Wow.
From my chair, that's nowhere near enough for JJ Watt. That's a fair amount of barely above replacement level ballplayer for a true monster of a player. To get a guy that can create that kind of havoc in a 3-4 (thus allowing you to also send linebackers on the blitz) is a huge advantage. It's like playing defense with 12 guys on the field.
Watt is arguably the most valuable guy in the league. He's almost certainly the most valuable non-QB in the league, IMO.
Maybe I'm overvaluing him, but damn, he's one of the few defensive players out there worth calling 'untouchable' to me.
