Texans Legend J.J. Watt TV Move? 'To Make Fun of My Brothers'

J.J. Watt jokes that he is joining CBS Sports so the Texans icon can have a Steeler-related "global platform to make fun of my brothers on."

In retirement, J.J. Watt could almost name his career path; being one of the greatest players in NFL history - not to mention arguably the greatest performer in Houston Texans history - tends to open doors. ... really, anywhere in the world.

But he desires a particular door that would allow him a peek into ... Pittsburgh?!

Watt, an all-time All-Pro, recently announced that he's joining CBS Sports as an NFL analyst and will in 2023 be appearing on "The NFL Today" pregame show. There is a great deal of sense to that. He talks the part. He looks the part. Slap a suit and tie on him and away he goes ...

To Pittsburgh? Well, not exactly. The Steelers are in the AFC, of course, as are the Texans. That means CBS will generally be working the Steelers games. And as it happens, J.J.'s brothers - star T.J. and helper Derek - are members of the Steelers roster.

So yes, J.J. will get to sit in the studio in New York (we presume), and keep an eye on all the games ... and if he chooses during pregame, halftime or postgame, make snarky remarks about his brothers ... which of course is standard operating procedure for this trio when you see them interacting on social media.

No, he's not going to play for the maybe-contending Steelers. Nor is he going to come out of retirement to help the Texans as they try to fight their way out of the NFL basement. He did joke, though, about his fake price for a return to the league during an appearance on the Green Light Podcast.

Does Pittsburgh or Houston want the future Hall of Famer? Watt said he'd do it ... for $20 million for one game. 

And now you get a taste for what's coming to CBS ... Analysis and insight, sure. But also ... It's all about the jokes for J.J.
