J.J. Watt is Pro Football Focus's Player of The Year.

Hope the Texans manage to keep both Watt and Cush. They're going to really cash in when the time comes.

 

The Texans can't sign Watt this offseason. A player under his first contract must play at least three years before signing him to another deal. It's part of the CBA.

It's good for the Texans since they have him on the cheap for another year.

 

They have at least 2 seasons before they really have to worry. And during that time big time contracts should be coming off the books by then. Not much to worry about unless retaining Cushing is unwilling to give a partial discount to us because if Watt is going to get Mario Williams money we can't give Cushing anything more then half without dropping key players.

 

Another important note about PFF: they rated Andre Johnson's overall year better than Calvin Johnson.

 

I know every team has that vocal leader on each side of the ball that the team rallies around, but I think there's a perfect storm brewing for Watt to be much more than that. Like how you'll hear non Baltimoreans say Ray Lewis is their favorite player in the league, I think JJ Watt has the same universal appeal, and now media exposure, to become a household name.

He's become the posterboy of what I assume the NFL wants. Hits clean, plays clean, endless energy, great backstory, superb representative of the city and the game, all-world level of dominance.

 

Can Watt get better?

 

Well deserved.

 

And he doesn't murder anyone. That has to account for something.

 

Yea. He also got targeted A LOT, because quite frankly, he's really all they got that is consistent.
