Let me go back and clarify what I meant. Good call.

This is an account that has high profile followers and authorized by twitter. Something to note.

Food for thought @LinvilleGorge - the Texans probably wont let Watson choose a single team. At that point, if Watson selects one team, then that team can reduce their offer. They would have leverage at that point. I think this is a fluid situation, and all parties have an agreed structure to how this will go.

but my thinking why is it that everyone is locked in on Watson saying "Team XXX is my only NTC" ... there is a real possibilty that Watson says, I am good with either one.

bottom of the barrel signing ... id only go after him if we lost out on the other options...

One last piece of optimism... I get that we all hate Rhule... and want him fired.. But.... The players in that locker room respect him and speak highly of him in public light. It's very well possible he is a good people person, and a bad PR person. If he can win over players while losing, then he can win over Watson in a meeting. Recruiting was his thing in college.

anyone can be wooed from the jump. My thing is... what if deshaun is wooed by all teams and opens the flood gates? It is possible to think that he will waive his NTC for muiltiple teams?

You arent. It's okay to be neutral on this. No one knows what gonna happen except those in on the deal. So lets let it play out instead of being assumptively pessimistic as if it is fact. We are all passengers on this wild ride.

I mean a spin of optimism here.... if Tepper is able to convince people to give him millions of dollars.... then I think he'd be able to convince a professional football player to join his team... This will be his first run at recruiting a player... so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. In all honesty, the saints have to be better sales people than us. They have to spell out future plans with liimited cap space, and an o line that would be traded away.They'd also have to share why Payton and Brees left in back to back years, how they are gonna fix their rundown stadium, and wtf is going on with Michael .... We havent had any public shaming by anyone at or from the franchise. We also havent had anyone leave in dissaray. Our former panthers still frequent our stadium and speak highly about us in public spotlight.... Lastly, secret weapon.... Jaycee Horn's father.... Joe Horn....

with the way you have been posting in this thread you might as well just copy and paste what I put above.

at this point there is no more "XXX team is in the lead." No one knows but Watson.

he is rumored to be in the deal already according to multiple dependable sources.

First. Blow his mind upfront.

@Panthercougar68Im wondering if the franchise treats it like a true recruitment pitch. They fly to him or fly him in and have key players in the meeting and have him spend time with former panthers (luke, greg, cam, ryan etc) and then Tepper/Samir/SCott sit down with Watson and give him the run through of plans and intentions. They willl most likely review: 1. 2022 FA approach 2. 2023 FA approach 3. The new offensive gameplan 4. forward looking staffing My standing question is "Will deshaun waive it for multiple teams?"

As Natalie and Ellis shared... we are in this for the long haul, the only rush we have is landing Watson. Plus we can already plan our FA with the Watson deciison in the air as Person and Newton shared today.

The question is... who does he meet first, and does he leave there without verbally agreeing to waive his NTC....

If this turns into a marathon, you'd have to assume we win. We have nothing to lose by waiting.

yeah, i just wanted to throw $50 at it, ahha.

For someone who keeps saying "he is not coming here" you seem really invested Steven... @BurnNChinn

does anyone have a link to vegas odds on Watson's landing spot? I just keep getting articles with dated information when I google.

yes. many outlets have reported this. Including the texans insider.

id go get Baker for a future 3rd, if this all flops.

did you not read the whole tweet... he is talking about who we are gonna sign AFTER we acquire Watson...

It’s respect for the GOAT. Hate it all you want, these professionals respect each other.
