Texans' J.J. Watt focused on proving 'my worth,' not an extension

HOUSTON -- Coming off an injury-plagued portion of his career, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt isn't seeking a contract extension this offseason.

Despite having two years with no guaranteed money left on his contract, Watt is instead focused on "trying to prove my worth."

"No, I don't think that's necessary," Watt said in a Zoom news conference on Wednesday. "I think that -- I fully understand and respect the situation that I'm in at the moment and what's happened in the past few years, so I'm not gonna sit here and demand anything.
