I agree to some extent. Lots of mileage on Watt. Really want to keep first two picks next draft. Maybe a 3rd in 2021 and 2022.

I’d throw up if we traded for a Watt.

Say whatever you want about SK, but he has mastered the art of the trade. I doubt he does this.

 

[GatorAZ]

Damn this is like the Suns trading for Shaq.

As much as I agree , I want to go for it. If we as a whole don’t think keim can draft but is a wizard at trades then why not take advantage of the latter. In a weird season with a 2-3 year window with an inexpensive QB then let’s go for it.

The cap doesn’t allow you to fill your team with great players . You need to draft the right guys to keep your payroll in line.

nope you really just need to hit on a QB and it looks like we did that

 

[Buckybird]

Pass.

Except that QB is going to be very expensive in a couple years. So if we want to compete for SBs we need to draft very well and do a good job of managing how others get paid to maximize talent.

If we were talking TJ Watt I'd be in but not for a 31 year old injury prone JJ.

 

[oaken1]

Love me some jj watt

but no

spend the draft picks on quinnen Williams.... the extra attention he draws will make Golden and Reddick better

 

[juza76]

Do they have the cap to trade for a player like watt?

 

[BritCard]

Worth factoring in that JJ has no guaranteed money after this year so it's a relatively easy restructure next year.

On saying that, he's a player you would go for if you think you are contenders rights now and I'm not sure we are there yet. Could be if we keep improving but not right now.

 

[WisconsinCard]

This is a first. I agree with gambo. It doesn't make sense. The money the compensation, doesn't add up. You're most likely giving up a second round pick for a 9+ game rental. Unless a restructured contract is part of the deal.

 

[AirRaid]

This would be horrible. We're not a JJ Watt away from contending for a Superbowl. You only make a short-sighted move like this if you're a team like Tampa/Tennessee/New Orleans etc. that need to hit that level of Kansas City/Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

 

[Cheesebeef]

No freaking way. Watt is washed at this point due to multiple back surgeries. This is Emmitt Smith part deux but worse if we have to give up draft picks.

hard pass.

I have to agree with all of this. We're not one player away from the Superbowl IMO.

even if we were, Watt ain’t that guy anymore.

 

[Syracusecards]

No thanks. Grady Jarrett for a 3rd if possible.

Atlanta laughs in Keim’s face.

I don’t know, rumor has it they’re shopping Julio and Matt Ryan. Sounds like they’re having a fire sale

Atlanta is not giving up one of the best DLineman in the game for a 3rd though. That’s not Bill O’Brien on the other side.

I’d give up a late first. No problem.

It’s going to take a 1 to get him and you know what, I think I’d do that. He’s a top 5 DLman on a really good contract and he’s 27

He's not 27, he's 31. That is an 'old' 31 based on those season-ending injuries. DL is banging hard every play and the toll is higher on a player along the line than the same injury hampering someone playing off the line. He is another season-ending injury just waiting to happen.

"Watt heads into his age-31 season having played just 32 of a possible 64 games over the past 4 years. "

I'd give a low-round pick (2022) and cash coming back from the Texans before adding him to our roster.
