’s a massive risk for the lawyers and women accusing Deshaun. IF the Texans or NFL is behind this in anyway, it’s far more likely that they dug up this dirt on him and decided to use it to set an example of him. It doesn’t mean he’s innocent though.

Like he has a choice now. Several of his accusers are submitting evidence and signed affidavits to the Houston district attorney on Monday. Buzzbee is requesting a criminal grand jury as well. This trade stuff is over.

I just finished watching Money Ball so this now seems like an amazing life changing signing.

Isn’t it interesting how so many people are claiming (with no evidence) that the team is behind this, but are like “I need to see evidence before I believe these 22 women”? Weird isn’t it?

He didn’t expect to get caught.

Were you ever 25?

Too late for that.
