LyndonvilleBill Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I keep going back and forth. My fan brain says go for it and sign him, but my normal brain says don't. My common sense says they will keep what they have (Addison, AJ, Hughes, Love, Cox, Johnson),draft one early and use the savings to sign our own. I am so confused. Might have to schedule a DR. For this one... Thank Goodness I have all of you...😱 1 1

My fingers after F5 since the news Watt was released... I'm now having to use another unit and let's just say I should have taken it easy upon hearing the news Watt was interested in us

Would you drink a whole curdled milk container if it meant JJ Watt would sign with us?

I’m surprised it’s not causing a bit more of a ruckus on here.

I see nothing in what he said to imply that it's the Bills. Fowler is probably just speculating anyway so I wouldn't put much stock into it. https://247sports.com/Article/JJ-Watt-Packers-perfect-fit-NFL-free-agency-signing-timeline-Bills-Titans-Texans-Wisconsin-161626432/ Edited March 1, 2021 by vincec

No way JJ takes the vet min, yeah he wants to win but he also wants some money as well. Plus there’s too many egos in Green Bay starting with the HC butting heads with Rodgers etc
BuffaloRebound Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 If Watt doesn’t pick Green Bay, it won’t have anything to do with the salary cap. They could easily make it work if they want it to.

First off Rodgers would have to take a massive restructuring to his contract, plus Green Bay has always been known to be cheap when it comes to Free Agency, they don’t like to spend money.

Give Watt a 3 year deal, small base salary. Upfront signing bonus in year 1 . Bam low salary cap number , big signing bonus, easily cuttable year 2 and 3. Minimal impact on this years salary cap

First off Rodgers would have to take a massive restructuring to his contract, plus Green Bay has always been known to be cheap when it comes to Free Agency, they don’t like to spend money. $8m over the cap isn’t much. Could easily convert Rodgers salary and roster bonus to a signing bonus. He’s probably due a new contract coming off an MVP year anyway. Maybe that’s what Watt’s waiting on. Can’t see Watt going to Green Bay unless Rodgers is a happy camper.
