JJ Watt has multiple offers.
I know the $15-16M one isn't from the Steelers. They're $22M over the cap and need to be under it in the next week or two (like everyone else in the league).
I think the true contenders here are the Browns and Bills. TB and KC could be dark horses if they have offers on the table.
Stranger's Browns should go all in. The window of opportunity closes in a hurry in the NFL. KC looked very beatable for most of the year. The Bills are thisclose to being overwhelmingly dominant or crashing. The Pats and Steelers are down. The Ravens have big flaws. The Colts could be a contender if Reich gets Wentz on the right track. The Jags will have a few years of rebuilding before they're contenders. Miami and the Jets probably don't have a QB. Cincy isn't worth mentioning. Neither is Denver. SD is on the cusp with Hebert. Oakland is a pretender. Point being, strike NOW.
I was thinking about the Steelers not really being a contender for JJ and thought about what I would do if I was running the team:
I'd wait until close to the trading deadline, and then start dangling talent to contenders, even Cleveland. I'd want no players in return, just picks. Everyone would be available, even BB. (If you're Belichick, TB just won a SB without you, you have a dozen key players returning from covid opt outs, wouldn't BB be worth a 1st rounder after what you just saw out of Cam? Get that next SB win to prove that Brady was just a gog and then retire on top.)
Steelers need to dump salary, old players, and get as many picks as they can.
