The J.J. Watt sweepstakes appear to be heating up. We heard earlier this morning that the Browns were seriously in the running for the pass-rusher’s services, and we now know of at least one more AFC team that has already had some communication with him.
The Titans have had contact with Watt’s camp, GM Jon Robinson confirmed at a press conference Tuesday. There had been an initial report days ago that Tennessee was expected to be in the running. Robinson emphasized that it was early and talks were still in the exploratory stage, but it’s now official that Houston’s AFC South rival is interested in keeping him in the division.
Wherever he lands, it sounds like there’s going to be somewhat of a bidding war between numerous interested teams, and even though he’s about to turn 32 we should expect him to land significant guaranteed money at this point. Tennessee, of course, could desperately use Watt’s help getting after opposing quarterbacks.
They had one of the worst pass-rushes in the league last season, and their big offseason splash acquisition of Jadeveon Clowney didn’t work out as he played in only eight games and registered no sacks before getting shutdown. The Steelers and Bills are other teams reported to be interested in the Texans legend so far, although there will surely be more.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Just every team with money has contacted Watts
I don’t think the Titans have enough to get to the Super Bowl – and that should be Watt’s primary goal at this point in his career (other than playing on the same team as his siblings just for the fun of it).
If TJ don’t go to Pittsburgh Or Titans he would be awesome in Chicago opposite of Mack see you later Quinn giving your money to TJ Wyatt – good money plus we got Gibson jr sophomore year and maybe the First rounder who beat Quinn out in my opinion
Um, sir, it’s JJ. TJ is already in Pittsburgh
I hope the Titans didn’t give JJ covid.
