cant argue with this logic....but Im still wondering why Boyd would tweet that out of the blue if there was nothing more to it??

This.
JJ Watt is right up there with Russell Wilson for most likeable guys in the NFL.
I can't see JJ Watt ever coming here given how far away the Bengals are from actually contending without Bengals willing to pay him way over what other teams are, but to not want him because of his personality is a head-scratcher to me.

For what it's worth I've heard Wilson wasn't too popular with many of his teammates (especially on the defensive side of the ball) during his early days in Seattle. He's always struck me as a lil phony... Helluva player though.

I think Watt lost a lot of his luster with fans in Cincinnati when he took the post game shots at Andy Dalton, for no real reason.

Likely so.  However, now that many of us can look at what Watt said, outside of the prism of "hey, that's our guy that he's talking about", was he wrong or inaccurate?

There's no doubt Andy looked bad in that game. I was just pointing out why some in Cincinnati may have a negative view of him, as opposed to the rest of the league's fans thinking he is great. It was one moment that reflected poorly on him. I would gladly welcome him here if he came here.

I don't recall what he aid likely due to I flipped the TV off immediatley after wasting another 3 hrs watching another disgusting playoff loss. 
Wondering, (whatever he said)  would you be offended if he was on Bengals and said that after they won a  playoff game?

[Gdale_Bengal]

He played all of last year, so he is due for some crazy season ending injury

It was still kind of a punk-ass thing to do.  Va-JJ was still butthurt that Andy's TCU team kicked his Wisconsin squad's asses in the Rose Bowl in his last year, and he held a grudge.  He said as much.

He's a grandstanding blowhard of the highest order, and also past his prime.  Loved seeing him lose to the lowly Bengals at home at the end of last season.  He took it so well, too, lol.

How do you get that I'm "offended?"  All I did was point out why his luster doesn't shine as much in Cincinnati, due to his shots at Dalton. I also said I'd welcome him to come here.  That's hardly "offended." He was making fun of Dalton, saying something to the effect Dalton wasn't a Red Rifle, but a Rusty Musket. He didn't take a shot at the team, he took a shot at an individual. It's low class. But by no means as low class as some others have done.

i have never really seen this.

He is past his prime now, so I don't really want him, but in his prime he was as good as any defensive player I have ever seen.  And I am old enough to remember guys like Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor.

if the choice is a rental on Watt or Lawson long term who you want

Don't think it would be a choice...Watt is not going to be getting 16 million per year...too many injuries....I would take care of Lawson first and then see what happens.  Put together a solid OL and this team becomes competitive real quick.  Everyone in the league knows this...If we do some positive things in FA then it may sway him to at least look at us.

I dunno. GB can't seem to turn that page. I can see why he would want to head to the state, but if he's looking for a ring, there's got to be better choices.

We've got the fifth biggest FA purse. That's without any cuts. We can make Lawson a solid offer and sign a guy like Watt, who likely isn't going to cost a ton. 

[Destro]

The team in the division he is least likely to play for.

For as much as the Bengals O-line is trashed, Watt didn't really have much of an impact on that game. The "Epic Watt" is no more.

What the hell is DJ Reader talking about? The "Jungle" was a ghost town years before the Rona came around. Once they let fans in last year, the stands looked like they did in 2019, and a coupla years prior. The Jungle was down by Great American Ballpark... Paul Brown Stadium is Joe Exotic's tiger farm.

Would absolutely love this. Reader would also help to bring him in I am sure...
