ESPN Predicts Watson to be the Panthers starter in 2021

Basing Watson going to the Panthers solely on the fact that we're not in conference?

Yeah, that's weak. Especially so when you consider that both the Jets and the Dolphins are in far better position to make substantial offers.

He has three teams and they are not one of them.

To be fair, believing that something probably isn't going to happen is not the same thing as being against it happening.

I haven't really seen anybody be against the idea of having Deshaun Watson. There is some legitimate questioning of whether what we might have to give up to get him would be too much.

For my part, I just don't think the Texans are going to trade him. It's also possible that if they do, it might be far enough in the future that we'll have already gone down a different path.

They will trade him before the draft.  It makes absolutely zero sense to wait any longer than that.  Perhaps a draft day trade?  But anything after that kinda devalues any picks they would be getting for him.

Okay, so you are just an idiot. Well, that makes sense. 

Statistically speaking he isn't even in the top 10 as of last year.

3 1sts and McCaffrey

I agree giving up Burns or Brown is dumb.  But I think 3 1sts and CMC is a great deal, especially when you consider the 1st this year will likely be used on a QB no matter what.  That pick is a wash IMO.  And while I LOVE McCaffrey and consider him extremely valuable (I have his jersey and will always love it) he's worth throwing in there considering he's no longer on a rookie contract.  

Has anybody touched on the 24 million dollar dead cap hit we would take this year if we dealt CMC?  Can we even field a full roster with that much dead cap?  It would be pushing 50 mil this year with the addition of CMCs dead money.

It’s amazing we have a legit chance to land this dude and there are people on here whining about it. 

It’s mostly Scot, he has turned into the Huddle Debbie downer

Gonna be honest I haven't even considered the cap ramifications lol

Wish the NFL had a trade machine like NBA has on ESPN

For everyone who thinks hanging onto draft picks instead of getting an elite QB is the answer...behold the Browns. 
 

They managed to turn it around.....through free agency.

I'm not completely sold on any scenario that assumes the Texans are going to do what makes sense.

They've repeatedly demonstrated a very strong ability to do things that make no sense whatsoever.

Not to mention trading CMC will actually cost us 5 Million in cap space... Combine his dead money in and we don't have enough cap to pay that let alone Watson and the rest of the players we need to pay.

Who are the "three teams" on his list?

Fine with the picks but not giving up solid play makers , it makes no sense

Exactly.  I mean, im not going to pretend to completely understand the NFL salary cap - there are people smarter than me employed by the team to manage these things....but on its face, trading CMC this year seems a like a non-starter.
