Agreement in principle being reported by several sources.

Six years
$100 million
$51.876 million guaranteed.

Tops Mario's deal. Should make him highest paid defensive player I believe.

Well deserved. Big money, but seems like it's appropriate for the times and money well spent.

Good news. Watt is devoted to his craft and has earned it...

Comment from another board "You can pay a defensive player like a franchise quarterback when you aren't paying for a franchise quarterback."

Which reminds me. Aren't we still paying for Schaub or did the Raiders absorb his entire contract with the trade (and how stupid were the Raiders to do that if that were the case)?

But that's the problem, we still need to locate a F-QB, and then pay him, but if he's a free agent it's gonna be tough to do. Happy for JJ and he's deserving, but this wasn't something that needed to be done by management/ownership.
