I'd love to see a before and after snapshot. They pile the money into 2022 and 2023 but those are the years that JJ Watt comes off the books (if he is gone).

So compared to some teams like the Saints (who are currently 69 million over the 2021 cap) they are not THAT bad off.

He does deserve this but It will certainly have some consequences. 

The saints being in cap trouble is a little different seeing as they have routinely been to the NFCCG. Their division has gotten tougher with Tampa coming in strong this year but they are still favored.

Texans have not had a string of deep post season runs and some would argue they aren’t even in the top half of their division. Not to mention they just lost arguably one of the best WRs in the league. It isn’t a stretch to forecast Watson having a drop off. 

Being in cap hell and still needing quite a few pieces is not a good situation.
