While there's a strong possibility that Deshaun Watson has played his final game as a member of the Houston Texans, it appears J.J. Watt may be in that same category.

According to NFL Network's James Palmer, "there's belief" that Watt has played his last game as a Texan.

The belief with teammates and coaches I’ve spoken to is that Watt has played his last game as a Texan. A few told me that was the mood in the locker room after their final game. https://t.co/vBsrflwyf4

Following Houston's season finale against the Tennessee Titans, Watt acknowledged that his future with the Texans is murky. His desire to play for a championship contender has been known for a while.

The 31-year-old was mentioned as a potential trade candidate leading up to the trade deadline this season, but he wound up finishing the year in Houston.

Watt has one year remaining on his current contract at $17.5 million. He's undeniably one of the best players in Texans history, winning Defensive Player of the Year three times and earning five Pro Bowl selections. He is also a five-time All-Pro and was named Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2017.

In 128 regular-season games, Watt has 101 sacks, 409 solo tackles, 25 forced fumbles, 16 fumble recoveries, 172 tackles for a loss and 282 quarterback hits.
