Houston Texans defensive lineman JJ Watt took to Twitter this morning to announce that he and team have mutually agreed to part ways. Watt was drafted by the Texans in 2011 and he was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year three times from 2012-15. Watt is coming off just his second 16-game season since 2015, as he has dealt with several season-ending injuries since then. Watt is also the only player in NFL history to have multiple 20 quarterback sack seasons.
ESPN reports twin centers Maurkice Pouncey and Mike Pouncey have retired today. Maurkice was drafted 18th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2010 draft, while Mike went 15th overall to the Miami Dolphins the following year. The two were instantly full-time starters for their teams.
