Texans are releasing JJ Watt

[OldJarhead]

NO!

Agreed

 

[Bullflop]

JJ Watt has been used to being paid far more than the Cowboys FO might be willing to consider. They are also in the unenviable position of wanting to retain Dak, knowing that if they're going to do so, it may cost more than they're willing to accept, without a fight. Our FO is in denial of the truth.

Jerry and Stephen are, unfortunately, living in the past, believing that they're still a team that all players covet. Nowadays, that's just a fallacy that they're unwilling to accept as wishful thinking. The Cowboys have been a mediocre team far too long to justify such an over-inflated self image.

I can't imagine him coming here with no chance of getting a ring, or even making the playoffs. We have too many holes to fill.

 

[JoeKing]

He wants to go to a team that has a bright future... that's not the Cowboys.

[George]

This team doesn’t know how to evaluate talent or potential. We’ll be average again soon!

RDE - Gregory
3 tech - Watt
1 tech - ? (dalvin thompson ?)
LDE - DLaw

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Wooooaaaaahhhhh!!!!!! I thought they might trade him! Hey, since he's a FA, unless why don't we try to sign him?

No.

 

[HanD]

Talk about overrated.

This is probably going to shock you but DE whether they play in a 3-4 or 4-3 are expected to get sacks. Now if he was getting big sack numbers as a 3-4 DE earlier in his career but he's not now must mean that he's no longer as good as he once was which is EXACTLY what I said.

For me really depends on the price but I don't see it happening. I'd rather get tomlinson over watt but jj is still a good player.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Good for JJ. He is better off.

on that note. I think he is washed. Maybe he has another season left at a decent level.

I also don’t think he fits the cowboys need. If they’re going after DL in FA. It should be a quality defensive tackle or two.

Could he play DT for a year?

 

[ghst187]

So you’re saying had we drafted TJ instead of Taco we would now be in line to have two Watts. Cool.

really rubbing salt in that wound aren’t you?

SI is reporting today that one team is willing to offer J. J. a contract worth $15-$16M per year. No word on who that team is.

Wonder if it's a contender?

My thinking is that it's either the Browns or Titans. I'm leaning towards the Browns as the team because JJ was showing a lot of interest in them, and he would solidify their already lethal defence.

2 years/28... incentives up to 30 or 31 million...

I would have paid him 10-12 to bring him in to New England... 14 is a bit much considering his age/injury history... good vet presence though
