I too would've paid for Watt... I think you're only gambling on health. If healthy, he's obviously worth that money.
I don't think we had the chance to match. I think that Watt got the list of teams who were willing to field competitive offers, and he picked his destination. He wasn't scraping for every last cent he could make.
The dude wanted to play in Arizona. Good for him. I'm going to love watching what that Cardinals defense can do over the next two seasons. Jones and Watt on the outside with Isaiah Simmons patrolling the middle (Yes, I'm still foolishly thinking Simmons can be a good weapon if used correctly)... I'm excited.
