They’re not the favorites, but the Green Bay Packers appear to be in the running for perennial All-Pro defensive end J-J Watt.
The three-time N-F-L Defensive Player of the Year has been given his release by the Texans.
The Packers’ salary cap situation will make it hard for the team to bring the Wisconsin native home.
Oddsmakers say the best bet is that Watt will wind up with the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A second likely landing spot would be with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where Watt’s brothers, Derek and T-J, are playing.
One betting house puts the Bucs as the best choice, the Steelers next, then the Baltimore Ravens and the Packers.
