Cool, thanks. Have the Texans moved off their zero-tolerance-trade stance as it goes to #4? Any new news there?

Good thing they have that pesky signed-contract in hand

Well, they may not have had much time for it as their de facto GM split for Houston. Belichick fills both roles -- period. Look no further than the Rosenhaus quote.

Belichick doing work. The tweet quoting Rosenhaus about his relationship with BB is very telling... ...there's no substitute for intellectual horsepower, BB has it in spades Good news is Tepper does as well and he's gradually lifting up the broader-IQ of the Panthers organization... ...be patient folks, good times are a comin'!

No change on the former... ...Lawson's the only new input to the formula -- helps Texans.

The Dolphins don't have Watkins under contract. The sum-total of Wilkins ability to "influence" is zero.

Correct on concept of time --- on that topic, 45 days left until The Draft. Lawson absolutely will be a factor, a positive factor. Guarantee you he is advising Texans not to trade DW under any circumstances..."I got this". Shaq seems enthused...and with good reason, reuniting with DW has to be a dream come true. Wait for it...

Correct...DW's recently signed contract is what will keep in Houston. But having guys like Shaq Lawson in the fold can only help in the effort to resolve the situation amicably.

Speaking of Shaq's... ...it wasn't through free-agency but Texans traded for Shaq Lawson who played at Clemson with Deshaun Watson. Lawson promptly reached out to Watson through social media and posted a photo in instagram which was captioned with: "Getting the band back together." Gonna get interesting! https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/article/Texans-Shaq-Lawson-Deshaun-Watson-Clemson-teammate-16026594.php

I disagree I feel the Watson trade would be desperate. It's laughable really... ...akin to a toll-taker on the Cross-Bronx-Expressway thinking he has a shot at the Uptown Girl just because his office is "uptown"... ...LOL. The incessant pining for DW is rooted in pure fantasy and literally nothing more....

So who is the best option in a trade-up scenario? Because the Watson scenario is a complete non-starter....

Taysom deserves to take that big bad meany billionaire owners' money... ...good on him.

Mac Jones moving up fast on the inside lane....

Not always. Some games in some years you can't give tickets away, that's that's fact. Old news. Zero change if TB5 is QB.

Patriot fans seem excited that Cams back By mrcompletely11, 15 hours ago in Carolina Panthers Take a look at this thread and it's perfectly clear "Patriots fans" are not at all "excited that Cam's back": Cam newton resigned 1 year deal | Page 2 | New England Patriots Forums - PatsFans.com Patriots Fan Messageboard That said, I find it VERY interesting that Belichick would bring Cam back for another turn at the wheel... ...I see it as an extremely positive sign -- won't be surprised if Cam outperforms to the upside in MASSIVE fashion.

Exactly. Somebody will be sitting in those seats, doesn't matter who it is.

So you believe Tepper is making these sorts of player personnel decisions? Panthers fans have a decades long track record of paying for tickets regardless of what kind of product is placed on the field. Remember, only 7 winning seasons in history...those pesky PSL's are an amazingly effective sledge-hammer.

Who do you blame for this particular transgression?

Good question. Does the team obligations to either one in any way?

Person was wrong....again. ...

Hey... ...who does Matt Rhule report to?

From the guy who shouted from the roof-tops that Marty Hurney would never work in the NFL again after the Panthers.... LOL.

But you have "insiders".... ....what the heck man ?!?

To what do you attribute the drop? Based on some articles out there on Al Gore's internets looks like the Texans PSL's continue to sell at many many multiples vs. the original price... ...seems odd given they are purportedly the absolute dregs of all NFL franchises...

Curious who that is? Personal friend?
