J.J. Watt leaves door open (slightly) for potential return to Texans
J.J. Watt left the door open for a potential NFL comeback, although he admitted that the door is closing quickly. Watt, who announced his retirement after the 2022 season, said at his charity softball game on Saturday in Houston that he'd suit up for the Texans if he was truly needed. "I'm a very fortunate, lucky man, I have a beautiful wife, I have a beautiful son," Watt said. "I've had 12 great years in this league and I'm very thankful to have walked away healthy and playing great. "I told (former teammate and current Texans coach DeMeco Ryans) last year, I said, ‘Don't call unless you absolutely need it, but if you ever do call, I'll be there.' And he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I'll tell him that, because I'm not going to keep training the way I've been training, but he knows that if he ever truly does need it, I'll be there for him. I don't anticipate that happening -- they've got a very good group." Watt, 35, played for the Texans from 2011-20 before finishing his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals (2021-22). Houston bolstered its pass-rushing group by signing Danielle Hunter and Denico Autry, who last season recorded 16.5 and 11.5 sacks, respectively. Watt is a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, five-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection. He was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-2010s Team. Watt currently is an NFL analyst for CBS Sports. --Field Level Media
On Saturday night, the 2024 season for the CCCHS Red Raiders came to a close after a 5-1 loss to Spring Hill in the 4A District 9 Tournament.
The Seattle Seahawks announced coming to terms with their first-round draft pick, defensive tackle Byron Murphy II, following his first minicamp practice Friday. "I feel like there's some things I need to work on, but I feel like I'm learning, still getting in the groove of things," Murphy said. "Growing up, Seattle has been my favorite team, so just to be a part of this team and this organization, it really means a lot. I'm going to give everything I've got each and every day, 110 percent." Seattle chose Murphy, a native of Texas, No. 16 overall with their first selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Seattle Times reported the contract as being a four-year, fully-guaranteed, $16.083 million deal with an $8.516 million signing bonus. Murphy, 21, was a second-team Associated Press All-American playing along the defensive front for the Texas Longhorns in 2023 after two years of mostly backup duty. He was tabbed the Big 12 Conference defensive lineman of the year after recording 8.5 tackles for loss, including five sacks, in helping Texas win the Big 12 and earn a College Football Playoff bid. --Field Level Media

Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers will be ready when the New York Jets begin their offseason training activities on May 20. Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that the 40-year-old quarterback will have "no restrictions" eight months after Achilles surgery. After a celebrated tenure with Green Bay, Rodgers' 2023 Jets debut ended after just four snaps with a torn left Achilles. Saleh confirmed that Rodgers is on track to participate in "phase three" of OTAs, a four-week period when teams can hold 10 practices with non-contact, 11-on-11 work. "Once phase three hits, we're not anticipating any restrictions from what we can and can't do with him," Saleh told reporters Friday at the start of a two-day rookie minicamp. Rodgers participated in practices on a limited basis during the final month of last season. "The guy can still sling it," Saleh said, per ESPN. "Obviously, he's still working through his rehab, but there are no issues on the trajectory on which he's going." Rodgers passed for 59,055 yards, 475 touchdowns and 105 interceptions in 230 games (223 starts) for the Packers from 2005-22, compiling a record of 147-75-1. He made 10 Pro Bowls and led Green Bay to a Super Bowl XLV victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets' quarterback room also includes veteran Tyrod Taylor and rookie Jordan Travis, drafted in the fifth round last month out of Florida State. --Field Level Media
Former New York Giants tight end Aaron Thomas died on April 26 at his home in Corvallis, Ore., after a long illness, the team announced. He was 86. Thomas recorded 247 catches for 4,253 yards with 35 touchdowns in 117 career games with the Giants (1962-70). His touchdown reception total ranks tied for sixth in franchise history. "He's almost like the early version of (Kansas City Chiefs tight end) Travis Kelce," his son, Robb Thomas, told the team's website. "He was a tight end and flanker, but he really ran good routes and had a good feel about getting into open space." Thomas was selected by San Francisco in the fourth round of the 1961 draft before the 49ers traded him to the Giants two games into the 1962 season. He was named to the Pro Bowl during the 1964 season after reeling in 43 catches for 624 yards and six touchdowns. He retired after the 1970 season. "He was very proud of and loved his years with the Giants," Robb Thomas said. "He really liked the Mara family. They were good to him. He was always a Giants fan." Aaron Thomas is survived by his wife, Joan, and children Robb, Troy, Lance and Leslie. --Field Level Media
