J.J. Watt has agreed to a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. Watt was released last month by the Houston Texans. But the more he looked at his options, the more the Arizona Cardinals made sense. Watt said the team's recruiting pitch was “strong and heavy” when trying to entice the edge rusher to the desert. Watt said he'll always remember Houston fondly, but he's eager to start the next phase of his career with the Cardinals.

Watt was released last month by the Houston Texans, for whom he won three NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards. Watt had one year remaining on a six-year, $100 million contract with the Texans. He was the league's top defensive player in 2012, 2014 and 2015.

While this past year has been perhaps especially rough with the departures, there have certainly been other top stars who have left Houston before that. The Rockets traded McGrady in 2010 to the New York Knicks in a 3-team deal. Midway through the 1987 season, the Rockets traded Sampson and Steve Harris for Sleepy Floyd and Joe Barry Carroll. Moses Malone - 1982A two-time NBA MVP with the Houston Rockets, Moses Malone left in 1982 as a restricted free agent. Houston traded the aging winger to Sporting Kansas City before the 2016 season, and Davis retired after that season.

His work has become well known throughout the Houston area, primarily for murals showcasing the likes of Jose Altuve, James Harden, and most of all, J.J. Watt. “We ended up going with a J.J. Watt theme. His commissioned work has covered all Houston sports, but he said he’s painted walls of Watt more than others. “It’s shocking to see him leaving,” Hawkins said, who added when you’ve dedicated so much to Houston as did J.J. Watt, it becomes an expectation to stay. Saldana said clients have called him already asking to update their walls, as Houston says goodbye to J.J. Watt.

With no knowledge of who the team will hire as general manager, Watt has been candid that he’s not sure where he stands. After Sunday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans, Watt reiterated that there are too many “unknowns.” But he added that he hopes Texans fans know how he feels about them. See what Watt shared with Texans fans:

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt leaves the field after a losing an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, Dec. 27, 2020, in Houston. HOUSTON – The Houston Texans have been bad all season. Sunday was the third time in the past four games the Texans have had a chance to win or tie a game late but lost a fumble instead. “And in my mind, for me, he brings a high level of hope for us to be able to win a game. The Titans beat the Texans 42-36 in overtime in Week 6 behind a 212-yard rushing performance from Derrick Henry.

The Bills can wrap up the AFC East for the first time since 1995 win a victory at Denver on Saturday or a Dolphins loss on Sunday against the Patriots. The AFC West champion Chiefs can clinch a first-round bye with a win over the Saints and losses by the Steelers and Bills. The Titans can also get in with a win and losses by the Raiders and Dolphins and a Browns win. The Saints can clinch the NFC South with a win over the defending champion Chiefs or a loss by the Buccaneers at Atlanta.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Chubb returned from a stint on injured reserve and scored a touchdown early in the fourth quarter — topping 100 yards rushing along with teammate Kareem Hunt — and the Cleveland Browns pushed through rough weather for a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Hunt finished with 104 yards, including 37 yards — and three first downs — on Cleveland’s final drive as the Browns (6-3) ran out the clock. Before Watson’s scoring pass, the Texans couldn’t muster much offense as swirling winds blew Watson’s passes off course and affected a 46-yard field-goal attempt. INJURIESTexans: On the play before Chubb’s TD, Watt had his right ankle rolled on accidentally by Browns guard Wyatt Teller.

HOUSTON – J.J. Watt and Will Fuller are still Texans after the NFL trade deadline passed Tuesday. It was widely reported that the Green Bay Packers were looking for another weapon for Aaron Rodgers, and Will Fuller was on their wish list. According to ESPN, Green Bay officials were split on whether or not to make the move and it ended up not going through. “No big moves,” McNair said. “You’ll see some little things happened over the weekend but no big moves.

