Deshaun Watson’s ongoing trade saga could go on a while yet, but can the Carolina Panthers afford to wait around in their pursuit of a new quarterback?

It’s funny how one comment can set the NFL world alight in the frenzied offseason period. ESPN’s beat writer David Newton merely gave a bold prediction regarding the Carolina Panthers giving up three first-round picks and star running back Christian McCaffrey in pursuit of securing a trade for Deshaun Watson this offseason, which was then misconstrued into a story claiming the organization was ready to launch this offer to the Houston Texans in the not-too-distant future.
