So random. If he was going to go to a bad team he could have just stayed with the Texans and made more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The Cards are better than the Texans, but you need a pretty expansive list of "contenders" if they qualify. They were 8-8 last year, and seem to be on the upswing with some young talent, but still. Hard to believe that was a more appealing offer than say, the Packers or Bills.

Rhom Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 If the Niners are healthy next year, that's the fourth best team in the division. I don't know what the other offers were, but reports are that he's getting $23m guaranteed on a $31m deal. So I guess that's good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he went to the team that gave him the most guaranteed money, because it's really hard to argue that the Browns and Bills weren't better situations as teams that won playoff games. The Packers would obviously be a great situation too but they have no cap space and probably would have had to make some moves to clear up the money to sign Watt.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Very strange signing. I don't think Watt has much left in the tank though, so if he went for the money, I can't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers would obviously be a great situation too but they have no cap space and probably would have had to make some moves to clear up the money to sign Watt. I've no doubt that money was a factor, but it is really hard to believe at this stage in his career that he values an extra $5 million guaranteed over going to a true contender. He's already earned just over $100 million in NFL salary (not counting substantial endorsement money). $5 million is nothing to scoff at, but I'd think at this point a ring would matter a helluva lot more. Hell, just the additional endorsement money from being a super bowl champ might be worth $5 million over the rest of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It is hard to know how much Watt has left. He's had a lot of injuries over the career, but elite pass rushers in their early 30s often have one or two more great years left. Just look at the impact that JPP had on the Bucs this year. He's not as good as Watt, had just as many injuries, and is a year older, but still he was a monster this postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a wet fart of a decision. Have fun being the seven seed and getting waxed by Matty Staves and the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder what the Bills and Browns actually offered him, because as mentioned it's hard to imagine passing up those situations to sign with fucking Kliff Kingsbury? Maybe Nuk talked him into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know, but I would think that between the Bills, Bucs, Browns and Packers at least one of those teams would have offered him $18 million guaranteed over two years (5 million less than the Cards offer).

Jace, Extat Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I figured the Colts would be after him. But for that money you can have Von Miller I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly, they were. Not sure if I believe that, as it just doesn't appear to make any logical sense unless Hopkins was a huge influence on Watt.
