The Most Likely Landing Spots For JJ Watt After His Release From Texans

JJ Watt has been released by the Houston Texans, and that now opens up the future Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end to shop his services to a team he feels could help him get a ring. It's no secret that Watt wants to win a Super Bowl.

"He knows he only has so many games left and he is ready to go and try to win," CBS's Jason La Canfora reported days before Watt's release.

So that brings us to where JJ Watt will end up when the 2021 seasons kicks off in September. Remember, winning a ring is the goal. Money isn't the main issue here.



Browns: Combining JJ Watt and Myles Garrett sounds like a bad idea for NFL quarterbacks. While the Browns are a clear playoff contender, that AFC North doesn't afford much wiggle room. It's not the clearest path to the Super Bowl.

Titans: Indy will have a new quarterback, the Texans will be a mess, and Jacksonville will throw Trevor Lawrence out there to be beaten up. Vrabel and Watt have a very good relationship. Is it time to reunite and rekindle the bromance?

Tampa Bay: If winning a ring is the goal, it might not be a bad idea to kick the tires on the Buccaneers and see if they have room for a future Hall of Famer. Remember, a team hasn't repeated since the Patriots did it in 2003-04. Does Watt want to get on the TB12 age-defying smoothie plan and possibly face Green Bay in the NFC title game? Remember, a ring is the goal here.

The odds-on-favorite: Green Bay. It just feels like the NFL gods are at work here, and JJ will be hand-delivered to where he should've been playing all along.
