They were just the #3 seed in the playoffs this year, and obviously the line between good and great is pretty thin in this league.
He and his bros are extremely close. It’s the Steelers or going home to the Packers. He’s not coming here.
He has all the money he needs. The only thing his legacy is missing is a ring. That will never happen in Pitt and the odds of it happening in GB is low as well.
If it wasn’t about the ring then Chicago would make the most sense because his wife plays professional soccer there. [Reply]

Meh, we’ll see. Steelers and Packers are certainly a lot closer to a ring than the Bears.
Certainly wouldn’t mind having him but not going to fawn over it. [Reply]
ESPN's Ed Werder reports the Steelers, Browns, Bills, Titans, and "approximately a dozen teams" have expressed interest in J.J. Watt.
Watt asked the Texans to release him, and they obliged, making him an unrestricted free agent heading into his age-32 season. It's no surprise that half the league is already lining up to sign him. Watt likely already knows where he plans on signing -- perhaps joining his brothers in Pittsburgh if he's willing to take a big pay cut -- but free agency doesn't open until mid-March. Despite the dip in sack production (5.0), Watt was graded as the No. 7 edge rusher among 124 qualifiers per PFF last season. His 40 tackles were tied for fifth at the position. He can be an asset on a Super Bowl contender for the next two seasons or so. [Reply]
