JJ Watt ‘Seriously’ Considering Cleveland Browns Move Ahead of 2021 NFL Season

JJ Watt has been in the NFL since 2011. He was a first-round pick (11th overall) by AFC South franchise Houston Texans. Over time, he has gone on to establish himself as the best defensive end in the league along with the likes of Aaron Donald, Khalil Mack, and others.

Watt was voted the NFL Defensive Player of the Year on three occasions (2012, 2014, and 2015). After an injury-hit season in 2019, Watt returned to the starting line-up in 2020. But even he could not help the Texans from falling to a 4-12 record. He opted to part ways with the franchise earlier this month and is now a free agent.

With several teams being linked for his signature, where will the in-demand defensive star end up this offseason?

JJ Watt and Myles Garrett pairing for the Browns in 2021?

As per the latest reports Cleveland.com, Kevin Stefanski-coached Cleveland Browns is one of the potential destinations for Watt this year. He is being chased by some big teams, no doubt. But Browns fans will be fantasizing about a dream defensive pairing of Myles Garrett and JJ Watt.

“He’s a very, very unique…He gets those long arms up, and he bats balls in the air. He’s a very, very disruptive player. He lines up all over the formation, so you can’t key in on where he is going to be. I have a huge amount of respect for what he has done in his career,” HC Kevin Stefanski said with respect to JJ Watt last November.

Even Portland Trailblazers superstar CJ McCollum is doing his best to recruit the now 31-year old free agent.

Figured I waited enough days for things to chill out. You’re more than welcome to come to Cleveland to play for my @Browns . Defense would be sensational. Just a thought @JJWatt . Let me know if you need anything in Ohio. Plus we get plenty of snow. Blessings

Former Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year award winner, JJ Watt, is also rumored to be in contact with Matt LaFleur’s Green Bay Packers and Sean McDermott-coached Buffalo Bills as well. Both teams made it to their respective Conference finals last season.

AFC South rivals, Tennessee Titans, are also rumored to be interested in bringing in the experienced NFL defensive end. Where do you think JJ Watt will end up this summer? Tell us in the comments section below.
