Future Hall of Fame defensive end JJ Watt officially has a new team. Watt, who was a free agent after being released by the Houston Texans last month, agreed to a deal with the Arizona Cardinals.

Watt broke the news himself, posting a photo of himself working out in Cardinals gear on Twitter.

The team confirmed the news shortly after in a series of tweets that included photos of Watt landing in Arizona.

“I’m excited to get started,” Watt said after arriving. “Very excited to get started, get to work, get to know the people of Arizona.”

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Watt will earn $31 million during his two-year stay with the Cardinals, and $23 million of that is guaranteed.

JJ Watt asked the Houston Texans to release him after he spent 10 years with the franchise. He said at the time that he wants to go to a team that can give him an opportunity to contend for the Super Bowl.

It is safe to say that Watt will have a tough time achieving this goal with the Cardinals. Even with him on the board, Arizona is still considered the fourth-best team in their division, with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and LA Rams arguably being in the better position to win.

But Watt did get the money he wanted, so the deal will probably work out for him either way.

It didn’t take long for JJ Watt to generate interest in his services after being released by the Houston Texans. One of the teams interested in signing Watt is the Cleveland Browns, and it appears that the feeling is mutual.

According to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot, Watt is “seriously” considering the Browns as his next destination. Cabot’s sources say that the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year is attracted by the team’s talented roster and believes he would be able to play for a Super Bowl in Cleveland.

Another thing that entices JJ Watt is the Browns’ cap space. Despite putting a championship as his top priority, the 31-year-old star reportedly also wants to get paid properly.

Watt walked away from a $17.5 million salary when he agreed to part ways with the Texans last week, so he will probably ask for a salary in that range from his new team. The Browns, with $21.7 million in space, can make that happen.

Watt, a five-time Pro Bowler and five-time First-Team All-Pro selectee, has several other teams monitoring him. The Pittsburgh Steelers, where his brother TJ Watt plays, is one frequently mentioned suitor, while the Green Bay Packers are also believed to be interested.
