Then you get drafted to the Cardinals, and have a great career out in the desert. Make tons of money, get some accolades, but the team is bad now. Eventually, you ask for and secure your release. You can sign anywhere, and the Bills are suddenly a great team, 1 game away (and maybe 1 defensive playmaker away) from winning that first Super Bowl you used to dream of as a kid. Minus the first super Bowl and suddenly being good teams parts, Watt is in that position with Green Bay right now. So, Your saying there is a chance?!!!........................
machine gun kelly Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I said Cleveland. Why? He would play opposite Myles Garrett, they have $, they have talent, they won a playoff game, and could make their defense punishing even if he doesn’t get 16 sacks. GB, PITT, and some others are pipe dreams. They don’t have the $. Buffalo is a good choice for him, but we are tight on the cap and we need to extend people. You can only restructure, reduce, or remove so many. Id say no on Tampa, because if you were them, they already have Suh and JPP getting older on that line, so why wouldn’t they invest in extending Barrett who is much younger and a destructive force. Light is not dumb. They also have a bunch of others as URFA’s. If they cut anyone or not extend, it’s going to be the guys over 30.
Ray Stonada Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I don't love Watt as a personality, but he does offer something we need. Earlier this year my dad texted me saying we are great but we don't have a Bruce. Watt would give us that guy that the offense always has to be aware of, in big games, when he can turn it on. He could create some fear, and we don't have a guy like that in our front seven...

TheFunPolice Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Baker is Alex Smith with a bit more of an edge. Unfortunately for Cleveland, "an edge" doesn't win titles. Talent does. 1 1
Nick the Greek Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Am I the only one that thinks Watt is like 5 years past his prime? yea, he was a superstar at his one point, but at this point in his career I feel like he wouldn’t be worth the money.

He’d be our best pass rusher and is great vs the run, can move all around the line and was the most double teamed edge rusher in the league last season....sure, he’s past his prime, but he’s still a very good to great player imo. well worth it, especially for how we are currently constructed Edited February 23, 2021 by NewEra
TheFunPolice Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I change my vote... He's coming here. 1. Blue and red hearts 2. chicken wing posts 3. references to snow 4. Mitocondria Research Society is located in Buffalo at Roswell Park (maybe he's already looking into causes to get involved with)
Eastport bills Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Love to see him elsewhere. Shaq Barrett, Hendrickson, Judon and Reddick are all cheaper, younger and better health options.
NewEra Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 24 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: GB. Let them pay for his tail end. I think he’ll end up in GB too, but I think he’s be well worth a 1-2 year deal to come to Buffalo. Seems like you don’t think he’s worth it. What are your opinions on how we should attack improving our pass rush? Any free agents or prospects that you’d be angling for in particular?

If a deal could be crafted to escalate with production and games played, just his presence would be beneficial to the defense. The reality is he'll get 2 or 3 with big money guaranteed.
BarleyNY Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 6 hours ago, Greg S said: I think he goes home. Went with GB. I think that GB would be his first choice, but I don’t think they can afford him. It should be announced soon. FWIH his agent has squeezed all the money he can out of suitors. Now it is just up to Watt to take his pick of the honest offers. My best guess is Cleveland followed by Buffalo. But I don’t have any insight on that part of it. TB would be smart for a shot at a ring obviously. Watt is very private and has kept his cards very close to his vest on this so everything out there is just speculation.

I went with Green Bay because I’m a Bills fan and still conditioned to think we can’t have nice things. Well the jury is still out if JJ is still considered a "nice thing." He's a name ill give you that. 1
frostbitmic Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I'm guessing his brothers will talk him into Pittsburgh and they'll find a way to get him under the cap.

I bet he takes less money than all but Reddick, he will give up a little cash to ensure his team can win.
Augie Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 7 hours ago, Maynard said: I’m leaning towards Green Bay or Buffalo. Green Bay more so. Between those options I hope it’s Green Bay. In the last 5 years he has 26.5 sacks, and 16 of those came in one season 3 years ago. In the last 2 years he has only 9 sacks. If you say “well, he was hurt one of those years and missed games”, I will respond “again”. I’m NOT opposed to signing him, I’m just opposed to overpaying or not protecting the team financially in case he IS washed up or injured again. I trust our FO to get this right.
BillsfaninSB Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Will this be the 2021 version of the Antonio Brown watch? I hope so. That was a fun time. So so glad that did not work out though.

Right, he was just the most double teamed DE in the NFL, and still had a top 10 pressure rate.
