Who would say no to that deal? I mean, other than the Texans.

For real. I'd be cutting backflips if we pulled that off.

Including players like TB or Thompson would probably INCREASE the cost in draft picks.

hahaha.

yeah we may be able to save a draft pick if we don't make them take one of those bums

At this point from what I hear and understand, Carolina is option #1 and this likely will happen. 

What's the likely trade ammo it's gonna take?

I LOVE the idea of landing Watson, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm apprehensive of what we might have to give up.

The more I think about it the more I think they will want Burns... He has the highest trade value on our roster IMO.

Yeah and it's going to sting to get rid of him. I keep going back to him being in the deal too.

Lol this forum will think they won the super bowl going 4-12 with Watson as the Texans did and no means to build anything around 

then we can restart all the no weapons, no oline, no coaching, shitty ownership, no support, bias refs, everyone is racist threads from before 

awesome

you do realize there are other ways to build a team outside of the first round?

Yeah, a lot of people seem hung up on CMC being involved in the deal but honestly, I'd be more upset about Burns being in the deal. CMC is a helluva player, but elite pass rushers are more valuable than elite RBs and Burns has three more years on his rookie deal. All of that adds up to him probably having more trade value than CMC.

It would stink, I want Watson I'm afraid of our ability to field an NFL O-line if we land him though.

With a no-trade clause, Watson holds the ultimate leverage on his potential destination.

A "no-trade clause" is quite valuable to a player who does not want to be traded...

...it is basically worthless to a player does want to be traded.

Virtually nobody seems to get this...that this is the case it truly baffling.

Verge is always spot on with legit sources, it was funny last year at this time when you disagreed vehemently about Cam.

for everyone late first-rounder we can't use to draft an unproven player we'll have a proven free agent willing to take a pay cut to come play with watson.

i wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on three firsts and i bet fittermagic won't either.
