The Watson Thread - Part Deux

What a great year to have a bunch of butt munchers at QB in the draft. 

I think you draft a LT if this falls through. 

And Tepper took Rhule with him to Texas?  That is like taking your cock-blocking cousin who knows nobody else to a party.

I told you guys this yesterday. Whoever gets Watson will most likely get Armstead as well

So, the Saints take on Watson's 35 million salary for 2022 AND manage to resign Armstead for what 17 million a year? Hey, that's only 52 million OVER added to their 7 million OVER right now. This cap stuff is ridiculous!

I'm curious if New Orleans can recoup the cap hit once Armstead's contract voids. Right now, prior to the new year, they can extend him and avoid it. They may be out if a deal doesn't come together by 4 PM tomorrow, either on Watson, Armstead, or both.

Whoever trades for Watson (it’s going to be New Orleans) will most likely extend him to help out with the cap situation this year 

Some of you spend way too much time worrying about the cap. If a teams wants a guy bad enough they’ll figure out a way

New Orleans would just obliterate us for years if they get him.  That's the toughest pill to swallow.

 

 

That's the worst part about all of this. I won't be as upset if he signed with Cleveland. But, having to face Watson twice a year for a decade, after we just got done with facing Brees. It's like some franchise's just keep on dominating every year and replace their franchise QB right away with another. It's annoying being a Panthers fan.

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
