Report: The Panthers are "locked on Watson"

Choice quotes:

"An executive with a team that has been monitoring the quarterback market said Tuesday the Panthers “are locked” on Watson"

“But most league insiders believe Caserio eventually will deal Watson, presumably prior to the April 29-May 1 draft to maximize the return."

"Panthers owner David Tepper has made no secret of his desire to upgrade at the quarterback position. And Watson looks to be Plan A, B and C."

 

the Watson train is departing from Houston station sooner than later, despite what the superficial public denials are.  And it's headed towards the Queen City:  Read between the lines, Tepper is as fixated on Watson as he ever has been on anything, and he's going to make this happen, whatever the cost.  You can whine about it all you want, but we're not going to let ourselves get outbid for the franchise savior we've been waiting for.

Franchise savior???

I'm absolutely fine with Watson being Plan A, but I sure hope we aren't putting all of our eggs in that basket.

Try but go to the next option if the price is wrong.

Thank goodness this board does not run our team....Cam would still be throwing up ducks at $30m a year for us

If the briantrust truly feels this is the best option forward and can get it done then alrighty, but it's a metric ton of faith in this staff and FO to overcome the price that will be required.
