JJ Watt announces Texans will grant his release

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.
