J.J. Watt Rumors: Star 'Seriously Considering' Browns After Release from Texans

Free-agent defensive end J.J. Watt is reportedly "seriously considering" the Cleveland Browns following his release from the Houston Texans.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported Tuesday the Browns check all the boxes Watt is seeking in a new team—a Super Bowl contender with cap space, a strong supporting cast and a positive environment—and the front office reached out as soon as he became available Friday.

The 2021 free-agent class will feature some of the NFL's top playmakers.

On the offensive side of the ball, superstar quarterback Dak Prescott might hit the market, while difference-makers like wide receivers Chris Godwin, Allen Robinson II and Kenny Golladay and offensive linemen Trent Williams and Brandon Scherff will be free agents.
