PetesHereNow : 3/1/2021 12:51 pm
Watt just posted a photo of himself in a Cardinals t-shirt on his Twitter.
2 years, 31M, 23M guaranteed

i wonder what the next highest offer was
Wow  
Sammo85 : 3/1/2021 1:06 pm : link
Wonder if they might cut Jones or not sign Reddick now.

at those numbers and that length contract I much would have preferred him over Leonard Williams for the next 2 yrs.

Glad you're not in charge then. He's played 16 games twice in the last 5 seasons and will be 32. And even in 16 games last season, his production was closer to Tomlinson's than LW's.

I'm not sure how he'll hold up and how effective he'll be - i am interested to see how they use him. He's going to need his snaps managed.
Reaction on the Cards fan board  
Bill in UT : 3/1/2021 1:13 pm : link
is mostly negative. One post said they beat out 9 other teams to sign him, Buffalo foremost

Chance with watt over next two years plus a third round comp pick
Or Leonard Williams

That's an interesting thought, actually. The health variable is the obvious challenge, but IF you get 13-14 games for two years at 7-10 sacks/pressures/15+ TFL it's a real bargain contract...

I wonder if that hurts their chances of re-sgining Reddick?

He hasn't had 7-10 sacks since 2018.

They had roughly $11M in cap space before this so will be pretty tight now. But there were rumors that they were looking to cut/trade Chandler Jones so they could free up $15.5M by following thru on that.

If the Giants had signed Watt to this contract, I'd be sick to my stomach.
What do you believe the Over/Under is on games played during the next 2 seasons? 18? 20?

That's insanity.

Toth029 : 3/1/2021 2:11 pm : link
Of coin for a declining player.

Funny some responses here. They acting like this is JJ from 2013. He ain't around anymore.

Reddick is gonna hit FA now unless the Cards release Chandler Jones.

20 seems right. Look, I'm not saying I would sign Watt, but I get the bet by Zona. They are in the most competitive division in the NFL and need more defense...
23 mill guaranteed

For a washed player. Reminds me of the Golden Tate signing a few years ago.
Some posters don't disappoint  
TrueBlue56 : 3/1/2021 2:37 pm : link
another team signs a player and we should have signed him for that. If we had signed him for that, i can imagine the very same posters blasting gettleman for over spending on an injury riddled player who has only had 1 great season in the last 5 years and clearly declining.

And yet others never disappoint in coming to the rescue of a General Manager that has put together a team that has a combined record of 15-33 over his past three years on the job...

At his peak, a dominating player, but his body has completely betrayed him. I don't think this will end up well.

Then use that money to re-sign Reddick, or a young FA with upside.

For what it's worth, Cardinals DVOA was 10th for defense and 19th for its offense.

He's not kidding you. and if we had signed a guy who can't stay healthy to a contract like that, he'd start a thread bitching and whining like a 4 year old.

Right, but now Stafford is in the NFCW and JimG will be back in the saddle for the 9ers.

Not exactly Montana and Fouts.

Stafford and JimG are considerably better and more talented the Goff and Mullens/Beathard.
