    I knew the team wouldn't have the balls to mess this up. Good news.

    Gonna just close my eyes and hope for the best. Something similar to the Peterson deal would be cool but I'm expecting quite a bit more.

    I don't think it is good idea to get cute with the most dominant defensive player in the league.

    all of the 2011 draft class studs are getting extended, better to handle this now rather than let JJ get close to sniffing FA

    Well it's slightly more than Mario Williams got a few years ago when he signed a 96 mil contract with 50 mil guaranteed so I'd say Watt took less than he could have gotten on the open market.
