Any thoughts on if he can be back in form?
Britt was not under contract for any team after getting cut early in 2020. Watt was released from his contract so that he could shop around.
Looks like it.

That grade is from ONE game Seattle-Rams week 5 of the 2019 season.Looks like it.
Graded as "Replaceable" by PFF 5 games into the 2019 season.
The Seahawks offensive line is not good
Week 5 of the 2019 NFL season is in the books, and there’s no debating that the Seattle Seahawks offensive line is not what most fans had hoped for heading into the season. The run blocking has...
OK, low end back up for the game.
Much appreciated.
Good catch....but its funny b/c even if that was his grade for the 8 games he played that season, overall he would STILL be considered to be better than Martin who graded out overall as 56.1.
There is some kind of three day negotiation period with free agents before 3/17(?) that they can agree but officially can’t sign? Something like that and it may only pertain to UFA. I’m here in Tempe and they mentioned it on the radio but I hardly keep up with that stuff
Yes.

Superb Owl here we come!!!
Oh I’m not saying he’s a long term answer but he’s still better than Martin and at a max of 5 million it’s a nice, team friendly one year deal. Some were complaining Texans cut Martin without any backup plan well there it is.29th ranked C in 2018

Yeah, but is he the 5th best center in a 4 team division? Takes a special kind of talent to do that.29th ranked C in 2018

Texans' Nick Martin was the worst center in the AFC South
Pro Football Focus graded Houston Texans center Nick Martin pretty harshly compared to the other centers in the AFC South.texanswire.usatoday.com
Was Martin ever rated 30th or worse?
Campen you’re on the clock!!!
What were you expecting them to do? Sign a pro bowl center? This is a cap saving move while getting a guy who is good enough.
3.5M is the 19th highest paid center in the league.
Once again you are cherry picking to support your argument. Are a look at all those other around and lower than 3.5 and notice what they all have in common. They are UFA this year. You don’t think those guys are going to sign for more of what the average is which is 6-10 million.
It's definitely another instance where beggars can't be choosers. For both sides of this agreement.
Holy Cow. Is he bought in or what? Checks in the mail Justin.
It's exactly because I don't think guys are going to be signed for more than usual (this being a reduced cap year) that this doesn't look like a "good" deal.
Yeah, except he didn't have to prove anything. His base salary is guaranteed.
As I had pointed out in the posts above, $3Mplus guaranteed isn't beggar's money.
The Texans are beggars in this as well. No FA is counting on playoff money if they sign here. No chance at a Super Bowl ring. This was likely Britt’s best shot at a starting gig. And he still had to get a little extra $$$. That’s where the Texans are as a NFL destination. We’re not in Foxboro anymore, Toto.
a backup “plan” with a guy who hasn’t played in a season-plus because of injury sounds more like a gamble. Seems like a good guy and teammate so hope it works out.
The only beggars in this instance is NC.
Exactomundo. Right now, players that want to come and sign in Houston are those with a shot at a starting gig, like Britt or David Johnson, and those down to their last chance to stay employed.
Yea he's 6'6", 331/2 so modest length and has some tackle experience so could also be a reserve at other OL positions.
First never said the “players will be squeezed like lemons” I said the Pats are cutthroat and I believe Caserio is to. This is not a bad deal at all and you may not have noticed but 2018 was three years ago and all salaries have gone up. You have no idea at all what the average salaries for centers will be once they all start signing new contracts. Even still one year gigs often cost more because the player knows it may be the only they make on the contract and that in a year they could very well be looking for a new team.
@CloakNNNdagger posted a little bit about his injury, was hoping he would give more insight into how it would affect him more long term (hint hint CnD). From the little I know about it though an ACL rupture wouldn’t take away his base like Martin’s injuries did. Is it a gamble, sure every player is but he’s almost 2 years to recover so it’s not as big as some are making it out to be.
You're talking one-year deal, what about that Donald Penn's deal?First never said the “players will be squeezed like lemons” I said the Pats are cutthroat and I believe Caserio is to. This is not a bad deal at all and you may not have noticed but 2018 was three years ago and all salaries have gone up.

Seriously if you are flipping out this much over 5 million then it’s going to be a very long off season for you. I had forgotten how trying to discuss things with you is
So Washington got a good deal, we got a good deal when we signed Honey badger that one year. There are always players that play better than their price tag and players that play worse, those are outliners. Unless you think the upcoming average for one year players will be 250k.
Those parameters were set by the McNair's yrs ago.
I've been looking, but so far no player in a situation similar/close to it, so I can't compare yet.
First he’s not a backup he’s our starter. You are basing that on PFF who’s player evaluation has always been questionable at best even if you take them as gospel.
