Texans Release JJ Watt

[EDGECRUSHER]

COME TO MIAMI, BABY!

He is probably tired of losing and even with Watson, this is a 5-6 win team. Much less if they trade him so he wants out and it is best for both parties. This team really should've had a fire sale last year, Watt could've been traded for a 2nd or 3rd rounder last year but now he walks for nothing.

I think he'd be looking at winning over money but it could still be a pretty large price tag.

We've got both, but I wouldn't want to overpay for him

I think he'd be looking at winning over money but it could still be a pretty large price tag.

He can play with both of his brothers for the Steelers. They are a good team although Maurkice Pouncey just retired and Ben is noticeably older now. I would think we have a better shot at the division or Superbowl than Pittsburgh in 2021. Plus, they have no cap space.

I too think he will take a winning team over money, but for argument's sake, he would probably go to the Raiders for $16 Million over Miami for $9 Million. I can see him taking a discount to be with his brothers or a contender, but not 50% less.

Pittsburgh seems to be the early favorites but we will see

No way he goes to Pittsburgh, they have the 4th WORST cap situation in the league.  They're $30,601,664 over the cap.

If winning is all he cares about than Dolphins aren’t his first choice even among Florida teams.

I don't think it will be all he cares about but it will be his top priority as long as a dumb team doesn't step in with a $20 Million offer. Besides, Bucs got a lot of talent to resign and even with Brady discounts, they may not have much to offer. He will definitely have a lot of good landing spots to choose from, but I do feel we are one of the favorites not just for our potential to contend but because once you don't pay income tax in a state, you don't want to start.

Dolphins can offer JJ more money than the Bucs.  Bucs offer him a better chance at a ring.  All depends on what he wants more.  He has made over $100 million and never been to the big show, he might be willing to play for vet min.

Very true, I have no idea what he wants or is willing to take, but I do feel that we are strongly in the running and that's good enough for now.

I can certainly respect players taking less money for a chance at a ring, but I also don't like it when they form "super teams" when lots of players do it. That's what ruined the NBA for me but that's a side rant and I'm sure a messageboard filled with Heat fans doesn't want to hear what an angry Knicks fan has to say about super teams.

I am not a heats fan, but I have more respect for players who build their own team to win like the heat than I do the Yankees method of overspending everyone else.

Rumor is JuJu Smith-Schuster wants to play in Tampa. It's already a Madden team and that could actually get more exaggerated.

JuJu will go to the Toronto Argonauts if they pay him the most. The kid hasn't been paid yet and considering his ego, I don't see him taking any sort of discount to go to a winner.

If the Bucs re-sign Barrett, there isn't a spot for JJ.

If the Bucs re-sign Barrett, there isn't a spot for JJ.  

Barrett says he wants to "break the bank" so I don't think he resigns. Good for him, NFL careers are usually short and mess up your body for the rest of your life. I hope they all get paid.
