Texans are releasing JJ Watt.

USCPHILLYGUY · 02-12-21, 10:03 AM

Could have traded him & probably got a 3rd rd pick.

pologq · 02-12-21, 10:05 AM

steelers have to be the faves to land him

His contract would have been a problem is what I read.

Maverick11 · 02-12-21, 10:13 AM

Steelers, bears,or packers… Texans will still get a compensatory third round pick which is about what he would’ve been worth on the trade market.

taking on a high priced aging Vet is not what the Steelers do

Might be a way to negotiate his brother's contract by agreeing to bring him in.

MinnesotaFats · 02-12-21, 10:47 AM

Don't be shocked if he wins up with the Vikes or Packers.

He's not going to Pittsburgh, they are dumping Roethlisberger and rebuilding.

He will go where there's a veteran QB and a guy on the DL opposite him.

BTW is Houston like the most toxic sports city in America? EVERYONE leaving...cheating, wanting out, NFL, NBA, MLB... jesus

jjgold · 02-12-21, 10:51 AM

He is overrated now

Booya711 · 02-12-21, 10:53 AM

Guy plays 2.5 games a year because he can’t stay healthy....like gold just said...not worth it as he is overrated

BuckyOne · 02-12-21, 10:53 AM

If he is healthy again maybe a team would regenerate him.

These type of players - I would forget the money and go play for a team with a chance to win.

He could find the perfect fit and be a star again? Where is the best fit?

they already way overpaying 1 Watt brother they don't use, They aren't going to pay big $ for another Watt in a position area they don't need help in.

They are in big trouble with their Cap, they aren't looking to add, they are looking to cut

it's not all Ben. But there is dead money on there. So even if he retires, he get's cut or they restructure the deal Its gonna be a cap hit of something like 15 million for 2021 at least

seaborneq · 02-12-21, 11:45 AM

Houston shouldn’t have to play football in 2021. Let the Longhorns take their place in the AFC South until they get their shit together. Longhorns can finish last in the division just like the Texans

Chi_archie · 02-12-21, 03:11 PM

Will JJ Watt consider switching to center.

forgot they have to replace Pouncey.

Center is a position the Steelers have had to fill about 5 times in the last 50 years, and they mostly fill it with all pro hall of famer types.

Stillers should rebuild, figure out which young guys to extend that can help out in 2023 and beyond
