“I’m happy for him. He’s excited, extremely excited. It’s a very rare thing in today’s NFL (to play with one team), so it’s really special," JJ Watt said. "He’s earned it. He deserves it, and couldn’t be more proud of him.”

When asked about his training, JJ Watt says his brother is in great shape and is eager to report to training camp and have a ton of success this season.

JJ Watt had a funny reaction to TJ Watt's extension

Although JJ Watt was ecstatic that his brother signed a massive extension, he did have a funny joke about it.

JJ made $129.7 million in his 12-year career, while his brother will earn $123 million in three years. After the extension got done, JJ took to X to share his funny reaction.

"I swear, if this guy even lets me begin to reach for my wallet at dinner…," Watt wrote on X.

JJ Watt finished his career with 586 tackles, 114.5 sacks, 27 forced fumbles, 17 fumble recoveries, and 2 interceptions in 151 games.
