Free-agent pass-rusher J.J. Watt has received offers from several teams, with his best offer landing in the $15 million to $16 million price range, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini.

Watt, who the Houston Texans released earlier this month, is reportedly in the process of narrowing down his options, but a decision on his next destination is not imminent, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans were among a dozen clubs showing an early interest in the three-time Defensive Player of the Year.

Watt and the Browns reportedly had a mutual interest due to Cleveland's potential contender status and willingness to meet his price range.

The 31-year-old has only notched nine sacks over his last two seasons, but his ability to generate pressure has not faltered. Watt has recorded 38 quarterback hits since 2019 is also just three years removed from a 16-sack campaign.
