J.J. Watt, a part owner of Burnley F.C., might have to come out retirement if James Trafford, the club's goalkeeper, keeps playing out of his mind. In January, Watt posted messages between him and Trafford where the English footballer asked Watt to come out of retirement to play for the Cincinnati Bengals.
By now, many Bengals fans surely know the backstory here. Watt, partial owner of Burnley F.C., made a bet with goalkeeper James Trafford back in December that he would come out of retirement to join the Bengals if Trafford doesn’t surrender a goal for the remainder of the season.
Watt will really have to be pushed by his brother, T.J. Watt, the Pittsburgh Steelers' star linebacker, in real life and not just in their Peloton commercial.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been headlined by edge rusher T.J. Watt. Could age and extension concerns lead to a trade?
English Championship club Burnley made history by keeping a 10th successive clean sheet on Wednesday -- a record that edges part owner J.J. Watt towards a shock NFL return with the Cincinnati Bengals.
