  • 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.

  • Sign him for two or three years and draft a young buck in the first round to give him breathers on the sideline in between plays.

    Well, again, someone needs to explain the whole cap situation.   Unsymp says the Browns have no room. And even with the retirements of  McDonald, Pouncey, and if BR takes a vast pay cut, that still does not get the Steelers to the cap break even point.   I don't know about the other teams above here. 

    So...how is that all going to work for someone that has no cap space?

    At this point how many teams will be willing to give Watt a long term deal? My guess is none.  One year rent a player deal with a lot of incentives. 

  • 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 ?

     1. The Browns MAY spend unused cap from the previous year.  We have a lot.  

    2. They don’t have to extend any player of Major significance in the 2021 offseason.

    3. They don’t have to extend any player of major significance but they have to be mindful of the players they sign in 2021 and how their cap numbers (if we sign anyone beyond a one year deal) may play out in 2022, 2023 and down the road when we need to sign our own and Garrett’s cap number is more of a burden.  
     

    Watt on a one year deal mentoring the 6-7 rookies we draft is not a bad situation.

    Well there's the kicker. He will only sign with someone who offers a multi-year deal IMO.

    We will see.  I think he goes to the right team before he takes a 2 - 3 year offer from a team like Broncos, Bengals, etc.

    I’m not sure he would want to sign with the likes of Denver or Cincy.

    If he wanted to play for a basement dwelling team, it would’ve made sense to stay with the Texans.

  • From SI......

    HOME SWEET HOME..... just a thought ?

    It is common for aging superstars in all pro sports to want to live out a childhood fantasy and play for the team they rooted for as a child. Watt has spent his entire pro career in Houston, which is more than 1,100 miles from his hometown of Pewaukee, Wisc. and from Madison, Wisc., where he played college football.

    It would make perfect sense if he wanted to move back north and get back in touch with his roots.

    Best fit: Green Bay. He grew up a Packers fan, and Green Bay is about 130 miles from home. If this is what he wants, it’s no contest.

    From FanNation...... another thought ?

    Moreover, the Packers’ salary-cap problems have been well documented. The Packers are $28.2 million over a projected cap of $180.5 million, according to OverTheCap.com. While the cap might very well be greater, whatever the number, the Packers have the fifth-worst cap situation in the NFL. So, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and cap guru Russ Ball have a lot of work to do just to get below the cap for the start of the league-year on March 17, let alone carving out space for the five-time All-Pro or wrestling with internal free agents such as running back Aaron Jones and center Corey Linsley (from Boardman Ohio)

  • I know it's not likely... But I would lose it if he signed in Cleveland. Watt and Garrett together? Lights OUT.

    Too good to be true...... maybe not if he wants to go with a contender -and- cap friendly.

    There's always the 3-year deal with mutual options after each year.

    True, but as explained repeatedly it's money that has accumulated from being under the cap so long and once used is gone forever.

    So do you spend a chunk of it on Watt?

    If you believe that JJ is the one player between you and the SB, then, and only then, you do.

  • It seems to me, fair to say,   that  one of the Browns goals this offseason is to  shore up the defensive line somehow.    And, perhaps, a more sure way to do that is to bring in a proven veteran,  while also keeping options open to drafting a player there. 

    Would there be a more sure option out there than bringing in JJ Watt? 

    Or, are there some other FA  Defensive Linemen out there that would be  a better choice?   Either from the talent/production standpoint....or the monetary standpoint?   Names?
