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.

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.

So much garbage gets tossed around and eventually becomes a narrative. When JJ Watt says in April that he only received one offer, no one will backtrack, no one will remember this nonsense.

GET OFF MY LAWN.

Finally, it's over. JJ Watt is signing with the Cardinals. Cardinals sign J.J. Watt to a 2-year, $31M deal. There's that $15-$16 offer!

Well.....looks like getting a ring took a back seat to the size of his bank account.
I really don’t think it’s a big deal. I think he’s WAAAAY past his prime anyway.
When it was first announced that he was freed up, I got excited about it. Then I “woke up” and realized it was for an aging no longer great Watt.
That’s when I backed off the idea of signing him for a younger less costly guy (or guys, at that cost).
It will be interesting to see if he was worth that much money or not.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (9h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (17h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (17h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (17h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (18h) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
