"I'm a very fortunate, lucky man, I have a
beautiful wife, I have a beautiful son," Watt said. "I've had 12
great years in this league and I'm very thankful to have walked
away healthy and playing great.
"I told (former teammate and current Texans coach DeMeco Ryans)
last year, I said, ‘Don't call unless you absolutely need it,
but if you ever do call, I'll be there.' And he knows not to
call unless he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I'll
tell him that, because I'm not going to keep training the way
I've been training, but he knows that if he ever truly does need
it, I'll be there for him. I don't anticipate that happening --
they've got a very good group."
Watt, 35, played for the Texans from 2011-20 before finishing
his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals (2021-22).
Houston bolstered its pass-rushing group by signing Danielle
Hunter and Denico Autry, who last season recorded 16.5 and 11.5
sacks, respectively.
Watt is a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, five-time
All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection. He was named to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame All-2010s Team.
Watt currently is an NFL analyst for CBS Sports.
