Everyone wants JJ Watt.
The former Houston Texans defensive end has only been on the market for a few days, and he’s quickly become the most in-demand free agent in recent memory. Every fanbase is trying to find a way to fit Watt into their schedule and salary cap, including the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Even Steeler’s wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is taking action. Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Deandre Hopkins took to Instagram to lobby for his former teammate to join him in Arizona. But Smith-Schuster hijacked the post with his own comment that Watt would be coming to Pittsburgh to play with his brothers.
In case you didn’t know, TJ and Derek, JJ’s younger brothers, both already play for the Steelers. But the bigger takeaway from Smith-Schuster’s comment may be the fact that he’s luring Watt to Pittsburgh, even though he’ll soon be a free agent himself. Perhaps this foreshadows the fact that Smith-Schuster plans to return to the Steelers and have all three Watt brothers with him.
