Im not saying its not going to be two, three, four years. But Im also not saying its going to be nine, 10, 11 years. I literally do not know the answer. What I do know is Im going to continue to train my a s off. Im going to continue to work to be the best player in the world, and whenever that doesnt sound fun to me anymore, thats when its over.Watt has reduced his offseason workouts from 10 a week to ... nine, though he continues to recover from groin surgery (he says he Bobby Cox Jersey 's close to 100 percent). One thing that's not factoring into Watt's immediate decision: other young players who have retired early from the game because of repeated concu sions, and the fear of developing CTE.I respect every guy that has walked away," he told King. "I think every single guy in this league makes his own decision, and thats perfectly fine.

In terms of average annual salary, both (Jacksonville, $17.1 million) and (Giants, $17.0 million) are ahead of Watt ($16.7 million), according to .For what it's worth, Watt seems unconcerned with anything that doesn't directly help him or the Texans back to the playoffs. "I love the competition," he said. "I love everything that comes along with competing on a day-to-day basis. I love my team. And I love what the game does for not only myself, but helping to inspire millions of people. Im not at that point of leaving the game . I cant say that I will never get to that point, but I know the risk going into it and Im a grown man and I can make my own decisions. So Im going to continue to play until I feel like that risk is too Terry Pendleton Jersey great."
