BillsDude Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 17 minutes ago, The Red King said: 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, if you expand the picture, it's really more a red, blue and white bannered room on the walls/windows, so Buffalo colors. When he said it's not perfect yet, he meant they needed to change the darker blue to royal blue. And when he tweeted, "That’s why we work. If there was no progress to be made, there’d be no point in working" that seems like a typical McDermott quote, whom JJ Watt likely studied.. Add that to his nearly fainting, clearly Watt was also saying he was looking forward to the more perfect training facility where he could yes, have hyperbaric chambers, like a recent post said.

Have to believe there's no way the Bills can afford that or would pay that. Good rule of thumb with this Watt stuff is if *anyone* says *anything* about him - it's probably been posted in here immediately 😝 But to the crux of the report, I'll say this: if JJ Watt really was getting 15-16 million offers from a contending team he's interested in signing with - he'd have signed already. I don't doubt there are teams who aren't in contention yet have a lot of cap space that are throwing out crazy numbers trying to get him to sign with them instead. And I don't doubt he'd like the teams he's really interested in to match those crazy offers. And that's why that report exists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 John Clayton said Watt narrowed his choice to 3 teams- the Bills, Titans, and Pack. I like our chances.

HOUSE Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Bill Z. asks: How much is too much for J.J. Watt? Jay: As mentioned above, if Watt does have offers north of $15 million per season, I’m out if I’m running the Bills. There is a legitimate question to be asked about how much he has left at 32 (next month) and with a lengthy injury history. Watt finished with just five sacks last season in playing all 16 games, so it’s fair to wonder if he’s lost a step. As with all pass rushers, though, raw sacks alone can’t be the only evaluation tool. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Watt ranked 15th out of 119 qualified pass rushers in pass-rush win rate in 2020. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year has 101 career sacks. He knows how to get to the quarterback, which the Bills have put a priority on this offseason when it comes to a four-man pass rush. For that reason, Watt is a good fit … but it goes both ways. The Bills are an attractive option for any free agent. They have a Super Bowl-caliber roster. Yes, it’s a small market, but for the right type of player, that’s a selling point, not a deterrent. Watt should want to come to the Bills just as much as they want him. For that reason, Beane shouldn’t break the bank. The Bills’ general manager needs to preserve as much cap space as possible. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/bills-mailbag-what-are-the-chances-of-landing-j-j-watt/article_a840c308-787c-11eb-b438-ff9d5e5b33b1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 My guess is he signs somewhere around March 8, maybe the 10th. This will maximize the time for publicity before general FA starts.

Shaw66 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have to admit I'm getting lukewarm about Watt. I used to be excited about him coming to Buffalo, but if Buffalo isn't his clear choice, and it seems it isn't, then I'm less interested. Beane is, so far as I can tell, very clear about how much he's willing to play. Beane doesn't spend a lot of time negotiating the money. If Buffalo were Watt's #1 choice, then he would either have taken Beane's best offer or crossed Buffalo off the list. So, I think Watt is trying to figure what's the team he likes best. If Buffalo isn't his clear choice by now, if he's having that much trouble trying to figure out he wants to go to the prom with us, then I'm just not all that excited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel like we can get two real contributors for that money and the concern about Watt producing at a high level is very real. Unless they truly believe the leadership/motivation intangibles are what this team really needs. Idk, I have my reservations but I guess I do trust Beane to do the right thing. Im not overly concerned that he hasn’t chosen us by now. There’s a lot to consider and Green Bay isn’t chopped liver. Also, I don’t know how exciting our D line would appear to play on. Many players never get this kind of free agency experience, and he’s basically alone in it right now. I don’t begrudge him the opportunity to soak in as much as he can.

The 15-16M offers could be the reason that this is taking longer. If Beane is offering up 10-12 mill, maybe he’s trying to get that number up a little bit. There’s no reason for him to sign this contract. I don’t see why any fans would be “less interested” in him because he hasn’t chosen us yet. It’s pretty weak imo. It’s not as if he’s deciding between the Bills and 2 teams that he has no ties to. The Bills are in the mix with his home town team.....and his old coach.

I think Bills should focus on cheaper option like 1 year prove it deal for Clowney Yes but John Clayton says Cleveland is out of the running and they are not a finalist for consideration!

Supposedly the NFL is waiting until their new TV contracts are negotiated and signed before finalizing the salary cap. Disney was the first domino to fall so hopefully we're close to finding out for sure. But even if we don't sign Watt we know that Beane is making pass rusher a priority in free agency this year.

I cannot see GBay changing to a 4-3 line, and this alignment would help his skills the most. I feel he wants to play his best, and get the most out of his body these last few years for all of his training and healthy eating efforts. Of course stats mean alot to competitors and players who are used to that attention. What player would not want to regain that personal glory, for one or two more years, if possible? Yes, a Super Bowls can bring glory, but Buff and GBay seem similar at chances there. He loves GBay, as its home to him, but they have other more important needs I think, and less to spend perhaps with their other priorities. It's not a perfect fit for them. That's why you see stories of that. Buff desperately needs a pass rusher and run stuffer, and leader there. He could be seen as the hero here. ..As for Las Vegas, not sure why he'd want to play for an average team, and with lots of holes, pressure there, and questions. Maybe they are the team who offered the most, not sure...As for my preference, I do not care either way. See pros of JJ, but pros of using that money on a younger guy on the rise with almost just as much talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no difference if he signs now or he signs one day before free agency. For teams like us and the Packers and the Titans a $2 million difference is meaningful. Unless I've missed something I haven't seen any team re-sign a player or pick up a 5th year option yet. The only moves I've seen so far are teams releasing players. That tells me teams are being extra cautious right now and no new player contracts will be inked until the NFL finalizes the cap number. Once that happens I bet Watt is signed somewhere within a couple days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
