The Watts are among the most popular combinations of brothers in the NFL, but the three of them were never able to play together on the same team. However, when J.J. Watt was a free agent in 2021, it almost happened.
While appearing on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast in June, J.J. explained that he considered signing with the Steelers to join T.J. and Derek while they were both in Pittsburgh, but T.J.’s contact negotiations complicated things.
“Certainly, it would have been awesome to play with my brothers, but T.J. was also going through the contract situation there, and the last thing I was going to do was come in and take any money away from his contract,” he said.
