J.J. Watt Keeps NFL Return Option Open for Texans Under Specific Circumstance

Retired NFL star J.J. Watt may consider a comeback with the Houston Texans if the team faces critical needs, marking a conditional readiness to rejoin the field.

Watt, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, expressed conditional willingness to return to professional football during a charity event.
The former Houston Texan specifies that he would only consider coming out of retirement if the team 'absolutely needs it'.
Despite his openness, Watt emphasized this offer stands for 2024 only, as he plans to cease intensive training.
The Houston Texans, under coach DeMeco Ryans, have significantly improved, reducing the likelihood of needing Watt's return.
Watt currently serves as an NFL analyst for CBS Sports, maintaining a connection to the sport post-retirement.
