J.J. Watt to Join the Detroit Lions? Only If He Gets the Massive Deal a Fan Proposed!
J.J. Watt, the former NFL superstar turned CBS analyst, had a humorous and unforgettable interaction with a Detroit Lions fan during his recent visit to the Motor City. While attending the Lions’ matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Watt shared a laugh-worthy proposal from a devoted fan that left an impression.
Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Watt recounted the amusing moment when the fan jokingly offered him a staggering $99 million to unretire and suit up for the Lions. Always quick with a witty remark, Watt played along, joking that he’d absolutely take the deal—if it were genuine.
Though Watt made it clear the proposal was all in jest, the idea of such an eye-popping contract left fans wondering what could have been if the offer were serious.
During his visit, Watt also took the chance to indulge in a Detroit classic: the iconic Coney dog. He couldn’t help but rave about the experience, saying, “When someone hands you a Coney dog, how can you not eat it?” It was evident Watt enjoyed his short stay in the city, soaking up both the flavors and the energy of the local scene.
While Watt remains focused on his broadcasting career, Lions fans can still dream about the possibility of the legendary player donning Honolulu Blue. Who knows—maybe the allure of a Coney dog could help seal the deal!
