JJ Watt being released

[GB-Brandon]

The way your making it sound Houston could of and should of traded him to all these teams at his current contract that he was at and got something for him if it was such a slam dunk.

It’s starting to become pretty obvious at +150. Tried telling everyone to get it at +400!!!

And it isn’t gonna be anywhere near 4 years 60 million!

If we dump Lowry, really we're only paying 7m/yr more for Watt. Kind of a bargain when you look at it like that.

[RashanGary]

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.

If 12 won’t do it, neither will Watt. Get 12 to extend a year and take like 30 and then you can picture Watt doing it too. If 12 doesn’t, no fucking way Watt comes to be the hero for a pampered bitch.

Cut Lowry (3 M savings)
Cut Preston (8M savings)
Cut Kirksey (5M savings)

That’s 16M plus Bakhs 8M. That should get us to the salary cap. Would still need to restructure Z and Rodgers to get Watt. So we’ll have to see more moves before Watt is a realistic scenario.

[GB-Brandon]

They can do better then Lowry with a solid draft pick. He needs to go as his hasn’t played anywhere near his pay scale. Consolidating some of his cap savings by cutting him towards Watt is a great way of looking at it.

Everyone keeps saying 12 won’t do it? LOL!! It’s really getting to be too much!! He is playing for the same pay grade as Jarred Goff right now!!! His contract is a bargain. 12 has said on two occasions now he would restructure his deal and possibly taking less(if they get him help) and give him “More Guaranteed $ over the three years” which gives him security!! We keep going round and round on this!!

It’s on Brian Gutekunst pal and his big Jordan Love Pick! If you expect Rodgers to take less with no guaranteed $ past this season then that’s not happening nor should it. He just had the highest graded season in NFL history and he has earned “Three More Years” of guarantees!!!

[RashanGary]

12 could take a pay cut and doesn’t. Trust me, Watt won’t be coming in and playing for 7-10. Go ahead and mark that down on the list of things you’re wrong about. It’s ever growing.

If anyone could be the hero here, it’s 12. And he won’t.

The Max deal on Watt would be close to the Peppers deal which was 3 year 30 Mill and I’m not sure the Packers will move the needle that far. Peppers was genetically a rare breed. Starting to get very risky in with a player at that price tag range and higher in this age group.

For the last time I’m not saying another team won’t pay big $ for him more. I’m saying the Packers porbably won’t. If the Browns or Wash Football Team want to break the bank for him and he wants to play there then go for it!!!

He’s been our Hero for over a decade now playing and making this shitty front office look good!!

One day you want them to trade Rodgers and the next day you want him to take a pay cut? The guy just won the MVP.

Which is it? He said he wants to re-structure and remain a Packer. I don’t know what else the guy can do. Gute has to make it happen from here.

[GB-Brandon]

See RG, This tells me JJ would rather play for a team that “Wins” and in a State “He Loves” for a Team that’s always been a “Dream” for “Less”!

Looks to me 17.5 million and Losing didn’t Mix for him and got REAL OLD. Why would he go do it and sign up for it all over again? He will take a discount to play with “12”. Your not seeing this too “Clearly” RG.

Why would he? He already is not paid top market for a QB. It's not like Brady was making peanuts. He took a handful mil less probably when he took less. Rodgers is sort of already there relative to his peers.

AROD probably has more money than he'll ever need in his life. I'm not saying he "should".
But he could if he wanted to give GB more cap relief to win now
