As one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, it's no surprise that JJ Watt was highly sought after when he became a free agent this offseason. After spending his first 10 seasons with the Houston Texans, Watt ultimately decided to sign with the Arizona Cardinals.
There are a number of reasons why Arizona was an attractive destination for Watt. Firstly, they have a young and talented core of players on both sides of the ball. With guys like Kyler Murray, Deandre Hopkins and Chandler Jones, the Cardinals are clearly committed to winning now.
Additionally, signing with Arizona reunites Watt with former Texans' coach Bruce Arians. Arians was instrumental in developing Watt into the player he is today, so there's clearly a comfort level there.
Finally, it's worth noting that the Cardinals play in a relatively weak division (the NFC West). This gives them a good chance to compete for a playoff spot right away.
All things considered, it's easy to see why JJ Watt chose to sign with the Arizona Cardinals this offseason.
