Hope you learned something from Unsym's reply this time. He's got to be getting tired of posting variations of the same explanation.
What was I supposed to learn? I think he was arguing more with himself than anyone. No one said break the bank. Get him at all costs. Most everyone's feelings were great if we can, no biggie if we can't. Unless I missed interpreted something.
I think I even said somewhere, if we do get him I'd grab an additional edge guy with the first pick.
Either one of the fellas out of the U. Would work for me.

Yes!!! No one wants Watt on a longer deal. Repeat no one wants Watt on a longer deal. If he only wants us on a longer deal than we don’t want him. Pretty simple.
Draft Rousseau and bring on Watt on a short term deal. That’s your rotation on the other side.

He went out when they released a bunch of people a couple of years back (mainly older white men like Clayton, Werder) I guess it was an austerity move supposedly. Though they have also gotten rid of the likes of Michael Smith. And they fired Jemele Hill for, of all reasons...calling Trump a "white supremacist" of all things. (of course, that is exactly what he is).
But they have continued a purge lately, either firing or reassigning the likes of Dan LeBatard, Trey Wingo, Mike Golic, Michelle Beal , Will Cain, Tom Rinaldi..and others. Some claim it is over political correctness, but I think it is over money. They are cheap and that is why people leave, or why they let them go if they are making too much. Think of all the people that left there and went elsewhere (either Fox or NBCsports).

The actual numbers.
I think he was arguing more with himself than anyone
If I'm arguing with myself, then will you support my petition to Zombo to delete every profile [including yours] that posted contradictory statements to mine? This forum bans sock puppets. After all, if I'm arguing with myself, of course you'd support this - because you are me!
Didn't think so.
No one said break the bank. Get him at all costs.
Strawman argument. Multiple people have said "we have >10M space" earlier in this very thread. [and yes, it was a different number each time.]
To be clear and concise: Spending over 10M for JJ is breaking the bank given the assumptions I've detailed earlier in this thread.
If your position has actually swung around to "don't break the bank to sign him" .. then I'm glad to see you finally agree with this poster from earlier on page8 of this thread:
if Watt is willing to sign for 2/13, great!
We really would save a lot of time next thread if you'd start by agreeing with me.. My analysis would be the same.

Watt 4-5 years ago...no doubt.
Today he is a broken down player on his last leg. I pass unless we are talking 2 years at 9mil, plus incentives to get him up to maybe 12 mil total.
My theory is sign players for who they are, not what they were.

As long we have an outside shot at Watt.
The discussion should also include the alternative to no Watt. If there’s no money that precludes Barrett, Williams, Hendrickson, Clowney, Ngakoue types. We know the Browns pursued Clowney last season and given the potential loses of Vernon and Ogunjobi - fair to say premier draft capital and maybe a decent signee or both will happen?
Let’s do a quick run down of the D Line.
Garrett
Ogunjobi (likely gone)
S. Richardson
Gustin
Vernon (likely gone; if he’s back is he recovered next year)
Billings
Elliot
Taylor
Clayborn
Good Depth but we need a starter type on the other edge and we have a few guys in this mix nearing the end of their tenures in their careers or at the very least time with the Browns.

Per this report, Watt's chances of going to Steelers are slim and none, and Slim just left the building:
It says Packers, Bills, Titans are the favorites with Browns and Raiders still possible:

he will be a packer. would be nice if he comes here but don't have my hopes up.

We'll see what happens around 3/15. I think Berry is extremely intelligent & "forward thinking". I trust him & his staff to make the move(s) that best helps the Browns now & later.

JJ Watt just signed with the Cardinals, 2 years @$31 million.
Glad that's over.

Glad to see he is chasing the ring. With the 49ers, Rams and Seahawks in their division the Cardinals won't smell playoffs.

2 yr. 31M / 23M guaranteed. That’s a little rich. Good luck JJ.
Looks like he still wanted to make some money.
Next....What’s plan B?

Yeah I do not understand this move one bit. This isn't playing for a contender, this is a money grab. But if its just a money grab, then why leave Houston. Yeah the Cardinals are a better team, but they aren't smelling an NFC Championship let alone a SB anytime soon.

I don’t see that is chasing a ring I see it is chasing the money

I sensed a little sarcasm in the post you responded to- the Cards at their very best appear to be a first playoff exit type of team.
-
Cards have their QB and a first-ballot HOF-level WR.. whether they have the right OL, defense and coaches in place to make a run of any sort is a different thread altogether.
Now we can close this thread and move to the business of actual championship contenders => signing free agents with good value to affordable contracts so that the backups can perform when called upon to keep next year's run on the tracks.
