JJ Watt stunned the NFL world Tuesday morning when he announced on Twitter he would be retiring at the end of this season. Including his own team.
That includes his own team.
Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that the team was not aware the 33-year-old defensive end was going to be walking away from the game. “Happy for him. He seems like he’s in a really good place. We had no idea that was coming, but what a tremendous player and person and an all-time great in this league,” Kingsburyon Wednesday. “So to see him play the way he played the other night and then hear that, I think it’s just a special time for him, the organization, the entire NFL to kind of celebrate him these last two weeks.
Watt, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, spent his first 10 seasons with the Texans. He was a five-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro and three-time Defensive Player of the Year in Houston.He then signed with the Cardinals as a free agent in 2021.
