any takers on JJ Watt, Im all in/To be released

[superphin]

At this point he'd be best utilized as a 3rd down pass rush specialist. His days as an every down player are over and with a $17.5 million dollar price tag no way is he worth it. Unless time travel is a thing and we can get JJ Watt circa 2012 he'd have to take a big pay cut.

I think JJ would be a good fit for us, he would bring leadership and relentless motor, even at his age to help propel our D to the next level. What say you

I’ll answer you only after you tell us all how many complete seasons he’s played in the last 5 yrs. Play Jeopardy theme

 

[Michael Scott]

I'd rather spend that money on a receiver like Chris Godwin, guard like Joe Thuney, or younger and more consistent pass rusher like Judon or Reddick.

 

[Heinegrabber]

Does he bring his own medical staff?

 

[KingHydra]

I love JJ Watt but don't wanna part with a 1st round pick.

 

[DuderinoN703]

No chance.

I love JJ Watt, but no. We're a young team and we're gearing up for another infusion of talent with 4 picks in the top 50 of the 2021 draft. We could realistically find 6 starters by their 3rd year! Watt is too injury prone and old to be a center piece of this rebuild, IMHO. Xavien Howard and Byron Jones have a good 7 years more as a dynamite duo. Van Noy was brought in to teach this defense, but we will look to draft his replacement this year and weave him in during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. We're eventually going to replace our safeties, but that's a few years off. Otherwise, our defense is in place and after this draft, we should be mostly set for the next 5 years.

I think we replace one safety this year either in FA or the draft

If he agree to be a rotation player, and take a pay cut. He would be very effective if giving him only half of the snaps.

 

[BennySwella]

Watt would be a good addition for a reasonable late round pick.

 

[Finsup4ever]

JJ Watt will be looking to Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Rams, or in other words a team he sees as a serious super bowl contender. I also don't see is going this direction.

Then there is this....

JJ Watt:
Takes asset, probable pick to acquire
$17.5 million
Signed for one year, hits free agency
31 years old, declining

Leonard Williams:
Free agent, no asset to acquire
$10-$11 million
Would be signed for multiple years
26 years old entering his prime

I would rather go after Williams who was more productive than Watt last year.

Coach Flo's system really uses 3 safeties, and atm, that's all we have. So, you're probably right, I called for a safety or two to be drafted this year ... but it's a kinda meh class to be honest.

Owusu-Karamoa is a hybrid LB/S who should be there at 18.

 

[ccdolfan]

JJ was a great player and can still be good, but is no longer an every down player. For the phins he is too old and too injury prone...bad fit.

 

[hoops]

Pass. too much money on a player trending down and older with an extensive injury history
