JJ Watt being released

[SudsMcBucky]

Reports are coming out that there's at least 1 offer to JJ for 16-18 million. If THAT's what it takes, no thanks. We have way too many more fish to fry than to tie that much up when we're already so strapped on the cap.

This is what I expected, i was thinking something like Z

This is shitty news!

I love how y’all are like, if Watt wants $18 M, then fuck him and everything Aryan about him, as if y’all gonna fork the bill.

Nigga, please! The cap always be cooked. In an era in which the Networks pay billions to the NFL for the right to expose us to corporate ads on any given Sunday, Monday and Thursday, the NFL salary cap merely serves one, and only one, purpose: it gives the pig owners an excuse cut labor expenses.

The Packers have over $400 M sitting in a foreign bank earning interests faster than the speed of fuck. Packer owners are a bunch of irrelevant folks holding unprofitable “stocks,” and therefore they don’t pocket any of the profits the Packers make. And it ain’t like the next time the Packers want a shinny new arena, they’re gonna milk their saving to pay for it.

Sure, that asshole, Father Time, eventually - and mercilessly - deteriorate every jock’s Kung Fu. But Father Time is still 2 paces behind Watt. Watt’s still a legitimate push rusher. He’s still an extraordinary run stopper. He still can tip passes like Dikembe Mutombo used to block basketballs. And Watt can still play TE.

The Packers certainly have the frogskins pay to Watt. And they should.

[smuggler]

I was thinking he'd get an offer around $17m/r AAV. Preston's contract is two years old and he got something like $13m/yr AAV.

Whoever pays JJ Watt 16 - 18 million is a fool. Watt will have to be babied, thus meaning fewer snaps, and he's already a ghost of the player he was. It's not like he's going to regain his old form.

Hopefully those reports are just a bogus leak by Watt's agent to get potential suitors to increase their offers. Agree Packers shouldn't pay that much.

Babied? Watt played 16 games last season without being babied.

Last I checked, Watt didn’t play RB. Age 32 ain’t age 22, but plenty of hotshot defensive linemen remained effective well into their 30’s. Sacks don’t always tell the whole story, but 92 had 16 sacks at 37. Strahan, 18.5 at 32. Bruce Smith played til he was 60 or something without ever being babied.

Father Time likely won’t catch up to Watt til 2026.

The Packers didn’t blink twice when they opted to pay Cletidus Clark that much. Clark ain’t the legitimate pass rusher nor the extraordinary run stopper Watt has been. Ain’t even close.

Well, but they DID give Clark that much, and they DID give Bakh that much, and they WILL give Adams that much. There's only so much to go around. Maybe they can make it work if the guaranteed money isn't too much. But I doubt it.

I have Tank blocked, but ask who signed that Hunt contract from the GM side.

Wasn't the wreck of a GM during that time frame Sherman? If so would make sense. That contract and the Joe Johnson signing still leave a bad taste in my mouth.

How about "Kneeless" LaVar Arrington?

How about trading up to grab a punter who couldn't get off the bench and we carried two punters on the roster that year?
