Texans are releasing star JJ Watt, source said. Come to Green Bay on a one year "prove-it" deal and then smash free agency after your Super Bowl ring!

He has health issues that keep him off the field. Veteran min contract is fine by me.

This spot is reserved for future use

When he can stay healthy, he’s amazing! I wonder if he would come here, and he has anything left in the tank.
If I were the Packers, I’d make a realistic attempt to get him.

Wrong side of 30. Hurt too often. 60% of snaps, max. Can get it done when he's on the field.

You can't let his salary get too high (unless it's based on snap counts or game played), but Watt was the only Texans defensive player to play over 1,000 snaps last year and over 90% of the defensive snaps taken.

He has been injured a lot lately, but if we only want to rush four, Z. Smith, Watt, Clark and Gary would make one hell of a group and let us focus on drafting CBs.

Also, DT usually suck at rookies, so even if we draft a DT in the 1st round, let him learn for the first year.

Throw in Keke, and you have the ability to rotate guys in pass rush situations and give them breathers.

I think you have the right idea of it: it takes a while for a rookie dlineman to pay off, so grabbing Watt and letting another guy sit and learn isn't the worst idea (and if the rookie shows some flashes, then all the better).

Speaking of Watt and the Packers...

I guess he doesn't like the Steelers .

Rumor has it that it's Green Bay or Cleveland. Pittsburgh is mentioned but word is he already rejected them. His brother was trying to recruit.

If he wants to get paid, Cleveland is his best bet. If he wants to chase a ring, Green Bay.

I think the Steelers don't behave a lot of cap, and they already have their good starting DEs... and I think they ask them to play two gap, and keep the LBers clean more than Watt would prefer.

That's the new Jets head coach's mantra, all gas no breaks... but I can't see him signing with the Jets if he wanted to get to the playoffs for sure.

The head coach used to be 49ers defensive coach and I believe best friends with LaFleur, and maybe one of them was the best man at the other wedding?

But I think he was just saying training hard, but I could be wrong.

I haven't heard any official rumors of GB, other than they like 11 other teams are interested.

beast, are you suggesting a well grounded and reasonable explanation in contrast to my (and the Packers twitterdom) wild speculation and reading way too into something? 😉

Mitochondria has 12 letters and if you swap cell for GB, it means that Rodgers is the powerhouse of GB. Watt to the Packers confirmed!

He should just sign right now with the Bills. Then this is done and over with.

JJ Watt has received several offers from teams. The best offer he has received right now is between 15-16 million per year, per sources.

As Alfred E. Neuman used to say , “Watt, me worry?”😂

If it will take 15 million to sign Watt, he won’t be coming to Green Bay. That’s too much money to pay for a guy with the injury history and old age.
If they had lots of extra money, then maybe. But they don’t.

JJ Watt updated his Peleton profile. This is apparently "News".

The guy must be having a lot of fun watching people drool over his every word.
I wish he would sign SOMEWHERE and be done with it.
It’s getting old.

My guess is that he's probably like everyone else, jist waiting for other people too...

The NFL STILL has not finalized a 2021 cap number and the head of the committee has said he probably won't until hours before FA.

Teams offers could go up, based on that number. Would you take $5 now, knowing the offers will only go up, and might get $15 if you wait?

They said his best offer was $15 million, my guess is that he rather not sign with that team, otherwise it'd probably be done already.

He's probably hoping some of the other offers improve.

You are probably right.
If his most important thing is the money amount, then GB is out of it already in my opinion.
With his age and injury history, I’m torn as to whether or not he’d be a smart investment anyway.
If he’s “over the hill” as a player, then the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Cheesey (10-Apr) : “Hip hop”...sounds like something rabbits do!😂

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : I really didn't know he was as popular as it seems. I figured he was just a dude I watched in few movies.

beast (10-Apr) : DMX technically is a rapper, but I would consider him more hardcore hip-hop (or some label him East Coast Hip-hop), and less a rapper.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : @Gil_Brandt Happy 85th birthday, John Madden. Most people think of John as a coach and Madden game-maker but he was quite an athlete, too.

Cheesey (10-Apr) : Some rapper. I never heard of him either. They said drugs caused his death.

packerfanoutwest (10-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Earl Simmons aka DMX, 50. 1970-2021.

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : i briefly got excited at the idea of GB signing Bernard and then I remembered he was in the same draft class as Eddie Lacy and Le'veon Bell

Zero2Cool (7-Apr) : Bengals announced they released HB Giovani Bernard.

Zero2Cool (6-Apr) : Aaron Rodgers opening admits he does NOT like ESPN and does NOT like NFL Network. I love it!

Zero2Cool (6-Apr) : "I still love playing. I don't want to give that up. I want to keep playing. I still have the passion and the fire. I feel I can do this for a number of years."

TheKanataThrilla (5-Apr) : I think Aaron is doing a good job. May need to loosen up a bit, but for a first episode impressed.

Zero2Cool (5-Apr) : Sources: The #Panthers have traded for #Jets QB Sam Darnold.

Mucky Tundra (3-Apr) : Exactly, he''s the #4 Safety and he's a good ST player. If someone comes along who's better then they'll cut him

Zero2Cool (3-Apr) : I'm good with the signing. It's not like we inked him for $10 million for the season. It's a roster spot and could be improved via draft.

Mucky Tundra (3-Apr) : i'm not sure what the hand wringing over Redmond is about; he's basically Jarrett Bush 2.0

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : LET'S GO!!

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Hell yeah! You gotta fill out the roster, ya know that right? I mean, it's not just starters that play. COME ON MAN

beast (29-Mar) : Any idea why the official account was suspended? Lol

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Ravens verified Twitter account is suspended lol

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Packers free-agent returner Tyler Ervin visiting with Bills

Mucky Tundra (27-Mar) : There's a saying in MLB baseball: want a starting pitcher? draft 10 and send them to the minors.

Cheesey (26-Mar) : You are right about the home run kanata! That’s a lot to give up.

TheKanataThrilla (26-Mar) : I think Jordan can run Matt's system. His year before his draft year has incredible film.

wpr (26-Mar) : Jordan Love is a sure thing. :)

TheKanataThrilla (26-Mar) : I agree Cheesey, but to give up so many first rounders you better hit a homerun.

Cheesey (26-Mar) : Yeah, but look how many first round picks end up as busts. None are a sure thing.

Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : @fantasysportsso Report: Seahawks cutting Jarran Reed after no trade develops
