Panthers head coach Matt Rhule reaffirmed his belief in starting quarterback Sam Darnold on Thursday and dismissed the notion of a potential trade for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
"I haven’t done any work on anyone else," Rhule said Thursday, per the New York Daily News's Pat Leonard. I believe Sam [Darnold] will be a great quarterback for the Carolina Panthers."
Trade rumors regarding Watson have heated up in recent days as the NFL trade deadline looms on Nov. 2. The Dolphins are reportedly a potential suitor for Watson, as are the Eagles, per Jeff Howe and Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.
