JJ Watt signs with AZ

[Dan H]

I'm pleased.

Watt is still graded as a top interior player at his position. And I'll let @kerouac9 talk about the FBO stats (because I don't have them).

My issues are health and cap flexibility.

I assume that Chandler is being extended and restructured now.
I also assume that Fitz is back cheaper.
I also assume that Reddick will be tagged or signed long term.

With Kyler's contract, 2 years is perfect. And a 10-16mm split makes sense to me personally.

What we can also assume is that we will be very young on the back end of the defense. CB is now a top draft priority and the offense will be what it already is.

A fierce pass rush makes up for a young back end. We just MUST get to the passer. A LOT

And, hey, we've got a DC who is a very good CB coach ...

As long as they still sign Linsley from the Packers I'm ok with it.

Its a Keim move for sure though. Outside of Farley I'm going offense in the draft.

Agree, draft has lots of good OLs and WRs this year, build up the protection for Kyler.

lol

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man, I hope I’m wrong about this move.

 

[SoonerLou]

Only one thing left to do...

I like your thinking.

You must be registered for see images attach

Get Will Fuller

 

[Dayman]

It feels like a real hail mary from Keim, but I guess it could work.

No doubt what side of the fence you and I are on ......

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

If we can keep Reddick we could have an insane pass rush.

 

[Hoodhero]

Keim is definitely master of keeping this forum on its toes in off-season lol

 

[SoonerLou]

Yep. Especially playing 17 games now.

I like the splash move Keim, but please fix the interior of the Oline

This sums it up

3/4 defensive end, Zach Allen who showed something last season Jason Phillips on the other side , then fotu Lawrence and a cheap veteran signing like Peko, Blackson

Jordan

 

[Heucrazy]

WTF? 2 years for 31 million?!

this is a terrible Emmitt Smith contract. Adios Reddick and most of our cap space.

I’ll go on record and say this is a bad move. Hope to eat ALL the crow on it.

I am also not a fan. I don’t like throwing a ton of money at a guy who is constantly injured.

Why would you tag Reddick when there's no chance of him starting? Reddick is gonzo.

Keim is going all in this season. Alllll in.

its par for the course with this franchise.

 

[DVontel]

Keep Reddick & let Golden go

 

[unseenaz]

I hope so, I just can't really picture it with our cap situation

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Uh, okay. Hope he’s got something left in the tank and stays healthy. Tremendous gamble. And of course it’s a “win now” gamble by keim . . . future be damned. He’s gotta save his own hide.

I’m not sure how I feel about this signing yet...

 

[TheCardFan]

Turn down for Watt?!

I actually like the risk/reward. Could make a massive impact on this defense or he could stay injury prone. I am sure he is motivated.

 

[Praxis]

Gotta swing for the fences while K1 is on his rookie deal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Only one thing left to do...

It wouldn't shock me at this point.

[HairZach]

Its a gamble for sure. But if JJ stays healthy then its more than worth it.
