Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Just now, DJB said: If he has a dozen teams after him, then he's gonna get overpaid. I think Beane and Co. should get busy sussing out other FA pass rushing and DL talent.

Keep in mind that an average of 15-16M/yr can be set up in several ways. But, at that price, I think we'd be starving ourselves of some other pieces we need to assure success, and would be better off looking for a more "sleeper" contributor to improve our DL and pass rush. 1

Special K Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 4 minutes ago, DJB said: I think we are out If guys like Trent Murphy and Mario Addison can be paid at 8 million per, even an 80% JJ Watt has to be worth 15 million per, don't you think?? I'm not saying the Bills should pay him that much, but if its money he cares most about, he will get that much from someone.

Cause he is asking for to much? B. He just aint that good no more? C. Injury History? I say All of the above. The thing is he is not in a hurry, he has time. His age and him Injured to much is not going to get him far fast. He wants the money, Live cheap and retire on his last contract. Just like every other star vet his age. I cant blame him for any of this but is he going to give this team 1000%? A question worth discussion From Watt's perspective, what's the rush? If he has a dozen or so teams after him, he can take his time and pick and choose the best offer/situation.
Nihilarian Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Simply not worth that much money, 14-15 million for an aged player who has been often injured the last three years. If the guy is really that interested in that kind of money I tend to think he is looking for a last big payday before he retires. No thank you, next!

BillsDude Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 JJ's recent tweet saying: "Midday naps, loathed as a child, revered in adulthood" Another big clue pointing in Buffalo's direction. Buffalo/Bison not only rest during the day as they feed at early morning and dusk or nights, but they may have been hated/loathed by the __________ of the past because it allowed the ___________ to survive, yet they were highly revered by the __________ then for their for food, clothing, shelter and symbolic power, and revered now too by those _____________ and the____________who are unhappy with their endangered/minimal numbers now in existence. (I created blanks as I am not trying to be political here. JJ if you want to confirm, just fill in the blanks and tweet me. I promise not to tell anyone. Thanks.)
RichRiderBills Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I'd probably take a pass now...thought the price was going to be around 12-13....i will say if i knew he would be healthy i may consider overpaying, provided its a deal i could get out of. 1

I think Russini is connected and legit in what she reports The devil is always in the details - how much is guaranteed, how much is tied up in incentives, etc. But, I don't see how we can get into that ballpark of offer without stripping ourselves at other key positions critical for success, such as OL and LB. 1 1

We were one win from the Super Bowl.... JJ Watt would've put the necessary pressure on Mahomes to make him look like SB Mahomes.

If it's true, and there are offers for 15 or 16 million per year, I can't imagine him taking much less. What if the Jets were the team that offered him 15-16M a year? Or another non SB contender. If Tenn, GB and Buff are all in the 11-12M range, my money is that he’d sign with the contender for less. 1

Agreed. I’d rather see them put the money toward re-signing Daryl Williams. Protecting Allen is my top priority, and I’d hate to see them let a very good 29 year old right tackle walk away just to have to turn around and use a premium draft asset to replace him. 1
Magox Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Could very well be something his agent is pushing out there to push up the bid. It happens 4
BuffaloRebound Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 This has a feel like he’s not getting the offers he wants from the teams he wants to go to. If he was that in demand, this would be a done deal. 3