HOUSTON – The Houston Texans are 1-5 with severe cap issues heading into 2021, meaning the team could be a seller at the NFL Trade Deadline on November 3. Watt is on the books for $17.5 million in 2021 with no dead cap (meaning the Texans could cut Watt without paying anything). An article from the Athletic proposes the Texans trade Watt to New Orleans for DT Sheldon Rankins and a first-round pick. Duke Johnson, running backWhy trade him?

HOUSTON – J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson broke their silence after Monday’s firing of head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien. Here are three interesting things they said on Wednesday:Watt wants the fans back on board“One of the things, I’m excited about right now is hopefully getting on the same page with our fan base again. I feel like that is something where there has certainly been a bit of a tension there in the last months and years. I have all the respect for him and the things but the business – that’s just how the business goes. I’m looking forward to seeing that.

(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)(AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers spent two quarters trying to hem in Deshaun Watson. Slicing into the backfield relentlessly, the Steelers put the clamps on the Texans in the second half to rally for a 28-21 victory that pushed them to 3-0 for the first time in a decade. Houston managed just 51 yards and two first downs over in the final 30 minutes to fall to 0-3. After opening the season with two relatively drama-free wins, the Steelers needed to overcome an early 11-point deficit to stay perfect. Steelers: Johnson exited in the second quarter due to a concussion on the play where Roethlisberger helped pave the way for a short gain.

– Most of the time players stand on the sidelines as the national anthem is sung before an NFL game, but Thursday night’s season opener between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs was different. Texans defensive end J.J. Watt said he felt it was important for the teams to show solidarity. Booing could be heard as players from both teams locked arms at the center of the field for the moment of silence. “The booing was unfortunate during that moment,” Watt said. “It has really been a growing experience for our team,” Watt said.

That means their rematch at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night will be the first game for anybody since February. Chiefs coach Andy Reid no longer carries around the heavy and ignominious tag of best coach never to win a championship. This is the best opportunity you can have to start the season.That contract extension is the second largest in NFL history. Very, very dynamic players, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. They also will miss cornerback Bashaud Breeland and defensive tackle Mike Pennel, who are suspended for the start of the season.

HOUSTON One step into Freddie Valdezs home and its clear he is a Texans superfan, and he can tell you his favorite memory. Number one (moment) was the 2011 playoff game; it was the Texans' first playoff game. When the Chiefs announced 22% capacity for fans with priority going to Kansas City fans, Valdez knew he had to hurry and snag a ticket. To be at a football game, I dont care, Ill wear it for three or four hours, laughed Valdez. Im sure I probably wont be able to sleep three nights before the game, Valdez said smiling.

Its been different but our guys have adapted extremely well," Watt said during the interview on NBCs Today show. The Chiefs are one of five teams out of 32 total in the league allowing fans to attend home games. Coronavirus aside, another big question remains: what social statements will players make? When asked, Watt said the Texans are having a conversation Wednesday about social statements and the teams plan when the National Anthem plays. Fans can watch the game on KPRC 2 with coverage starting at 6 p.m.

Houston sports figures have offered financial assistance to help those impacted by the coronavirus.

(Steve Gonzales/Houston Chronicle via AP) (© 2020 Houston Chronicle)Houston Astros’ third baseman, Alex Bregman decided to help students in need and donated 1,000 quarantine food kits to the Houston Food Bank. According to the Houston Food Bank, the gift ensures that kids who depend on those free school lunches will get 28 meals per kit. For those who are healthy and feeling altruistic, there are multiple ways to help those in need in the Houston area in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak.

HOUSTON – Now that Kealia Ohai and J.J. Watt officially tied the knot earlier this month in the Bahamas, Mrs. Watt decided she will be sporting her new last name with her new soccer team, the Chicago Red Stars. Her husband, the Houston Texans star defensive end, shared a photo on his Instagram of what the jersey looks like. The former Houston Dash star will also be replacing her previous jersey number, 7, with the number 2. The jersey, priced at $105, is now available on the team’s website as one of its newest additions. “This means there’s now one more Watt running around dominating stadiums,” a fan commented.
