JJ Watt has asked the Houston Texans for his release and said the sides have "mutually agreed" to part ways.
The star defensive end made the announcement himself in a video on his Twitter page. Watt, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and cornerstone of the franchise, is still seeking a Super Bowl title as the Texans find themselves embroiled in offseason controversy. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is trying to work his way out of town as well.
