Well, I've been saying all along that I don't want him if money is driving him, but I what I've meant by that is I want him to come to the Bills for less than some other team is offering. If as you say, it's possible for the cap to go that high, then he'd be foolish to sign now and leave a few million on the table just because he wanted to get it done. If the Bills are offering $12 and the cap goes to $200, he can get another million or two or three out of the Bills.

If he is looking for every last penny then more power to him but Buffalo is not the place for him. I think it's pretty well established now that the salary cap will fall somewhere between $180 - $185 million. It's not even going into the $190s, let alone the $200s.

This is nothing like asking a girl out to the prom or whatever. 1

Josh was born wanting to be a Bill even though he grew up a Tom Brady fan. I'm glad the FO doesn't think this way or we would have like 5 players. The Bills aren't the only contenders and one of the contenders in on him is his childhood team. Why wouldn't that cause conflict? Conversely, I would question the decision making of a player who has extreme tunnel vision. 1
YoloinOhio Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 2 hours ago, HappyDays said: Yeah but there's no reason for teams to rush into it. It makes no difference if he signs now or he signs one day before free agency. For teams like us and the Packers and the Titans a $2 million difference is meaningful. Unless I've missed something I haven't seen any team re-sign a player or pick up a 5th year option yet. The only moves I've seen so far are teams releasing players. That tells me teams are being extra cautious right now and no new player contracts will be inked until the NFL finalizes the cap number. Once that happens I bet Watt is signed somewhere within a couple days. Yes and no on the teams. They need to get their other FA priorities in line plus get their draft board in order. Plus know how much $ they have to work with. The sooner the better from their standpoint. They need to be under the cap by 3/17 so other moves hinge on this one 2

Trey Hendrickson was a 3rd rounder. za'darius smith Was a 4th rounder. stephon tuitt Was a 2nd rounder. romeo okwara And Shaq Barrett weren’t drafted. of course if the Bills sign Watt, I’d be extremely happy. But $10 million/ year at least plus for a guy with 9 sacks in 2 years who has major injury issues is a big scary. I’d like to think McDermott could find a young hungry guy in the draft who is on the rise or a FA who is trending up and doesn’t have the name recognition. 1 hour ago, Boxcar said: Who cares?

I’m not making a case for Watt one way or the other as there are perfectly valid reasons on both sides of the issue. I was legit asking about a DE at pick 30 who is as good as Watt is right now and thought you had a specific prospect in mind.

Brennan Huff Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 It would be great if by the time Watt is ready to make a decision, everyone just passed. It’s been 3 weeks JJ, we’ve moved on without you....
IgotBILLStopay Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Per a source: At this point the front-runners appear to be actually the Browns and the Packers. So if a decision is made in the next 2-3 days, it will likely be between these 2. Sry can’t say more - though there can still be a last minute twist. 1 1
