I would do a 1 year contract with him... At a reasonable price... but I'm sure he'll be lookin for that twilight haul in....

Worth a shot?

I definitely get the sense JJ is going to take less money to play for a winner. No way he leaves 17.5 million on the table if he didn’t feel that way.

take a look at 2020 stats, though. The man was seemingly healthy (played all 16) and had below average stats across the board. That being said? As I said in the other thread, a 2 year deal with opt out after year one, and incentive laden may be worth a serious look.

And, I wonder if he would like to go up against his brother twice in the same season. (this, of course, being cognizant of the fact that despite the fact that he might like to play with his brother....that team has absolutely no way to sign him under their cap restraints). Next best thing: play against his team twice?

I love that idea as long as he's got fuel in the tank...

I like something like this, maybe 20 million for two years, 12 million guaranteed something like that. He had a lot of pressures this year and with someone like Garrett on the other side his QB sacks would probably be way up over 2020, assuming he stays healthy.

Actually, I hear he is looking for a horse ranch....so I found one for him fairly for him:

While an edge has much more to their game then straight stat stuffing, it's worth pointing out how god awful the Texans were this year.

Hard to get pass rushing opportunities in the 2nd half when teams are running the ball on you to bleed clock with a 3 TD lead.

Unsympathetic

True that this past season was his first in 5?7? where he played all 16, he remains pretty good. Not greatly better than Olivier Vernon.

New site linked for this forum.. sports injury predictor for JJ watt suggests he's expected to miss 5 games to injury next year. Also lists his entire injury history.

Play against his brothers? lol...

Yeah he'd be opposite Derek for about 4 plays twice a season... what an inducement.

Hey, Gip...

Double or nothing for that $100 you owe me? I'll take PTG and you can have the other 31 teams.

I'm interested in the Watt wants to win where watch...

Going home to Green Bay with Rogers is his best landing spot imo.. a mere minus -28M over the cap

I'd really hate the Steelers... a mere minus -30M over the cap

stay tuned & Why not us ?

Good possibility be sure...

When I watched JJ play this last season, he looked like an average to slightly above average DL. Those injuries have taken a toll on him and he isn't the same player anymore. No way would I trade for him. I rather pay OV to come back for one year then take Watt.

He was 8th in qb pressures. He wasn’t average.

Your expertis at cullionocity is on display.

But if it is a wager that you actually want to make an agreement on: I will do it for my usual wager: a hot fudge sundae.

Now...you see this is how this works, and to quote Denzel, I will explain it to you like you are a 4th grader, which may be apt:

You have invited me to make a wager on a particular matter. (you wanna bet?) Now, I have proposed to accept your invitation to make a wager (OK, I will bet) .... but I have rejected your terms (that were never in place in the first place) .....and I have proposed the alternate terms of that wager: a hot fudge sundae being the stakes.

Now, it is up to you to accept and agree to those terms. If JJ Watt signs with the Steelers, you win the hot fudge sundae. If he signs with any other team, I win it. If you do not accept (as I did not on that other thing) there is no wager, no contract. No one gets anything.

See, now, this is a pretty simple legal construct that maybe even you can comprehend. (maybe 60/40).

The ball is in your court

Gipper you are on ignore. I feel like you think we are communicating via smoke signals or something. It’s just a pile of your bs burning. I didn’t send up the plume. You should just put me on ignore too, spare yourself the constant heartache.

This guy is an ignoramous that just doesn't get it. Again, I make commentary on sports here for the entire group's edification, not his. He occasionally may bring up a subject that bears specific subject commentary upon...like, say, Steeler's cap issues , but that commentary is not specifically directed at him. He, personally, is irrelevant.

And, if he were not such a Fucktard, he would have noted that there was that specific invitation to me to make a wager. So I responded to that direct question. I don't have either of them on ignore, because I am not craven.

And...another thing:

If they have me on "Ignore", then why can't they ignore me? As you all can tell, I certainly have no need to engage in repartee with them.....except, as I said, to comment on the substance of a post they make that may warrant commentary. Yet every other post they make is about the fact that they have me on ignore. Curiouser and Curiouser. I guess they can't really exist here without me.
