Arizona Cardinals (oldest franchise in NFL)

Cardinals DE J.J. Watt to undergo 'likely' season-ending shoulder surgery



Following a brilliant 10-year career with the Houston Texans, J.J. Watt signed a two-year contract with the Cardinals in March. In seven games this fall with Arizona, Watt has recorded 16 tackles, 10 quarterback hits, one sack and one forced fumble.

The 32-year-old defensive end injured his shoulder during the second quarter of the team's Week 7 victory over the Texans. Despite suffering the injury, Watt stayed in the contest to play 30 defensive snaps and record one tackle and one QB hit.

Watt began his career by playing in 80 consecutive regular-season games over his first five seasons, making four Pro Bowls and being named First-Team All-Pro four times, but this will now be the fourth time in the last six years where a campaign has been cut short due to injury. Watt was limited to three games in 2016 and five games in 2017, before bouncing back with a full 16-game season in 2018 where he made his fifth Pro Bowl, was named First-Team All-Pro for the fifth time, and led the NFL with seven forced fumbles.

J.J. Watt signed a 2 year, $28,000,000 contract with the Arizona Cardinals, including a $12,000,000 signing bonus, $23,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $14,000,000.

Age and injuries have definitely caught up to J.J. Watt, it's about time for him to call it a career. However, he probably won't officially retire (at least) until after next season.
