Augie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Wherever he goes, I bet Watson wants to join him!!! Anywhere but Houston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 His production has dipped significantly in the past two seasons. IMO, it would be like when the Bills brought in Shawne Merriman. I’d have to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 1 hour ago, I am the egg man said: The pout your way off a team isn't anything new. It's definitely becoming more in vogue in the NFL. With that and tight salary caps, players will be flip flopping team to team NBA style real soon. Hard to compare pouting your way off a team to respectfully asking to be released and being granted it. The roster is devoid of talent, and didnt have to be... he wants a ring, does anyone blame him? Helped the Texans shed $ they couldnt afford in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Green Bay makes sense but they have some issues of their own. They are worse off cap wise and Rodgers doesn’t seem very happy there. The hometown angle is an X factor, but Bills make more sense if like Gronk that’s not important to him.

Sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but doesn't Green Bay have a new defensive coordinator, and one who wasn't particularly inspiring? A new system with someone less than ideal might be a detractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I would think his list only includes team that have a chance to win it all. KC, TB, BUF, GB, BAL, LAR are the most popular choices. BAL and TB have space already. BUF would need to create it it. KC, LAR and GB are all $20M + over the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 20 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: He's going to the Packers. He grew up there, it was his favorite team growing up, he played at Wisconsin, he has expressed a desire to stay in the Midwest, and they have the best chance to get to the super bowl next to Tampa This makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, Joe Barry's prior record as defensive coordinator is not too inspiring. Could be "third time's the charm" https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/02/06/report-packers-plan-to-hire-joe-barry-as-defensive-coordinator/ And of course, as pointed out, GB is cap-strapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The idea that anyone was going to trade a pick and pay JJ $17m this year in this climate is ridiculous. The Texans cut him because they weren’t going to be able to trade him. Nothing to do with them doing him right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) He is smart and highly self promotional. He will go to a team that had a bad 2020 record but which could improve based on roster strength/cap room/draft capital. When their record is better in 2021 he can take the credit. The top candidates I see are: Jax SF Chargers maybes: Atlanta Giants Cowboys possible: Mia Ariz Jets Pitt Edited February 12, 2021 by 4merper4mer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jests end up getting Watson, they may end up getting Watt as well. That would be crazy with Watt and Mosely and getting a top 5 QB Why would they get Wat$son and a top 5 QB?

stuvian Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 A house cleaning is imminent. There's no way Watson stays. This Easterby whack job is turning this team into a cult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Returntoglory Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 He's ripe to sign with Buffalo. It is the perfect fit. Young and upcoming with a very large playoff window. And then there is the need for a player with JJ's skill set. Lack of a pass rush killed us against KC. But as others have asked, is there anything left in the tank?

Watt played in 16/16 games this past season, 8 games then returned hella early and played 2 playoff games last season. Last season, he was clearly a contributor on a crap defense. Merriman had only played in 3 games the season before the Bills signed him, was a non contributor on a top D, and was clearly hobbled from Day 1 in Buffalo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry may be a great guy and I had high hopes for him after the start he had in 2019, but he’s not getting 95. Not now, not ever. 95 should be retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
