It doesn't matter, once he's inked the Saints can do contract gymnastics to get under the cap. They always do. Watson could care less about their cap situation as long as their core players stays intact for the time being.

Keys FAs as in plural. Remember we also lose a couple key young guys and no first rounders for 3 years. The way we've been throwing money at mediocre players, I have little hope our cap situation is anything but doomed in attempt to quickly build around Watson before he hits FA. Again, this Watson thing looks worse and worse to me the more I ponder it.

If we get Watson, there is no pick #6 this year. BC has to be the guy...good, mediocre or terrible.

So Rhule is over short-arm LT phobia? Even so, rolling with BC doesn't make him elite. I like BC, but franchise LT he is not.

Our non-existent LT says hold his beer.

And doubling down on dumb. Imagine if he gets his butt handed to him in civil court or he turns in CMC with an infestation of injury bugs. All you have to show for it is a depleted roster and no real future in the draft for the next several years. So stupid for one player.

I thought the Rams were the late contender, not us? The deal was all but done (Stafford to the Panthers) when McVay invited the Stafford family to Cancun and the rest is is history. Point being, the better offer got declined because the player wanted to go elsewhere. If Watson does end up with a team other than Carolina, don't be shocked if we actually had the best offer on the table.

Hmmm, I'm not turning down a huge payday for my family to go work for my best friend. Sure that played into it, but LA>Charlotte, Rams roster>Panthers roster and Rams coaching>Panthers coaching. The familiarity was a perk, but Stafford wanted no part of this mess.

Notice the towel has already fallen off, lol!!

Nah, that would be batting .1000 for this franchise under this regime. I mean if that were a prop bet, I'd be willing to throw scratch at it.

You trying hard to inflate your post count as fast as possible?

We outbid the Rams for Stafford's services too, but we all know how that turned out. Tepper can't figure out why people don't want to come here. I wonder how much longer his short-order cook/sloppy dressed bro-mance with Rhule is going to last?

Excuse me...was charged, but was found not guilty. The civil portion played out very differently if I remember correctly. Watson got caught with his pants down...literally, but whether or not his accusers get their justice, who knows? I said earlier some of the women probably piled on for a payday. How many? Who knows, but not all of them.

Please do.

Wasn't charge...glad to know lawyers work for truth and not money. OJ wasn't charged either...just saying.

Wow, 31 posts and you think your boss dude? Let me break it down for you, the dude is a rapist and while good, is not on the level of elite...not to mention the ransom we give up for it while still being managed by this three-ring circus. Pardon me for not feeling all giddy about the present state of affairs in Panthers-land. So take your 31 posts and YOU get lost.

This guy gets it. Especially with their cap situation. They would be in immediate win now mode before their bloated salaries necessitate a full-blown rebuild in a year or two. They would need to pull a Bucs or Rams trick, but I don't think they can pull it off.

Like it? No, just growing numb to it.

I would lol as karma would bite Tepper's arse.

Not a hard sell as Tepper is a Pittsburgh guy and Pickett is the hometown kid. Actually, it wouldn't shock me if Tepper liked Pickett more than Rhule.

So we can see Rhule chuckling on the sidelines as we are getting killed and look somber the next day in the press conference saying if the tackle had longer arms, the QB could have been protected better....or something like that.

So much for Watson coming here to roll over the NFCS, lol. Brady knows this division is trash and getting to playoffs is the easy part, it's just getting to and winning the Super Bowl.

Yes, that lineup is very offensive.

At this point, we are going to have to agree to disagree. There's too many other variables to make Watson a 'silver bullet' solution in my opinion, even putting the legal troubles aside.

So we get one good year out of him before he bolts in FA. Great! Y'all make it look like dude actually wants to be here and will be a Panther for life. Report after report shows we are WAY down his list. You think three years in this carnival is going to change his mind and actually want to re-sign here when he can test the open FA market???? Homerism meets man-crush at it's finest. His choices and market are limited right now. In three more seasons that dynamic changes drastically especially after his legal troubles die down over time.
