warfelg Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Thinking outside the box, anyone can sign JJ after 5 today IIRC. With Pouncey retiring and being released, if we do the same with Vance, we can technically give JJ a big signing/roster bonus for the 2020 league year and have him make the minimum on a 2 year deal basically covering 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 There’s a little bit of a growing sense that Ben might be hanging it up too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbrunn Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Do what you have to too get jj here. Pouncey, Vance , Ben (extension with no new money or retire) Restructure heyward , extend decastro and Nelson Plenty of money available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If Ben did retire....figure out how to get JJ. Make the defense elite. Cut Haden, resign Hilton and Sutton, extend Nelson and make the D sustainably top 3 in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFF Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 With $19 mill, you might be able to land both JJ and say a bridge QB like Fitzpatrick...maybe even Sutton too if the yr1 cap hits are low enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzburgh Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 How do you utilize JJ Watt in our defense to make it worth the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move him around, move Cam and Stephon around, use less traditional NT. If he comes for cheap you got to think he understands he's part of the rotation.

jebrick Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 He would last longer as part of a rotation. If he wants to win he will not look to Pittsburgh. If he wants the chance to play with his brothers it is the only game in town 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Other teams can offer more, but no one can offer his brothers. Will be interesting to see what that means to them. IMO it means family sacrifice - probably mainly from TJ. A la, if JJ is worth $15m (example, I’m not looking up his real value now) maybe he takes $10m per and instead of a $30m contract TJ takes $25m. That’s a $10m per family discount but if they wanted desperately to play together, maybe it’s an option. There’s a 5% chance JJ is a Steeler, but boy am I here for it.
