NewEra Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) 25 minutes ago, billsfan89 said: Not sure if JJ fits, the Bills need to get younger and more dynamic at DE. Unless they plan on releasing Addison and still brining in a younger DE. But I wouldn't hate JJ, I just think there are better directions to go. We don’t have to get younger. We are going to be signing 2-4 players every year that are one year rentals. It doesn’t matter which position and how old those players are. They just have to be able to help us win a super bowl. When the window is open and ours may never be more open that right now, the only thing a team has to do is bet better, hopefully enough to win the super bowl. We can get younger pass rushers next year, or in 2-3 years. As long as we sign pass rushers that can get the job done.

Dick_Cheney Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Watt signing with the Bills would arguably put us in the top 3 SB contenders. Maybe he's lost a step, but think of the intangibles. It's basically like getting another coach. Arguably more effective. McD is serious business, but Watt is on another level. He wants that ring. He won't accept people ****ing off. It's like when Spinal Tap turned things up to 11. I don't think he'll sign with us but holy smokes would I like to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Bill Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I took a look at the Chiefs forum on JJ Watt. It looks just like this one, including the photoshopped picture of him in a Chiefs jersey, the claims he's past his prime, the claims he'd make the D better, that it would be good to get him if the price was right (due to cap issues), and that if he's chasing a ring this would be a great place to land. Swap "Bills" for "Chiefs" and it all reads the same 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's not a 1st ballot hall of famer in his prime anymore. He is still a very good player who commands attention from the offense and he upgrades a position of weakness.

GymShorts84 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Agreed. He’s a process guy to a T. Big time players make big time plays in big time games. He still does that.

Victory Formation Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Please, please, please. I know he’s struggled with injuries and his production dipped but one guy I’d never rule out is JJ Watt.

Estro Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Cut Vernon Butler ($6.8M saved) Cut Quinton Jefferson ($6.5M saved) Cut Lee Smith (2.25M saved) Cut John Brown ($8M saved) Pay Cut Mario Addison (save $2M) Pay Cut Matakevich (save $1.25M) Extend Diggs 2 yrs. (save $7M in '21) Convert Morse salary to bonus (save $3M) Total savings of nearly $30M With that savings: 1. Franchise Milano for $15M and look to trade him for a 3rd and 5th. I'd love to keep him, I'd hate to lose him for nothing, I think given the reduction in cap this might be the smartest compromise. 2. Re-sign Feliciano ($3M cap hit) 3. Re-sign D Williams ($7M cap hit) 4. Sign J.J Watt ($9.5M cap hit) 5. Sign Curtis Samuel ($6.5M cap hit) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sorry skipped a bunch of pages https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30886997/houston-texans-part-ways-jj-watt-asks-release Quote League sources told ESPN's Ed Werder that approximately a dozen teams initially had shown interest in Watt since his release, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans. Sources said Watt's priority in determining his next team will be his belief that he can play in a Super Bowl with that team based on its supporting cast; he has never reached a conference championship game.
