I can't see how he's going to be healthy enough to make that worthwhile for the Cardinals.

Definitely some injury history there, but that's part of the game. He did start all 16 games in 2020, and all 16 games in 7 of his 10 years in the league, so it's not like he's constantly injured.

In Arizona he won't have to do it all himself either, with Chandler Jones on the other side. I think he will have a big impact there. This probably makes them a top 10 defensive line.

I hope you're right. The Watts are the only players I would ever cheer for even if they were on the Cowboys.

I'll be pulling for him big-time.

I don't think he's worth anywhere near what they paid him if he produces like he did last year (despite playing all 16 games). He was an average DE last year.

I didn't watch Texans games much last year but Watts always had been doubled team or even triple teamed whenever he plays, Texans didn't really have any other players to take off the pressure from Watts. Playing with Jones will take off some pressure from Watts, which undoubtedly will make Watts play better.
