JJ Watt being released

[GB-Brandon]

This makes way more sense then some stupid Corner!!!

Aren’t people tired of leaving the game in the hands of DB’s? Haven’t you’ve felt enough heartbreak doing this?

[RashanGary]

Watt gonna get 15 per at least

[GB-Brandon]

Watt gonna get 15 per at least

He could of got 17.5 if he stayed in Houston. That’s not the point of “What he can get.” He didn’t leave Houston so he could go get “15” at some other similar situation somewhere else. He has a plan in mind. It was all calculated. We’ll see what the plan was sooner then later.

My $ says he is gonna be a Packer!

[RashanGary]

Yeah, that’s not happening. He’s gonna get paid. Period.

[GB-Brandon]

The two teams that sources say he wants to go too can’t pay him 15-17 mil per year. Not even close.

We’ll see.

[GB-Brandon]

Pittsburgh has younger players in Stephon Truitt and Cameron Heyward who are producing at a very high level. I’m not sure they even have a need for Watt as a starter. He would be more of a rotational piece and they have currently have Chris Wormley. I don’t see a need in Pittsburgh. Certainly not at 15-17 million!!

[GB-Brandon]

He will have to go to Cleveland or maybe Indy to get that $. Niners might be able to make it happen depending on what they do. Tampa always being an option.

I would have to believe that if Watt is truly thinking Green Bay is preferred destination (and why wouldn't they be with Rodgers at QB and coming off back to back 13-3 seasons) that if Gute and the front office showed any reciprocating interest that it has a high chance of getting done.

Watt doesn't strike me as the type of guy (obviously could be wrong) looking to cash out big he. He knows he's worth a good chuck but has already made a mountain of money and his desire to win is what drives him. I could see him easily taking around 10mil/year deal and given a desired team a discount to try and get a ring. Is he worth that even though he's been injury prone and is not near the player he was five years ago?

Absolutely. He played all 16 games last year and was still often the focus of opposing defenses. He motivational influence on others can't be underestimated and like prior posters have noted, he doesn't take plays off. When he leaves the field you can pretty much rest he assured he's the player who has nothing left and can look in the mirror with a clean conscience after any loss. Who wouldn't want a defensive leader like him as he makes everyone around him better.

If only we were privy to knowing if he had the Packers at the top of his list or that they were simply equal to the other contending teams (which would greatly decrease our chances of signing in any type of bidding war). I just have to believe that we're in on trying to sign him as if we're not, I'll be extremely disappointed in the front office given our current RDE is Tyler Lancaster.

Saw a FB post asking if we could fund Watt with jersey sales and had to chuckle as I know I'd have one.

This is more of “The Wavelength Of Reality” I believe. If it was all about $ Watt simply would of stayed in Houston(A City He Fell In Love with). He is in no position nor is the market for him to be “Setting the Market” right now.

The teams that need his services, that are contenders along with willingness to spend narrows his “Matches” quickly. I’m pretty certain where the guy wants to Play!! 10mill will be the Max too!!

[RashanGary]

He’s going to get paid. 7M is an absolute pipe dream. Double at least and even that is a deal.

[RashanGary]

Reggie averaged 13 sacks per year between the ages of 32 and 37. Watt is going to be a beast late in his career. 4 years 60M with 20 up front and over 30 in the first two years.

[RashanGary]

10 is a pipe dream. Period.

[RashanGary]

4/60 with 20M signing bonus

Base—— dead cap —— cap hit
2 ———20M ————7M
10———15M————15M
14———10M————19M
14———-5M————19M


Watt will look something like that on a contract. Or worse.

Once again nobody is disputing that a team out there isn’t willing to pay that contract. You seem to be missing the point on what JJ Watt may value right now though. Time will tell.

[GB-Brandon]

Pittsburgh isn’t giving him 4 years 60 million. No way in hell with what they have set up and their situation. So basically he is gonna make a lateral move or maybe get on a contending playoff team best case scenario to get that deal. Why not just stay in Houston?

Your making zero sense again RG!
