Was reading here a few days ago, people were thinking we could trade Addison for a 4th or 5th rounder I believe it was. LOL I think Watt could have been traded in the real world. But supposedly they decided to release him so he could sign where he wants. If you think there isn't a team out there willing to trade a draft pick for JJ Watt, even on a one year deal, I don't know what to tell you. They could have gotten a third or 4th rounder probably, but the Texans decided they wanted to allow Watt to choose his own future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's younger very good d-lineman available this year as well - that's the route I would take if The Bills decide to spend some cash on one higher up free agent. I don't know - given the cash outlay we're going to have for Josh maybe 2 or 3 years fits the cap strategy better than a 5 year deal especially with free agents. Most of the guys who are decent pass rushers will not be looking for short deals. I think it would also push pass rushing down the list of needs a little, at least for next year. And if he plays 3TDT a little so be it, looks like he can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the cap will be much higher in a few years and even a 5 year deal usually only has about 3ish guaranteed years so can cut bait if needed. It really all comes down to contracts and if it makes sense. Watt can be signed now, others will have to wait and could be signed by their own team anyway.

BillMafia716ix Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Bills should be on the phone with his agent ASAP. He’s versatile enough to play all across the line. Would def help guys like Oliver, Epenesa. If we can get a solid two years out Watt I think it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The Packers are 20M over the cap. They a lot of work to get to 180M, and would need at least 10M in cap space to sign Watt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like A Mofo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It all comes down to contract and term and JJ's health.

Star himself is an above average 1T. 1 tier below Kenny Clark/Vita Vea. His positive impact is far greater than his abilities. With him back, the Bills get TWO new players. Star at the 1T,....and a close to elite 3T in Ed Oliver. Remember that JErry Hughes finished 2nd in Pass rush win rate. Having Star back and Watt signed?

ndirish1978 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Give Watt the money that was due to Jefferson/Butler. He can play 3T or DE at an elite level and Jefferson/Butler stink. With Star coming back it doesn't even leave us in a position to need to pick someone else up as far as the numbers go. You can rotate Addison and AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
