It appears former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has dropped a significant hint about his free agency in a rather unexpected way.
According to ESPN's Field Yates, Watt has updated his Peloton profile to include a bio that reads: "SB56...GB..CLE..BUF." It would appear Watt has narrowed his preferred destinations to the Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills.

This seems to connect to reports that the 31-year-old has narrowed his list of possible destinations between three and five teams. The Packers would bring him to his home state of Wisconsin. The Browns would allow him to contend for a championship. The Bills nearly made it to the Super Bowl last season.
According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, Watt has received offers in the $15 million to $16 million range. It's unclear which teams have made offers, but if that is his Peloton profile, he's definitely having some fun and keeping fans on their toes this offseason.
