Because that's probably a myth. Maybe don't trade someone to in-division, but come on ... you're a pro franchise with egos. Just win. It doesn't matter against who.

Why would you specifically target that team as your desired trade partners though, unless Watson has told you that's the only trade he's signing off on which I wouldn't completely rule out.

How can anyone buy this crap? Any team in the league could trade for him or anyone else for that matter. Think of the dumbest trade you can think of. Now double it. Here's 3yrs worth of draft picks and all of our best young players. Ohhh damn! Their not the Jets. Offer denied. Lunacy to listen to this. Not that I'd touch any of this but that is straight up, one idiots moronic take.

All of my thoughts about what the Texans would do -- whether trading him or not and to where -- was based on an assumption that the Texans would act with rationality and logic. 

However, seeing what they've done this off-season, I can no longer assume that. 

So I no longer have any idea what will happen and have no opinion.

Did you listen to anything the guy said?

He said they aren't listening to offers. That could change. Also he's assuming logical offers not absurdities that won't happen.

At the moment, they're turning down everybody. They're not even listening to the offers.

As to why the Jets, probably because they can offer the highest pick of anyone but the Jags, who aren't trading. Hence, they're the only team that can guarantee one of this year's top two quarterbacks.

Well...that is what they are saying, anyway.

Actually, the original source on that was other teams.

When it was first mentioned, Tom Pelissero called around to a bunch of teams to ask about it. They all said nobody from the Texans was picking up or returning their calls. I suppose they might be listening to their voicemails but hey... 😕

I forget who it was but someone else pointed out that Caserio spent a lot of years watching Bill Belichick say no to people. He's said to be of the same mindset.

(given that he seems to be sweeping out anybody who might disagree with him that's not hard to believe)

Adamantly telling teams they aren't accepting them doesn't sound like it would serve their interests if it's not true. It's in their interest to get more offers, not fewer.

Sometimes the simple explanation if front of you that everyone involved is giving you is possibly the truth.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
