Report: J.J. Watt Has NFL TV Contract Offers on the Table; CBS Viewed as Favorites

Just a few months following his retirement from professional football, J.J. Watt may find himself working in the booth next season, like so many other great former players before him, according to the New York Post's Andrew Marchand.

Watt reportedly has several TV offers on the table, but it is unclear whether he wants to take any of them. CBS is the favorite if the three-time Defensive Player of the Year takes a TV offer, per Marchand.

NBC and NFL Network have also shown interest in Watt.

Even if he does accept one of the gigs, Watt only plans on doing the job part-time and he wouldn't be replacing one of the analysts that the network already has in place, per Marchand.

If he joins CBS, he reportedly could be a part of the network's pregame show for Super Bowl LVIII.

The job of a color commentator is an exhausting one and would require Watt to travel just as much, if not more, than in his playing days if he takes on a full-time role. So, it's beyond understandable that he'd only want to dip his toe in at first, especially considering that he and his wife have a newborn daughter at home.

So, for now, it looks like Watt's main occupations will be as a father as well as Burnley FC's most famous minority owner.

Watt, 34, announced his retirement back in January and leaves the game as one of the greatest defensive players to ever strap it up. In addition to his three DPOYs, he was also a seven-time All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowler, two-time NFL sacks leader and a member of the league's 2010s All-Decade team.
