The Green Bay Packers and 30 other NFL teams will soon have the opportunity to add a three-time Defensive Player of the Year.
J.J. Watt, one of the best defensive players of the generation, will be released by the Houston Texans, who have agreed to mutually part ways with their eight-time All-Pro defensive end.
The Packers, for reasons real and imaginary, will be one of the most popular speculated landing spots for Watt. While the pros of the Packers adding the former Wisconsin Badger star are many, such a move has significant risk and is bordering on unlikely, given the current state of the Packers salary cap.
