J.J. Watt signing with Cardinals

Underwhelming

 

[Love The Drake]

Wow didn’t see this one coming him and Jones.
Jimmy would be injured that game for sure.
Thankful it’s not Buff

Chose the money over winning.

That's a LOT of money for a guy who may only be able to play 50% of your season snaps between injuries and maintenance. But if he works, that's now an elite pass rushing line.

Cards could be a playoff team next year.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

that eats up all of their cap space, I would not feel comfortable in my job security if I was Robert Alford....


His contract screams CUT ME!!!

Way too much cash for a fragile player at his age.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Too expensive but also glad he passed on Buffalo.

100%. I would have taken him here, but not for anywhere near that money. I'm happy for him though, could be his last pay day and he plays a tough position. Can't blame him for cashing in and the Cards are a decent team (albeit in a tough division).

So much for Tompa Bay lol...

I’d assume Jones is done there aside from a pay cut

 

[Sciz]

I'm expecting that $31M to include a bunch of incentives. I wonder if it's maybe just $23M/2yr fully guaranteed base with $8M in incentives. If that $31M is the real base value, then it's bizarre to see a contract with functional cash flow of $23M in year 1 and $8M in year 2.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Too much guaranteed money. His last few years weren't any indication?

 

[Deus Irae]

Congrats to him on finding someone to pay him that much. He chose money over Lombardi potential, but whatever works for him.

 

[lancerman]

A ring won’t mean a thing to his legacy. His position doesn’t get judged by that. Take the payday

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

JJ was scheduled to make $17.5M in Houston and now he is going to make $15.5M in Arizona? And he asked to be released? And there were LOTS of teams clamoring for him, or so we are told. Arizona will not sniff a ring, so why change teams? Good for him I guess. More money than I will make in 2021.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

i think GB is in better shape for a super bowl run than Arizona. puzzled by this move unless GB couldn’t offer him a decent contract.

The price for Adam Butler just went up.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Talk about an overpay lol.
