The Watt family continues to savor every moment of J.J. Watt's search for a new team this offseason.

Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt joked how an otherwise innocuous tweet from his older brother carried some sort of hint as to his next destination:

Earlier this week, J.J. wrote, "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell," something that may mean nothing to you. To amateur detectives, this was clearly some sort of three-dimensional chess that pointed to the five-time All-Pro's next destination.

It's too bad this will inevitably end at some point.

ESPN's Dianna Russini reported Thursday that "multiple teams" have made offers to Watt, including a contract worth around $15-16 million.
