Look back in the thread. It's already been shot down.

To be fair, the door is still ajar, pending the outcome of his legal issues (this basically from reading Jones' and Person's tweet).

If no one jumps before those are resolved, and I seriously doubt that they will though possible, then we will likely be in on the deal provided that he is "cleared" and we have no answer at QB.

For now, that door is closed. And there's no guarantee it'll open again.

Multiple sources now saying the same thing...

 

I think later is probably 2022 and that is assuming Watson's legal troubles are resolved by then. Unless something really dramatic happens with his legal cases(like they all disappear suddenly), he's gonna be on the shelf for a while.

If Darnold does well, it's over.

If he doesn't, I think it's more likely we draft our next option.

If we're being boring and realistic then hell no the Panthers are not bringing in Watson. Hell look at the Hardy nightmare. And in the future, assuming Watson is cleared and ready to resume his career, the Panthers would be one of the last teams to be able to acquire him. Just look at what happened with the last QB free agency market. We were EXTREMELY desperate for a free agent QB, and the best we could do was find a QB who no other team wanted. We could never in a million years get Watson if he was in high demand.

Now for the fun side of things. Our only chance of getting Watson is now when other teams DON'T want to take a chance. Now is when we can get a good deal and not have other teams jumping in front of us, or otherwise outsmarting or bidding Fitterer. It's now or pretty much forget about it. It's fun to think about.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
