Per Adam Schefter, “In speaking to some teams, I don’t think this is going to deter anyone’s interest in trading for Deshaun Watson”

As I said in the original thread this should NOT deter the Panthers from pursuing Deshaun. If anything they should be more aggressive as other teams know that his value has dropped and compensation for his contract will be less than it was a week ago. Now, if criminal charges appear then the Panthers should back away. 

Eeeehhh, no.

You run the risk of trading away picks and players only to see some other bombshell drop after the deal is done.

Until this comes to some sort of resolution, the Panthers shouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Honestly, nobody should if they're smart.

And if it resolves poorly, welp...

I think that they should and I think that they will. Remember that this is not criminal and is a civil suit. It shouldn’t take long to determine if criminal charges should be filed. Absence of malice, evidence and only hearsay shouldn’t bring criminal charges.
This isn’t Richardson’s team anymore and some times there is some risk involved with the decision making. 
I guarantee you that Caserio’s old boss  is considering a trade with lowered compensation as we speak.

The fact that this used to be Richardson's team is a big reason why we shouldn't.

It being investigated under the NFL's personal conduct policy is another big reason. The personal conduct policy doesn't require proof, only that the accusations be believable.

Trading for him with what's hanging over his head now would be crazy, and not a good kind of crazy.

For these specific accusations to be false, then all of the women making them would have to be liars.

There's really no way around that.

So your calling Deshaun a liar and think there is no way the women was paid off. It don’t always go one way is what I’m trying to say but you keep saying that like it’s truth. SMH

I'm not calling him a liar because I don't know whether he's guilty or not.

But the reality is that he might be.

He might also be innocent, but either way, having nine or more accusers is a difficult thing to get past.

Yes if Deshaun sees they are still willing to pursue him and trust him, that will put us over the top. JS

Lol they will kick him out of the league with no proof. Damn these people are hilarious today!

Yeah these accusers are not making anything up at all, let’s not say they could be falsifying stuff about Watson wow. Seems a little one sided to me?

This being a conspiracy at this point would be obviously unprecedented and undoubtedly the biggest scandal/conspiracy in (sports) history.  
 

no way we trade numerous first round picks and starters for a guy who could have very well played his last down in the nfl. With that being said, this entire saga smells fishy and calling it odd would be an understatement.

Accusations hurt, Watson is going to have to deal with this situation before anyone trades for him.

It reeks. The lawyer has zero credibility, the timing is amazing, the size of it all makes it hard to believe no one knew and the entire situation was a dumpster fire before this dropped.

Houston is making some history however this breaks, and it all looks bad.

      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.
