1. J.J. Watt’s tweets during his free agency have led to some great content. Fans are hanging on Watt’s every tweet, looking for any sign he may be leaning toward joining a certain team. Five days after parting ways with the Texans, Watt shared his very concise thoughts on being in demand.
Last week, NFL fans went wild with conspiracy theories after J.J. shared video of his brother, T.J., shoveling snow. And over the weekend, Watt amusingly explained why his free-agency decision might take some time.
That brings us to Tuesday morning. Watt is now clearly playing along with all this ridiculousness. He knows anything he says will get blown up, so he’s decided to screw with us. That can be the only explanation for this tweet.
Just give him a minute!
J.J. Watt is finally getting to experience what it’s like to be an NFL star picking his next team and he’s learning that a lot of the process is just being badgered by people online.
Watt is pretty active on social media, and now every time he posts something, the comments are flooded with people telling him where to sign. When he marked his first wedding anniversary by posting a video of his wife, Kealia, eating chicken wings in her wedding dress, he was bombarded with comments saying he should sign with Buffalo so Kealia can eat the best wings in the world. A few days later, he tweeted simply, “free agency is wild,” and the replies proved his point. Every last one of them was telling him to sign here or sign there. Even a video of his brother, Steelers pass rusher T.J., shoveling snow at J.J.’s house was construed as a recruiting tactic.
