J.J. Watt: 'You’re gonna have to give me a second' to choose a new team

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 2/22/21

It has been nine days since the Houston Texans released J.J. Watt. Several teams have shown their interest in the All-Pro defensive end, but it appears he's in no rush to make a decision.

An Arizona Cardinals fan asked Watt on Twitter whether "you wanna sign somewhere or nah?" The 31-year-old had a funny but truthful response.

I scroll through door dash for like an hour before I pick a restaurant man...

You’re gonna have to give me a second to choose a new team and city. https://t.co/eQXD3eNVFJ

The Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills are among teams interested in Watt. Although he hasn't made a decision, it's unclear if he's leaning toward one team more than others.

Of course, Watt has obvious ties to Pittsburgh, with his brothers T.J. and Derek currently on the team. There's also an obvious connection to the Packers. Watt grew up in Wisconsin, played college football for the Wisconsin Badgers and grew up a Packers fan.
