Ryan's bonus kicks in at 4pm, after which it would be nearly impossible for them to cut or trade him and make Watson work. 

He's wrong in the fact that Atlanta is backing out on their own volition. Watson is waiting for them to make a decision, not the other way around like he phrased it. If they can't deal Matt Ryan, they just can't make a deal work.

I mean the saints restructured everybody and can fit DWs contract. If the falcons can’t get rid of Ryan his second choice is clearly NO and Carolina is a distant distant third 

My point exactly.. Let him go to a Sean Paytonless NO with little to no assets.. While we build up the better younger roster..

As someone stated, I wonder how the Texans feel about enabling the Colts (rival) to obtain Matt Ryan… 

It's a clusterf*ck and that's why this is dragging on so long.

Atlanta is Watson's #1 choice. But they don't offer the best trade package to Houston. And they'd be enriching a division rival to make a trade work (most likely).

Panthers probably still have the most assets on the table to trade for Watson. The Panthers are probably the Texans preferred trade partner.

Saints are a wildcard. They don't offer the best trade package most likely, maybe why they needed a second meeting with Watson. They need to win over him personally over the Panthers.

I think they're still just a little bit short, otherwise we'd have already been officially eliminated, instead as last resort in case both Falcons and Saints can't make it work

Under Tepper, the Panthers don’t win 

as long as he keeps Rhule, winning at an organizational level, is not going to happen 

Winning also doesn’t happen when you change coaches after two years

Gotcha, yea you're right on that part. They've got to back out after 4pm because of Ryan's contract not them not wanting Watson

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
