I’m warming up to the JJ Watt idea

[thenorthremembers]

Love the leadership he'd bring to the team, but think he still demands 13-15 million a year, which is very rich for a 32 year old defensive end.   I think he makes more sense for teams like the Browns, Colts, or Patriots who have a little more money, but if the cap ends up more than the expected 175 million, I'd welcome him here.

[TheBeaneBandit]

He's probably the most realistic type of option in our current situation. A 1-3 year deal with the 2nd and 3rd year being a team option and I'm in.

[mushypeaches]

I'm lukewarm at best for anything beyond 1 year @ $5M

 

But good grief, if we gave Josh Norman $6M for this past year, and left Trent Murphy on the bench for $9M, I can see the argument for wanting even the slowly rotting overrated corpse of JJ Watt

Do you guys really want him after what he did to EJ?

 

I think he will go to Green Bay.  Its close to home and maybe he and Rodgers can give each other the support they both need to come out as gay.

If Rodgers is gay he is doing quite a good job hiding it with some smokin' hot girlfriends.

Isn't he the "frontman celebrity" for that looney cult Scientology.

If the Texans cut him then yes (He doesn't have a dead cap number). Which they should do if they're rebuilding, to give him an opportunity to win now.

 

Even then, he;s looking at a minimum of Mario Addison money. 3 years 30M. Though the Bills end up saving 10M by cutting Mario. You're basically trading him for Mall Milano (which I would do without hesitation). He still had a pretty good PFF grade for his 2020 season

Good point. 
 

I think we can all agree that our loyalty to EJ runs way too deep.

His current output is not that great.  I mean he is a cool dude and would be great in the community and in the locker room but he is not the JJ Watt of 5 years ago in terms of on field production, he no longer exists.  Severe back injuries are bad for a defensive lineman.

[ndirish1978]

LOL at all these people thinking this is madden. "Sure we will take him, but only on a vet minimum deal." Pie in the sky high hopes here. He'll get cut for his salary cap figure but he's not signing somewhere for half of what he was making, he will get 14+

On its face first I didn’t like it because of watts injury history then I took a look at just how many snaps he plays for Houston and you factor in the fact that we use a rotation he is in on literally over 80% of the snaps for Houston

 

right now and would not get that snap count here so perhaps he could stay healthy and be the dominant player that we have seen

 

We need an impact player on the defense why is nasty a leader in a play maker when healthy to make room for him
 

 Cut Addison Butler Jeffersonand do some restructures

 

I just don't think he will come here. 

 

Id be shocked if he didn't sign with Pittsburgh to play with his brothers. 

[Steve Billieve]

I don't think he'll make a decision based on dollars, I think he's looking for a place with the kind of determination and mindset the Bills have. Where else can you find that?

If so many think Beane can pull the strings to finagle Watt under the cap, why wouldnt he pick some of these off the FA vine?

 

Lets the conversation begin.....

I would watch @Jauronimo's reaction video on Youtube.

Just imagine if we'd drafted Watt instead of Dareus...

I think the biggest single mindset change for bills fans is that we are just as big a candidate for a ring chaser as any other team in the league now

 

We def aren’t as big a candidate as the chiefs.  Any team with Brady and Rodgers and teams that play in the NFC (because they don’t have to go through the chiefs to make the SB) are better candidates imo.  The Steelers are (for JJ Watt) because he brothers play there.  We’re probably up next.

Count me in as happy if we don’t get the self promotional JJ Watt but lol at the notion that we’re undesirable as seems to be the picture you’re trying to paint,

[Charles Romes]

Hard pass.  I find him obnoxious and tad un-genuine.

I see him joining the steelers or chase his ring with the chiefs, packers or Bucs if Brady returns 

If Pitt he’d get to play with his brother.
