The market for recently released defensive end J.J. Watt is beginning to take shape.
Since the Houston Texans released him on Friday, roughly a dozen teams have expressed interest in signing the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans are among the clubs eyeing Watt, according to Werder.
The Steelers already employ the other two Watt brothers, T.J. and Derek. Meanwhile, Bills players are reaching out to Watt.
