Welcome to the Valley, @JJWatt!
We have agreed to terms with J.J. Watt on a two-year contract.

Watt was released by the Houston Texans after 10 seasons and 101 sacks.
JJ Watt will line up opposite Chandler Jones and with @DeAndreHopkins. He will also make some serious money — more than $15M a year. Huge development. https://t.co/BM5dIUsjwz
