Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt reveals retirement had been in the works for several weeks, adds he will have no regrets.
Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy joined defensive end J.J. Watt for a quick breakfast in the team’s cafeteria when he said he first heard the news.
But it was also important, Watt said, to go out on top. He’s leading the 4-11 Cardinals is sacks , quarterback hits and tackles for loss and has been playing his best football the past two weeks with just two games left to play — at the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday and at the San Francisco 49ers after that.
Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said he and his staff were unaware that Watt had been preparing to announce his retirement after earning five first-team All-Pro and five Pro Bowl selections and winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2017. “The thing I don’t want to get lost is that I never did it alone,” Watt said. “I’ve had so many incredible people help me. My parents always said, ‘It takes a small village to raise a child,’ and it truly has taken many villages to raise me and to help me become who I am and to do the things that I’ve done. I didn’t do anything by myself.
