I'm saying that now, especially if he comes here. I guess I will take a pause from the Panthers until he is traded later on, Rhule gets fired or Tepper sales the team. I didn't think we'd ever become the freaking Jets, Browns and Bengals of old, but this team is turning into the armpit of the NFL.

I am dude. It won't happen BUT the whole idea of "I don't want to face player-x in our division" in any trade is S-T-U-P-I-D, especially if said team gets the best offer.

I've heard the massage parlors on Bourbon Street are top-notch!

If they actually accept the type of ransom being thrown out there while no other team does? Players end up facing their old teams all the time. I think the whole "we don't want to face him" thing is WAY overblown by any traded player. It projects weakness and distrust within you own four walls that you can't overcome playing against one of your former players.

They should be. But hey, maybe some organizations don't want the stink of Watson hanging over their franchise. Must be refreshing to have standards.

I'm hoping Seattle or Indy steps up to the plate. Indy is a contender and Seattle seems like a more desirable destination than Charlotte.

Tepper is an idiot and is your next Daniel Snyder/Jerry Jones. Have fun guys because I'm checking out if this trade goes down for that ransom...for a dude while cleared criminally, will still be have to go through civil court.

Not paying mine this year. Oh well....

Yes?

No, it means we are almost certainly going to get one of the top 3 OTs. If the Jags drafted one of the OTs out of the gate, we may have missed out at #6

Snyder and Watson should get along great and have a lot of stories to share with one another.

Go Commies!

Pleasssse, please, please, please!!!!!

Time to move on. We need to stop paying WRs and CBs that are easily replaceable.

I think Wentz on a short term deal is our best option. The Colts are moving on, it's just a matter if he's traded or cut.

My next Panthers jersey is going to be 00 and player name Trainwreck.

'Tis but a flesh wound!

My solution for fixing the QB--significantly upgrade the OL this year...roll with Darnold, sign bridge QB like Mariota on a 3-year deal to help the rookie QB we draft in 2023.

Ah yes, the same Jessie Bates I wanted us to draft.

My biggest concern with CMC when we drafted him was if he could stand up to the punishment of the NFL especially running between the tackles. He showed he can do it by bulking up, but has also shown he can't stay healthy either. Yes, trade him because we need more ammo down the road and a healthy CMC gives Rhule the best chance of winning. We obviously can't have Rhule winning too many games this season.

Rhule is loading up for his hail mary attempt and spend big time in FA. Granted, it probably won't work, but he's going down swinging and taking the organization down with him.

Are you sure voidable years do not affect dead cap? I get it spreads out signing bonuses to create cap space, but also impacts dead cap during those voided years, no?

Per Spotrac: Converted $10.08M of 2022 base salary into signing bonus, clearing $5.04M of cap space with Carolina (CAR)

The results? A ton of dead cap after he's released in a year or two, you know...like how we are eating $8.3 million of Paradis' dead cap this season as he's technically still on the roster but won't ever play a down or even suit up.
