HappyDays Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Kevin Colbert (Steelers GM) had a presser today where he said he is concerned with planning to build the team without knowing what the cap situation will even look like. I have to think every GM feels the same. Wouldn't surprise me if Watt goes unsigned until the final cap number is nailed down. 1

They will take calculated risks but they want to be relevant for a long time. And put me in the school that thinks other than a QB it is rarely one guy that puts a team over the top. But a 2 yr deal 12/per deal is not a "pushing the chips into the middle" situation. It's a great short term fix of a problem. Replacing Addison/Jefferson/Butler w Watt/K Short/draft pick is an overall cost reduction and performance upgrade. This would show more Beane magic, showing the love early in a period of cap uncertainty. IMO, the longer Watt goes unsigned the less likely the Bills get him - because all things being equal the Packers and Pitt have the advantage. Beane made his big move early last year and the results were terrific - time to strike again (I smell Exec of the year repeat). 1 1 1
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Von Miller is still my choice over Watt.

I was hoping this would be the case, if Pitt and GB are reluctant to put in a bid at this time the Bills chances shoot upward if an early decision is to be made. And while Beane may feel trepidation with the cap situation, this is when a top Exec earns his money. A Cleveland vs Bills competition clearly leans the Bills way (no matter what that Cleveland fan tries to claim).
Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 OK this is starting to get old pretty fast.... imo
BuffaloRebound Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Watt would be smart to sign before Von Miller hits market. Watt has it to himself now.

What is taking so long? This is the first day that the franchise tag can be use too but crickets because wtf is the cap #. I mean it’s been estimated anywhere between 175 and 185, we can assume 180 but why the mystery

Who knows when that will be done. Surely by March teams will know. Edited February 17, 2021 by HappyDays
