NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"CF - yeah, I had a feeling he might go to the Cards once some of the other offers came in on the 'lower' (for his expectations) side of things. He was a beast of a player, but he has played around half of NFL games in the past five seasons and, some say, he might be one more injury away from calling it a day. Reckon he's balancing his pre-retirement cash with the desire to win. Don't blame him - it's an unforgiving sport and he has had more than his fair share of injuries due to his intensity. Superb player when he's fully fit and raging."

JJ Watt to the Cardinals then. Seems like he went middle of the road on money and calibre of team. Seems like he had bigger offers for lesser teams and bigger teams with smaller offers so chose quite well in the end.

"Found a decent UK based podcast called '4th and Out', which for a simplton NFL fan like me made good listening."

"hermit, it can be sorted as shown at our place but wiseman needs to go and that's unlikely as he seems to have similar influence to what bruce allen had in washington"

[Hermit Road]

"I agree. They have totally fucked up this whole situation. Handed him a huge contract, drafted a QB in the 2nd round a couple of months after, were left with no weapons and no O Line, shock horror, Wentz has a bad season and they trade him away whilst swallowing over $30 million in dead cap!"

[Takashi Miike]

I don't listen to the 'bad leader' shit. the biggest problem in philadelphia are the numbskulls in their front office. little will improve until that changes

[Hermit Road]

"Wentz has got a cannon of an arm and with the right set up, could do very well. This signing also puts to bed some of the rumours about how he is a negative influence in the locker room. The Colts' HC and Press Taylor know Wentz as well as anyone, if he is that bad a leader then they wouldn't have wanted anything to do with him. I think the Eagles got bent over and rammed pretty hard with this deal. It was clear they were holding out for more and Wentz forced their arm. They should have held tight. They have let him go for nothing and still are into him for £30 million of dead cap. It's a terrible deal"

[Takashi Miike]

"I'm not a fan of wentz. he's far too reckless, and turns the ball over far too much but at least he'll be playing now for a coach who believes in the run game so he may get his confidence back"

[crystal falace]

22 QBs taken in the first round from 2009-16 and not one of them is still with the team who drafted them.

[crystal falace]

Eagles trading Wentz to the Colts for a third and conditional 2nd round pick. May be the missing piece the colts need?

[Takashi Miike]

looks like Watt fancies a few years in Cleveland :.)

[El Scorchio]

"That's shit. Sounds like unfortunately it could be a suicide, which would be incredibly sad."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Sad news - he was a fine wideout. Sounds like his family reported him missing, the police located him at the hotel and then found him dead a few days later."

Former pro bowl WR vincent jackson has been found dead at his home ge 38. Police are currently investigating foul play

It's mental how far over the Saints are

[RBshorty]

Cheers Joe.

[Joe C]

Rams will struggle too https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/

[RBshorty]

Bills would be a good fit. However it's still the AFC. Maybe the Rams or the Packers.?

[Joe C]

Steamers? Cheers phone... Steelers

[Joe C]

zebthecat 11:19 Fri Feb 12 Streamers have salary cap issues - wouldn't be able to do it without moving a fair few out

[Takashi Miike]

"it depends if he puts money in front of winning, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in tampa on a team friendly deal, and especially with suh, barrett & david potentially moving on"

[RBshorty]

Wouldn't be surprised if Watt ends up at a contender in the NFC. Like Brady.?

[zebthecat]

He could always join his brothers at the Steelers.

"Actually, just looked up his stats for last season. They were solid (without being up to his previous spectacular standard) and he played a part in every Texans game. So his injuries held up. If he's still motivated, then he'll be worth a punt for a side seeking some experience."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Up until 2016, that guy was a beast. His sack rate was unbelievable. Then he got injured and was never quite the same, although he did an excellent season in 2018 when he stayed fully fit. But in three of the past five seasons, he's been injured more often than he's been fit. He played most (if not all) Texans games last season, but his performances have tailed off a bit since his injuries. Still only 31 years-old and probably worth a punt for a decent side, providing he doesn't ask the Earth. But if you're looking to build your franchise, then I'm not sure he's a long or even mid-term solution. He could go to a good side which already has a decent defense, to shore up one side of the line. In his prime, he was superb."
