Attison just got 10 million last year, 15.5 for a future HOF isn’t unreasonable 

 

2 year, 31 million 

or 

3 year, 46 million

 

Name is Addison and this year the salary cap went DOWN by 30 million. Players are not going to be making market value signings.

riddle me this.. IF he is so good how come a team does not have him locked?

 

Is it 

 

A. Cause he is asking for to much?

B. He just aint that good no more?

C. Injury History?

 

I say All of the above. The thing is he is not in a hurry, he has time.

 

His age and him Injured to much is not going to get him far fast. He wants the money, Live cheap and retire on his last contract. Just like every other star vet his age. I cant blame him for any of this but is he going to give this team 1000%?

 

A question worth discussion

 

Maybe it's more of a Watt thing? He wants to take his time? Multiple reports have said that a dozen teams are interested

why should he be in a rush to sign anywhere when there are supposedly multiple contending teams interested in him?

 

Keep playing one team off against the other and bumping up the price... Although I think he probably should get the deal done within the next week or he might risk some of the teams moving onto other targets...

 

In relation to your second question.. he will give his all but his new team isnt getting the player he was 5 years ago ( obviously..).. Personally, Ive cooled on him during the past couple of weeks and think the Bills should move in a different ( ie younger and healthier) direction...

We were one win from the Super Bowl.... JJ Watt would've put the necessary pressure on Mahomes to make him look like SB Mahomes. Also would've made Brady pay on route to our Lombardi

Yeah I’m not too concerned about the regular season, I’m pretty sure this team is making the playoffs with or without him. Definitely need more impact players in the big games though. If Beane is sure he will step up big time in the post-season, go get him.

It is when someone like watt can’t stay healthy and hasn’t played a full season in 3 years

https://www.buffalorumblings.com/platform/amp/2021/2/25/22301170/j-j-watt-reportedly-has-an-offer-for-15-million-per-season-per-report I wonder if this was us. I’d think it would be stupid to pay him this kind of money especially when he hasn’t been able to stay healthy for 3-4 years

15 mil is too much but we need pass rush. He won't be playing like 90%of the snaps like Houston so he will be able to stay healthy.

Of the teams reportedly interested, only Cleveland has that kind of cash. He will get to play his brothers twice a year. I don't consider them a legit Super Bowl contender but others might.

 

Beane has not been one to get into bidding wars. I think Bills should focus on cheaper option like 1 year prove it deal for Clowney

You can structure a contract to pay $15 million cash in year 1 but have a cap hit much much lower.

If you’re going to post about not wanting Watt because he’s been hurt... that’s totally cool. Perfectly valid POV. 
 

But holy moly... at least do a little research and get things right. I’ve seen 6-7 different people today alone say he hasn’t played a full season in 3 years. 
 

He legitimately played a full season last year and 2/3 seasons dating back to 2018. Missed 8 games in 2019 but came back from the injury to play 2 playoff games. 
 

The misinformation is unbelievable.

2 years removed from 16 sacks. People don’t want knowledge they want opinions, specifically their own.

If someone is offering $15 million to $16 million, I'm out of the running if I'm the Bills.

 

This is why I was opposed to the idea in the first place.  Too much $$$ at this point in his career.

 

 

Weird considering many on the board last year were ready to spend that on Clowney...

But the question is does he still want the 90 percent or is he ok with being in a rotation? I would like to see him here but for him it might come down to pride and what he wants. 15 million a per year says he still wants the 90 % of snaps. And honestly he can’t do that anymore, he can’t stay healthy. And 15 million for a rotation player is way too much, better off drafting someone who’s young and healthy

If he goes to Cleveland for more money, then he was lying about wanting to play for a contender.

 

I don't really understand how anyone views them as contenders next year.  They lucked out from playing the Bengals twice, the Steelers backups (and still almost lost), the Jags (and almost lost), and the entire NFC East.

 

I guess they're contenders now because they beat the Titans and the Colts last year?  Is that it?

 

Anyway... let Watt go to Cleveland for more money if he wants.  If he wants to play for a ring... I'm sure he has Beane's and McDermott's number by now.

I don’t care where he goes as long as it isn’t the chiefs

Because we had cap room but decided to blow it on a bunch of sub par interior linemen and not cut a 10M DE who was a healthy scratch for half the season.  This year we don’t have much cap to work with and the overall cap is less this year.

For me, as long as it isn't in the AFC East to our rivals. Not Miami, not NE, not the Jests! 

 

I wouldn't worry about the Chiefs as they are currently -18mill in the hole. Sammy anyone?

 

 

OTOH, Von Miller, Matt Judon, Shaquil Barrett, Melvin Ingram, Bud Dupre, Lavonte David...

He played in every game 2 out of the last 3 years.  
 

You have a strange definition of can’t staying healthy.  
 

Cmon man.  Posting lies isn’t sexy

It’s been 2 weeks today since he was released. I’m now saying ***** JJ Watt. Really shouldn’t take this long. Let’s go get Von Miller. He’s got some baggage but he’s not a diva like apparently JJ is...

I assume teams are going to wait until his criminal investigation plays out before signing Von

Word on the street is that Watt is torn between the message you sent to him to come join the Bills versus a separate message from a Cleveland Browns fan 🙂

That's easy.  He's lifting weights in a red room.  Bills fans have had to 'wait' for a Super Bowl appearence since the days of the 'red' helmets!  It's all there, plain as day! 😁

Well, Red King, I am sure this an entirely objective analysis . . .
