Reports surrounding Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson and the Carolina Panthers continue to emerge. Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports reported over the weekend that the Panthers were one of the teams that showed interest in Watson while the Miami Dolphins have become frontrunners for his services. Does it make any sense at all for Carolina to pursue Watson given his ongoing legal troubles and the doubt of his football playing future?

Roster cutdowns are set to be finalized by 4 pm Tuesday afternoon. Who will make the Panthers initial 53? How will the team handle Shi Smith's injury when making decisions at WR? How many quarterbacks does the team carry behind Sam Darnold? Does Giovanni Ricci's versatility change the calculus at TE?

The Panthers also traded for Buffalo Bills DE and special teams ace Darryl Johnson. How might the addition of Johnson impact those on the roster bubble?
