From the minute J.J. Watt announced he was leaving Houston talk of him coming to the NFC North was everywhere. Would he join his wife, Chicago Red Stars forward Kealia Watt, in the Windy City or head home to Wisconsin and the Packers. Well, the answer is neither. The five-time Pro Bowler has signed a two-year $31 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport, $23 million of that will be guaranteed.
You can check out the video he posted breaking the news that he’s moving on to Texans fans below. I’m sure it doesn’t make them feel any better about losing the superstar, but it was a classy move.
