And Houston can choose to keep him.

His contract isn’t up until 2026, Houston can make him pretty miserable if they don’t get what they want.

What is the saying about cutting off your nose to spite your face.  

Houston could try holding to him, but you have a massive salary cap hit not playing.  A pissed off player in locker room.  Watson keeps sitting his trade value isn't increasing.   Take what you can get with Watson okaying trade and improve your team.

Not it’s not, Florio even reported a while back the Texans would have agreed to trade him to Carolina last season, but Watson declined it. 
 

Yes. Last season. Before he was cleared of criminal charges.

So what if Houston wants the Carolina trade but Watson prefers playing for New Orleans--how much leverage will Houston have and use?  Are they going to take less to placate Watson?  I think they play hardball with Watson like they have so far--if they have been unwilling to negotiate down, why would they now?

Who’s this Watkins you speak of?

I will be honest--If DW does not want Carolina, we should not want him.  Take the hint and start building the OLine and Dline,  Let's see what Darnold does with protection--he has never really had it---and let's move on.  Not quitting, but I am not worrying about it...we do not want to trade a king's ransom for an unhappy camper.

Yea I’m at the point where I put a deadline down. You have our offer and it’s on the table until midnight tomorrow. Dragging this out just makes us look worse and worse as time goes on as we’re the only one that has been in it for a year without an acceptance.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
