    I don't know how much he's got left. Plus, he makes around $16 million a year. I don't think he'd fit the analytics but what do I know?

    My hunch is he'll try to get with his brothers in Pittsburgh.

    No way we would pay for him to come here. Pretty well past his prime, we’d be paying for what he’s done in the past.

    Doubt Pittsburgh has the $ to sign him.

    Green Bay on the other hand...?

    Draft pick.  3rd or a 4th.  Houston needs picks.

    He fits into our short term cap space and his deal expires after next season 

    Steelers no way no how.  No cap room.

     Personnel wise... Damn, JJ would be a great addition in replacing OV while we keep our edge depth roll players.

     Would allow this draft and next to turn over late round rocks in hoping we find cheap(er) youth.

    I love the idea honestly.   We have 9 picks this year.  I don’t think adding 9 rookies to a team that is ready to contend for the title is the solution.

    Pittsburgh cannot be signing anyone like JJ Watt.  Hell, they are so far over the cap they may have to get rid of TJ Watt!     Well....not really.  He is the last guy they would trade.  They would dump BR first along with half their OL and DB.  

    As I see it....only maybe  3 players from that team will be impervious from salary cap cuts:    TJ Watt;  Claypool;  Minkah. ...and maybe Heyward. maybe DeCastro.

    Start with a 3, if they beg and plead add a 4.. no more. 

    JJ has a ridiculous injury history throughout his career, he very possibly falls apart at some point next season like Ironman's final suit. Or he plays another 10 full years and is a first-ballot HOF.. flip a coin.

    With 9 picks in a contending team, these kind of 1 year signs make a lot of sense. And having more rotation in the Dline is welcome.

    He won't be asked to carry the weigh of the defense here and he has surprised me with his gameplay after all the injuries he has been through.

    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.

    JJ played 16 games 7 of his 10 season, including this year. 

    It's his work on the edge against the run along with a possible pitch count that intrigue me.

    For a "futures" contract....which means like  -0- money.

    I'd give pick 4B .

    Adding him on a 1 year lease on a team that's only a player or two from serious contention sure seems fun.

    And yeah here his pitch count would fall more in favor of his age.

    Im also all about keeping Vernon. 

    I mean next year im assuming we get delprit and greedy back on the back end.

    Haha...I must have missed your post(s) on JJ Watt....

    The D line is definitely important, and all teams including the Browns are always looking to improve. If the Browns are to upgrade their D with trades or FA acquisitions, I'd think most of us agree they'd look at the LB spots or secondary as priorities right now over the D line.

    Never thought of that, meaning the Steelers & the cap. So yeah, Pittsburgh sounds like they are heading to cap hell.

    During many NFL broadcasts they kept mentioning how the cap will go down. I'm just wondering if the league & union are able to open up talks about that. The uncertainty of the pandemic probably means management wouldn't be willing to, with the possibility of no fans again.
