No sorry, the Dolphins have a much better argument. See my post above. I’m not discounting what we have, only putting it in perspective and comparison. ‘Talented’ players. If they’re compelling as trade capital that means they’re NOT compelling for Watson only to the Texans.

The Texans do not have to be interested in Darnold or Tua because they’d likely get the 2 or 3 pick in the draft for a new QB. Not so with 8. That is much more appealing for a franchise that *should* be rebuilding.

You guys can keep fooling yourselves saying the Panthers have just as much to offer as the Jets or Dolphins but if you’re considering the circumstances of the no trade clause and that both the Texans AND Watson will have to be satisfied, the Panthers are not remotely in discussion with those two teams unless Watson himself has a urning desire to only play for the Panthers no matter the cost which I find laughable.

Recent reports have the Dolphins brass focused on moving forward with Tua and not interested in Watson

3 first and CMC sounds cheap atp.  More like 3 first Burns and 2 2nds.

You're bidding against yourself at that level - even though i'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

Fact is, Jets and Dolphins aren't going to pay anywhere near that kind of haul when their staff will just think "**** it, at that price give me Wilson/Fields on a rookie deal".  We'll never have to match, let alone beat an offer like that

And your ok with that price? And for that why not just say Lawrence is up for grabs 2.

Yeah, I know...its gonna be sick in terms of cost.  We will pay it probably.

I’m hoping they are realistic enough to take back Teddy but doubt it.

The thing with the Jets is that they're currently set up to acquire a BUNCH of talent with all their additional picks.

So, theoretically, they could cash all of that in NOW to pick up this uber-Franchise QB monster that you can't possibly compete without. Sure, it slows down their rebuild somewhat (1 talented, guaranteed NFL player at the most important position of need rather than 3-4 potential talented NFL players) , but they're not selling their future for him - they'd just be resetting their Draft capital back to the norm.

The Jets and the Dolphins are the only two places that it makes sense for Watson to go. Everyone else, with that price tag, is selling their future for him. So unless you think the rest of your team is in place for 2-3 years and this guy is going to put you over the top, steer well clear. 

All valid points. I do think we are that close though. Even without CMC, how many games would we have won this year with Watson instead of Teddy. KC and GB were both winnable.
Say we lose one of the Burns, Brown, Chinn, Jackson, YGM, young talent on defense or CMC and 3 first round picks. Ok that’s a huge price, but if we traded next year’s first and our 1st and 2nd to get the Dolphins number 3 pick and select Wilson or Fields most people would be ok with it. So think of it as one additional first rounder and a young player to upgrade Fields into Watson. Seems like a no brainer to me... The big thing is like you stated the Jets or Dolphins could outbid us....

Kyle Crabbs of TDN contradicted me on this one, he has stated that the Dolphins are interested, where as I have heard they are sticking with Tua. His sourcing on the Dolphins is likely more reliable than mine so I would go with that for now.

So this is bad for Panthers right?

Aaron Wilson said the Dolphins are "a popular team on his personal wish list".

Also mentioned that former teammate Kareem Jackson was trying to recruit him to Denver.

Just don’t send a Chinn or Burns. I feel like everyone else can be on the table. 

Sadly from what I have seen Houston doesn't want offensive players they want young defensive players.  I would love to give them YGM but I believe they are going to want Burns, Brown or Chinn. 

Watson for 3st, Burns and  Bridgewater.   They can use Bridgewater to gap whoever they may bring in or draft. 

I just don't see how it can only be NYJ and us.  It seems to me there are or will be others if it gets announced.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
