Watt as the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Albatross of a contract if I ever saw one. Hopefully he can get a few cheap shots in on Brady this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The guy is very good. But I agree that contract is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He is very good. I just know they're trying to unload Wallace now due to overpaying him. Compare him to Watt and I'd take Watt in a heartbeat, far better character guy and just as disruptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Totally agree. What you are talking about is exactly why I don't believe in making big FA splashes. It also gets to my point of trading star talent for picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think this Suh deal precludes Ngata taking a pay cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think this Suh deal precludes Ngata taking a pay cut. Maybe, Ngata is good, but not on the level of Suh. No one will pay him even close to the Suh deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 No the Suh deal changed the landscape of the position on payroll. It is just like the Haynesworth deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
